ssid.ai MCP server
by Drumworks
Look up a router's factory login details and check what a MAC address belongs to, with sources.
This is a helper for your AI that answers two common questions: what is the default login for this router, and who made this device with this MAC address. It is handy for anyone setting up, resetting, or checking a router at home or at work, and for people who need to know which company a piece of hardware came from.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to a service, and here it connects your AI to ssid.ai. Once connected, your AI can ask ssid.ai for router login details or MAC address information and bring the answer back to you. You just ask in normal words, and the helper does the looking up.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like what is the default password for a TP-Link Archer AX55. Your AI sends that request to this helper, which asks the ssid.ai service. The service checks its records, which are cited to the manufacturer's own documentation, and sends back the default login IP, username, password, reset steps, and the source link. Your AI shows you the answer in the chat, and it also tells you if there is no factory password at all, so you are not left guessing.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Find the default login IP, username, and password for a router model
- See the factory reset steps for a router
- Check whether a router still ships with a universal default password
- Look up which company made a device from its MAC address
- Spot when a MAC address is randomized instead of a real vendor
- Submit a correction to a router's details if you have a source
- See how many lookups you have left before hitting a limit
Try asking your AI
- “What is the default password for a Netgear Nighthawk R7000?”
- “Look up the MAC address F4:F5:E8:11:22:33 and tell me who made it”
- “Does the TP-Link Archer AX55 still use a universal default password?”
- “What is the admin login IP for a Linksys router?”
What it gives back to you
You get back a short answer in the chat with the details you asked for, such as the login IP, username, password, or reset steps. For MAC lookups, you get the company name, or a note that the address is randomized. Every router answer also includes a link to the manufacturer's own page so you can check it yourself. Some answers also show how many lookups you have left today.
Before you start
What you need
- An MCP-capable app like Claude Desktop or Cursor
- Node.js 18 or newer if you run it with npx
- An ssid Pro key only if you want to submit corrections (15 dollars a month)
Good to know
The router details are read from manufacturer documents, so always check the source link before relying on them, and the compliance result is a documentation reading, not legal advice.
