Features and feature flags
R1-MCP ships more capability than most people need at once. Rather than putting everything in front of every user, features are opt-in per account — you turn on what you use, and Claude’s tool surface grows accordingly.
Manage them in the Features section of the R1-MCP dashboard.
Why they’re flags and not just always on
Section titled “Why they’re flags and not just always on”Every enabled feature adds tools to the code_mode description Claude reads on
every request. Enabling everything makes Claude slower and less focused. Turn
on what you actually use.
Generally available
Section titled “Generally available”No password — toggle them yourself.
FastIron documentation search plus the end-to-end ICX switch configuration workflow. Full-text search over the command reference and configuration guides, scoped to a specific firmware train so the syntax you get matches the switch you’re configuring. See ICX switches.
Webhooks
Section titled “Webhooks”An inbound webhook receiver plus analytics built on the events it collects: incidents, client troubleshooting, admin audit trails, anomaly detection, event watches, and roaming analysis. See Webhooks and analytics.
Documentation search over RUCKUS Edge.
Write Guard
Section titled “Write Guard”Confirm-before-write. Any mutating call is previewed to you — including which tenant it targets — and must be confirmed before it executes. If you let Claude near a production tenant, turn this on. See Write Guard.
Live CLI
Section titled “Live CLI”A held console session to devices (device_cli), plus MOP — Method of
Procedure — authoring, recording, replay, and export, with an unattended
autopilot mode. See Live CLI and MOPs.
Test Bed
Section titled “Test Bed”Capture, plan, and apply lab hardware swaps between saved configuration sets, with export/import and configuration restore. See Test beds.
Venue extraction and copy tooling — snapshot a venue’s configuration, plan a copy, verify it, and undo it.
Early Access
Section titled “Early Access”Password-gated. Ask for access if one of these fits your work.
GraphQL
Section titled “GraphQL”call_r1_gql against the RUCKUS internal GraphQL services — analytics (network
health, incidents, config change, client and incident troubleshooting),
IntentAI, Service Validation, and Zoom Call QoE — plus schema reference docs.
Introspection is disabled on those services, so R1-MCP ships reference documents instead; Claude fetches the relevant one before composing a query.
On-LAN ground truth via Probe MCP. R1 tells you what the controller believes; the probe tells you what’s actually on the wire. Linking the two lets Claude reconcile them.
Data Studio
Section titled “Data Studio”Sixteen ds_* tools driving a headless Apache Superset to build and publish
charts and dashboards from R1 data.
Console
Section titled “Console”An in-dashboard console surface.
Effect on prompts
Section titled “Effect on prompts”Workflow prompts are gated the same way as tools — enabling a feature adds both its tools and its prompts. After changing features, reconnect the connector in Claude so it picks up the new list.
