MCP catalog operations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Catalog operations bring the Cloud Management Platform (CMP) catalog into any MCP-compatible AI agent. Users can find, order, reorder, and approve catalog items in natural language. The agent resolves the blueprint, group, environment, and required parameters, then submits the order.

How it works

When a user requests something from the catalog, the agent handles the entire process:

It finds the matching blueprint from the blueprints the user is permitted to order.
It determines where the order can go, such as the valid groups and environments, choosing automatically when there is only one option and asking when there are several.
It resolves the required parameters, refreshes dependent options, and applies the same show/hide rules as the UI order form.
It presents the complete order for confirmation before submission.
It returns an order ID and tracks the order to completion.

For multi-tier blueprints that require environment selection, the agent first resolves the environment, then loads only that environment’s parameters. This ensures quick responses regardless of how many environments a blueprint spans.

MCP custom tools

Extend the built-in MCP tool set in Cloud Management Platform (CMP) with organization-specific tools.

Two ways to expose a tool

MCP Tool Actions: purpose-built agent tools authored directly in CMP
Existing server and resource actions: can be promoted to agent tools

Both are permission-aware, so agents only see and run what the authenticated user is entitled to.

After creating or modifying a custom tool, reconnect to the MCP server so the agent picks up the updated tool list.
