The author asks infrastructure and platform engineers how they use AI agents day to day, and shares a setup where a GPU hosting company connected internal tools like Grafana, NetBox, and private APIs through MCP.
The agent is used as an infrastructure copilot to:
- check GPU availability at a site
- look up rack and device details
- summarize Grafana alerts
- correlate data across systems
- help troubleshoot infrastructure issues
The post asks what MCP servers or internal tools others have wired up, which workflows save the most time, and whether there are useful use cases beyond code writing.
