Cisco DevNet introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for enhancing DevOps workflows with AI assistants.
- MCP enables AI assistants, such as Anthropic's Claude, to interact with external tools and data sources like observability platforms, security tools, and CI/CD systems.
- The protocol allows AI assistants to fetch real-time information, execute code, and perform actions within enterprise environments.
- This integration facilitates AI assistants acting as 'DevOps buddies,' assisting with tasks like log retrieval, incident response, and pipeline management.
- Cisco DevNet developed a reference implementation ('local-devops-tools' server) to demonstrate MCP's capabilities with tools like Splunk On-Call/PagerDuty and GitLab.
