opnsense-mcp-server and pfsense-mcp-server
These are competitors offering similar firewall management capabilities through MCP, as both provide AI-assisted control over different open-source firewall platforms (OPNsense vs pfSense) and would typically be selected based on which firewall infrastructure an organization already operates.
