Hi,
I think we should provide an MCP server on uss and implement all of the tools available under z/OS Open tools as part of that server. This would allow customers to reuse these and provide impetus to create new ones to simplify management of z/OS.

I'm reading up on MCP - is this the right place to start- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server?

This one sounds interesting from a porting standpoint: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/git

Anthropic started the standard, so they are probably the best place to start. There are dozens of youtubes on it (that's how i would get started). Its well placed now as Anthopic (who started it), Openai and google are going to support it, so from ai client point of view thats a great start. Here is a list of clients - https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients, Here is just one of the sites that try and compile a list of built servers (it has 8k of them). (https://mcp.so/) good luck.
