How do I declare a new incident using the agent?

You can use the 'create_incident' tool. Simply provide a name and optionally a summary and severity level. The agent will trigger the declaration in FireHydrant and return the new incident details.

Can I see recent infrastructure changes using this server?

Yes! The 'list_change_events' tool retrieves a history of recent changes. This is extremely useful for identifying potential root causes during an active incident investigation.

How do I add a status update to an ongoing incident?

Use the 'add_incident_note' tool. You'll need the Incident ID and the text of your update. The note will be immediately posted to the incident's timeline for all responders to see.

About FireHydrant MCP Server

Connect your FireHydrant account to any AI agent and automate your incident management workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). FireHydrant provides a comprehensive platform for declaring incidents, managing service catalogs, and coordinating team responses. Now, you can manage your site reliability and incident response directly through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use FireHydrant tools. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Incident Management — Declare new incidents, list active ones, and update milestones or fields instantly.
Service Catalog — Access and list all defined services to understand impact and dependencies during an outage.
Team Coordination — List and manage responder teams to ensure the right people are assigned to every incident.
Timeline Updates — Post notes and status updates directly to an incident's timeline from your chat interface.
Runbook Execution — List active runbooks to understand the automated workflows available for your response.
Post-Incident Analysis — Retrieve retrospectives and post-incident reviews to facilitate learning and improvement.
Change Tracking — List change events to identify recent infrastructure or code changes that might have triggered an incident.

The FireHydrant MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

FireHydrant + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating FireHydrant MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call FireHydrant tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
