Nutanix, a hybrid multicloud computing enterprise, has announced a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP).

It translates language requests into system actions while automatically enforcing existing corporate security and access policies.
Further, it creates a safety passthrough around AI tools, allowing IT teams to automate routine operations and build customer AI-driven workflows.
How MCP servers address multicloud AI demand
The launch of its MCP server enables Nutanix customers to build agentic AI applications that have access to a tools layer that powers secure actions on NCP. This enables IT teams to accelerate daily operations across large hybrid multicloud environments without losing visibility or control.
The MCP server also enables AI agents and developer tools to interact with NCP through the Nutanix Prism v4 API Gateway. This Gateway handles all execution, governance, and security controls, enabling the MCP Server to…
