SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nutanix today announced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP), enabling customers to safely use AI tools to automate their daily cloud operations. The MCP server for NCP is an open-source software that implements the Model Context Protocol specification and enables AI agents and developer tools to interact with NCP through the Nutanix Prism v4 API.
Operating modern hybrid multicloud environments traditionally depends on deep technical expertise and strict access controls. Although AI assistants can drastically speed up how these systems are managed, enterprises need the certainty that AI actions are safe and authorized. This level of security is necessary for everyday operations, from executing major system upgrades to tracking network performance across the entire business.
The new MCP Server for NCP solves these challenges by acting as a secure passthrough between AI assistants, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor to safely translate plain-English requests into precise infrastructure API actions for an organization’s hybrid multicloud environment.
