Summary

The transition from chat-based AI to agentic AI, which can autonomously act on data, is facilitated by the New Relic AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, providing a standardized way to integrate AI agents with business tools. The MCP Server creates a bi-directional channel between large language models and external tools, eliminating the need for custom integrations and enabling seamless ecosystem integration with popular AI assistants like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT. This integration allows for real-time observability insights and intelligent decision-making directly within workflows, transforming the server into an action engine that retrieves and disseminates actionable data. New Relic's commitment to the open MCP standard positions it within a broad ecosystem of developer tools, and the server’s adoption is becoming a standard for modern workflow integration. Currently in public preview, the MCP Server offers a scalable way to embed New Relic’s observability capabilities into custom AI solutions, enhancing autonomous operations and reducing engineering downtime.
