Port MCP Server

Port MCP Server

The Port IO MCP server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling advanced automations and natual language interactions for developers and AI applications.

What You Can Do With Port MCP

Find Information Quickly

• Get entity details - "Who is the owner of service X?"
• Check on-call status - "Who is on call right now?"
• Get catalog insights - "How many services do we have in production?"

Analyze Scorecards

• Identify weak points - "Which services are failing for the gold level and why?"
• Get compliance status - "Show me all services that don't meet our security requirements"
• Improve quality - "What do I need to fix to reach the next scorecard level?"

Create Resources

• Build scorecards - "Create a new scorecard called 'Security Posture' with levels Basic, Silver, and Gold"
• Define rules - "Add a rule that requires services to have a team owner to reach the Silver level"
• Setup quality gates - "Create a rule that checks if services have proper documentation"

We're continuously expanding Port MCP's capabilities. Have a suggestion? We'd love to hear your feedback on our roadmap!
