# MCP Servers

MCP Servers provide access to essential external systems and tools that aren't directly part of cloud infrastructure or code repositories. This includes observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), SIEM tools, ticketing systems, communication platforms, knowledge bases, and specialized DuploCloud integrations.
