What is the 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
