Bill Doerrfeld | December 8, 2025

My latest on InfoWorld reviews ten MCP servers for devops.

How can MCP servers accelerate devops? To find out, today I review ten MCP servers on InfoWorld for MCP-opsing with AI agents.


Using natural language, you could tap these servers and combine them to open or merge pull requests, reference internal style, update a Jira issue based on a bug report, and a lot more.


Had fun digging into the docs to see where some of the leading devops platforms and tools are at with their MCP servers and tools.


This one reviews the capabilities of official MCP servers from GitHub, Notion, Atlassian, Argo CD (developed by Akuity), Grafana Labs, HashiCorp’s Terraform, GitLab, Snyk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Pulumi.


It also mentions Block's journey with internal agents and MCP, and emerging popular MCP servers for developers, like the Filesystem MCP, Linear MCP, Chrome DevTools MCP server, and Playwright MCP server.


Many are still experimental or offer mainly read-only functions, but there's still a lot of potential here.
