Damira AI

Install the Cursor Plugin

Damira is a Cursor plugin. Two steps, no signup. CCIE-level troubleshooting, upgrade planning, and config audit inside your editor.

Damira is a Cursor plugin. CCIE-level network ops inside your editor — troubleshooting, upgrade planning, config audit — grounded in live vendor docs, release notes, and CVE data.

Your AI writes the MOP. Damira makes sure it's true.

Advisor mode is the default. Damira never touches your devices. A device gate blocks the agent from SSHing to network gear — even when every safety flag is off. It recommends the exact commands. You run them.

Install in Cursor — 60 seconds, no signup

agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ciscoittech/damira-plugins

Then Settings → Plugins (or type /plugins in the agent) and install damira. A shared demo key is built in — 50 queries a day.

Ask it something real:

my OSPF adjacency is stuck in EXSTART between a 4451 and a Nexus 9k

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and MCP

Cursor is above. These are the other install paths.

One command:

claude mcp add --transport stdio damira -- uvx damira-mcp

No API key required to try it. When you're ready for your own:

export DAMIRA_API_KEY="oncall_sk_your_key_here"

Verify: start a new session and ask a network question. You should see Damira tools being called.

Prerequisite: uvcurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Using your own key

The demo key is for kicking the tires. For real use:

  1. Sign up at damiraai.com (free, no credit card)
  2. Dashboard → API KeysCreate Key
  3. Copy the key — it starts with oncall_sk_
# Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export DAMIRA_API_KEY="oncall_sk_your_key_here"

Never commit API keys to source control. Use environment variables or your client's secret management.
