New open-source utility empowers LLM-based assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini to query VersaONE SASE data in real time
In a move poised to redefine how enterprises integrate AI into network and security operations, Versa Networks today launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server – a powerful utility that connects Agentic AI tools to live Versa systems for faster issue resolution and intelligent automation.
The Versa MCP Server enables LLM-powered copilots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and internal AI agents to securely query data across the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, eliminating the need for toggling between dashboards or manually correlating security incidents.
“We built the MCP Server to help customers reduce alert fatigue and unlock new levels of productivity by letting their AI tools securely access Versa’s context,” said Apurva Mehta, CTO of Versa. “It’s open source, extensible, and already delivering results.”
With use cases already in production, the MCP Server will be demoed live at RSA Conference 2025 (Booth #960, South Expo Hall).
AI That Sees the Whole Picture
Traditional network operations often require engineers to manually gather insights from siloed dashboards. Versa’s MCP Server solves this with a standardized API layer that gives AI agents unified access to metrics, configurations, routing data, and alarm statuses — all with granular access controls.
Use cases include:
- Viewing appliance status and health
- Pulling real-time alarm insights
- Analyzing interface and path health
- Checking routing summaries and bandwidth data
- Reviewing configuration templates
“Customers spend up to 70% of incident response time just collecting information,” said Sridhar Iyer, Director of Engineering, ML/AI, Versa. “With MCP, we’ve seen up to 45% reductions in mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR).”
Open-Source, Ready-to-Deploy
Available under an open-source license, the MCP Server is built on Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, an open standard launched in November 2024 that allows AI assistants to securely access enterprise data at scale.
Key Capabilities:
- Unified access to appliance, alarm, and routing data
- Integration with any LLM-based assistant or internal copilot
- Real-time monitoring of security and service metrics
- API-first design for customizable automation workflows
Versa continues to lead innovation in Universal SASE, and the MCP Server further strengthens its commitment to AI-first security and network management. Enterprises can explore and contribute to the project via GitHub: https://github.com/versa-networks/vnmcpserver
