Nutanix 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 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. With the launch of its MCP server, Nutanix customers can build agentic AI applications that have access to a robust tools layer to power secure actions on NCP, empowering IT teams to speed up daily operations across large hybrid cloud environments without losing visibility or control.

The solution translates everyday language requests into precise, safe system actions while automatically enforcing existing corporate security and access policies. By creating a dedicated safety passthrough around AI tools, the solution allows IT teams to confidently automate routine operations and build custom AI-driven workflows.
Enterprise AI tools are only as secure as the platform APIs powering them. The MCP server addresses this reality by building directly on the Nutanix Prism V4 API Gateway, allowing connected AI tools to inherit the…
