"This is where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in. MCP is a proposed universal standard for connecting AI assistants with external tools and data. Interest has heated up since the protocol's debut in late November 2024, with major tech companies rallying MCP support within new releases, alongside strong community interest. For devops, MCP gives AI agents new abilities across common operations: Git version control, continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), observability, accessing documentation, and more. By linking natural language commands to multi-step, back-end processes, MCP essentially enables " chatops 2.0.""
"GitHub MCP server It's rare to meet a developer who doesn't use GitHub in some form or fashion. As such, GitHub's official MCP server is quickly becoming a popular way for AI agents to interact with code repositories. GitHub's remote MCP server exposes a range of tools that let agents perform repository operations, create or comment on issues, open or merge pull requests, and retrieve project metadata on collaborators, commits, or security advisories."
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a proposed universal standard for connecting AI assistants with external tools and data. Interest accelerated after its late November 2024 debut, with major tech companies and community contributors adding support. MCP enables AI agents to execute devops tasks such as Git version control, CI/CD orchestration, infrastructure as code management, observability, and documentation access. MCP maps natural language commands to multi-step backend processes, enabling advanced chatops capabilities. Official MCP servers now appear across popular devops platforms, exposing endpoints for repository operations, issue and pull request management, and CI/CD controls like GitHub Actions.
