What are MCP connections?
MCP is an open protocol that allows AI agents to discover and call tools provided by external servers. In Pastures, this means the AI diagnostics crew can:- Create tickets in Jira when diagnosing issues
- Trigger PagerDuty incidents for critical findings
- Query external systems for additional context during diagnostics
