What is Model Context Protocol?

MCP is an open standard that gives LLMs a structured interface to read live system state and execute scoped tool calls — think of it as a type-safe API between your AI model and your infrastructure.

1
Expose Context

SteadyHelm's MCP server exposes Kubernetes resources — Deployments, HPA status, ConfigMaps, Helm release history — as typed MCP resources.

2
LLM Reasons

The LLM reads context and generates a proposed action (e.g. helm upgrade --set image.tag=v2.3.1 --atomic) with a reasoning trace.

3
Gate & Execute

OPA policy validates the action. A human approves via PR or Slack. SteadyHelm executes atomically and logs the full replay chain.

// SteadyHelm MCP tool call — cluster context snapshot
{
  "tool": "steadyhelm.cluster_state",
  "context": {
    "namespace": "production",
    "helm_releases": ["api-gateway", "model-serving"],
    "unhealthy_pods": 2,
    "hpa_utilisation": 94,
    "opa_violations": ["missing-resource-limits"]
  }
}

// LLM reasoning output →
{
  "action": "helm_upgrade",
  "release": "model-serving",
  "flags": "--set resources.limits.cpu=2 --atomic",
  "reasoning": "HPA at 94% — resource limits missing causing OPA violation. Patch fixes both.",
  "confidence": 0.91,
  "requires_approval": true
}

Why Agentic DevOps Wins

Standard automation reacts. Agentic infrastructure predicts and acts.

Cognitive Scaling

AI agents analyse external signals (traffic patterns, market events) and pre-scale Kubernetes clusters before load hits — not after CPU crosses 80%.

Policy-Gated Safety

Every proposed action passes OPA validation. Rollback commands are pre-computed and stored atomically so recovery is instant if anything drifts.

Intelligent FinOps

Agents correlate cost anomalies with deployment events. When a new Helm release spikes GPU spend, the agent flags it and proposes a right-sizing strategy automatically.

Full Audit Replay

Every agent decision — context, reasoning trace, approval, execution — is immutably stored. Replay any incident to understand the exact causal chain.

Pair-Programming Model

Warble Cloud embeds a senior Kubernetes Architect and an AI Platform Engineer on your team — they program the agents alongside your engineers, transferring knowledge continuously.

50% OPEX Reduction

Clients running Agentic DevOps see an average 50% reduction in infrastructure OPEX within 12 months via right-sizing, spot-instance optimisation, and automated incident remediation.
