Cisco Crosswork is Cisco's service-provider network automation portfolio — Crosswork Network Controller, Data Gateway, Zero Touch Provisioning, Optimization Engine, Network Change Automation and Crosswork Workflow Manager. Unusually for Cisco, the specifications are published openly: the CiscoDevNet/crosswork-openapi-spec repository carries more than a hundred Swagger documents across the CNC, CDG, ZTP, COE and NCAHI components and multiple product versions, including IETF L2VPN/L3VPN and traffic-engineering service models, and Cisco publishes a further 90-operation Swagger contract for Crosswork Workflow Manager 2.1 behind its DevNet reference renderer. That CWM contract includes a first-party Model Context Protocol endpoint. Crosswork is customer-deployed software: every base URL is a path on a host the operator installs, and there is no Cisco-hosted endpoint, no published price and no rate limit.
