Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-infoblox Create a host record for dev-api-01 with the next available IP in 10.10.50.0/24"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Scored across 35 tools
Each tool targets a distinct Infoblox resource or action: different DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, TXT, Host), DHCP entities (fixed addresses, ranges, leases), IPAM networks, zones, and grid components. No two tools have overlapping purposes.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, using verbs like create_, delete_, get_, search_, update_, restart_. There is no mixing of conventions or verbs.
With 35 tools, the server exceeds the 25+ threshold for 'too many'. While Infoblox is a complex platform, the number of tools is excessive and could be streamlined (e.g., combining create_record types with a parameter).
The tool surface covers creation, reading, and deletion for most resources, but lacks updates for networks, zones, DHCP ranges, and some other objects. This leaves notable gaps that agents may encounter.
Unified MCP Server is a remote MCP connector for AI agents and vertical AI products that provides access to 22,000+ authorized SaaS tools across 400+ integrations and 24 categories directly inside LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cohere). Tools operate only on explicitly authorized customer connections, enabling agents to safely read and write against live third-party systems.
Hosted MCP server connecting AI assistants to 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions via Zapier.
The Turkish Airlines MCP server enables AI models to securely access live airline data and services, designed for developers and power users to build and test AI-driven travel solutions. It provides 13 specialized tools covering flight information (real-time status, schedules, availability), booking management (PNR details, check-in, baggage allowances), and personalized services (Miles&Smiles profiles, flight history, promotions). The server uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and is deployed on cloud-native infrastructure with enterprise-level security.
The CustomGPT.ai MCP server is a fully managed, RAG-powered endpoint that connects large language models with private knowledge bases and external data sources. It provides tools for retrieval-augmented generation queries (send_message), data ingestion (upload_file), and source listing, enabling AI agents to query private documents like PDFs with high accuracy and real-time citations.
