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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple FireHydrant tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
