Key Background
Versa Networks, a leader in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), has introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server—a groundbreaking tool designed to optimize AI integration for network and security operations. MCP Server fills the gap between Agentic AI platforms and Versa’s industry-leading VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, focused on simplifying processes, minimizing alert overload, and speeding administrative workflows.
Network operations teams currently experience inefficiencies resulting from having to manage several dashboards and interfaces to watch over different segments of their infrastructure. This disjointed system compels engineers to manually cross-check information, creating an enormous delay in incident response times. MCP Server rectifies this problem directly by presenting a standardized API layer that enables AI models to access, understand, and respond to real-time network and security information—all across a single unified interface.
Engineered with flexibility as a key priority, the MCP Server facilitates interoperability with popular AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Anthropic’s Claude, in addition to homegrown AI copilots. With this integration, AI software can now obtain information like device health statistics, alarm status, routing summaries, bandwidth measurements, and configuration data without platform flipping.
Early MCP Server adopters have seen as much as a 45% decrease in mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) since the system allows for automated visibility and decision-making. Engineers are able to troubleshoot network problems, including branch-level outages, in a matter of moments by querying all pertinent data in real-time using a personally configured AI interface.
Adding to its popularity, the MCP Server is open-source and can be customized, making it perfect for businesses that want to integrate it into their own systems. With customizable login, secure access controls, and extensive endpoint coverage, the MCP Server enables smarter, AI-powered infrastructure management.
The solution will be showcased at RSA Conference 2025, giving prospective users a first-hand experience of how the MCP Server can transform network and security operations.
