How It Works

Cisco Meraki to AI in three steps

The Problem

Meraki dashboards show device counts but not guest behavior. Your WiFi access points already see every device — you just can't query that data programmatically or feed it to AI agents.

The Solution

Real-time presence detection via Scanning API v3 and CMX webhooks
RSSI-based location analytics with zone-level granularity
Device inventory, SSID utilization, and AP health monitoring
Automatic MAC pseudonymization for GDPR compliance
Sub-100ms event normalization into canonical schema

What Data You Get from Cisco Meraki

Every field below is normalized into the GuestNetworks canonical schema and available via REST API and MCP tools.

Field Name ↑	Type	Description	Example
apMac	string	Access point MAC address	Q2KD-XXXX-XXXX
apName	string	Human-readable AP name from dashboard	Lobby-AP-01
clientMac	string	Client device MAC address (pseudonymized)	ab:cd:ef:::**
connectedAt	string	ISO timestamp of association event	2024-03-22T08:30:00Z
dwellTime	number	Time in seconds the client has been present	1847
ipv4	string	Client IPv4 address	10.0.100.42
manufacturer	string	Device manufacturer from OUI lookup	Apple
os	string	Detected client operating system	iOS 17
rssi	number	Received signal strength indicator in dBm	-42
seenEpoch	number	Unix epoch timestamp of last detection	1711036800
ssid	string	SSID the client is associated with	GuestWiFi-5G
vlan	number	VLAN ID the client is on	100

Comparison

Cisco Meraki alone vs. Cisco Meraki + GuestNetworks

Without GuestNetworks

--Manual dashboard exports in CSV
--No real-time alerts or automation
--Data stays in Meraki silo
--Can't query from AI agents
--MAC addresses exposed in raw data
--No cross-vendor normalization

With GuestNetworks

Live streaming via REST API + webhooks
Threshold alerts and anomaly detection
Unified schema across all vendors
15 MCP tools for AI agent access
Automatic MAC pseudonymization (GDPR)
One canonical format, any connector
