# Automated Operations MCP

> The MCP endpoint for Automated Operations. Production URL: `https://mcp.automatedoperations.com`. Auth: `Authorization: Bearer $AO_TOKEN`.

This subdomain hosts the per-client configuration guide for connecting AI agents to the Automated Operations MCP server. The actual MCP server is reachable at the same URL — POST JSON-RPC requests with the bearer token to use it.

## How AO works (so the MCP makes sense)

Automated Operations is a three-tier system. The **AO Toolkit** runs on customer infrastructure (servers, Kubernetes, anywhere) and collects telemetry over outbound connections only. **AO Cloud** aggregates that telemetry across the customer's fleet, maps services and owners, and learns dependencies and incident patterns. The **MCP server at this URL** serves enriched context to the customer's AI agents — every tool call is joined against AO Cloud's model, so agents get answers in context rather than raw API output.
