Cortex MCP

Search the catalog for entities (services, domains, teams, resources), ranked by relevance. This is the primary way to find entities. Put search text in query (plain words work; AND/OR/NOT supported). Scope with types (e.g. service, domain, team); owners to get everything a team owns, including its sub-teams; domains to get everything within a domain, including its sub-domains; or `catalog

List and enumerate catalog entities by structured filters (groups, types, owners, git repositories) with pagination. To find or search for entities by name, relevance, team, or domain, use searchCatalog instead.

List all dependencies for an entity including both incoming (who depends on this service) and outgoing (what this service depends on) relationships. Essential for understanding service interactions, planning changes, and assessing blast radius

Get specific dependency details between two entities including method, path, and metadata. Useful for understanding the nature of the relationship, API contracts, and communication patterns between services

Retrieve comprehensive details about a specific entity including its metadata, ownership, hierarchies, and relationships. This is the primary method for getting complete information about services, teams, or domains.

List all custom data key-value pairs associated with an entity. Retrieve metadata, configuration settings, and custom attributes stored for services, resources, or domains. Supports pagination for entities with large amounts of custom data

Retrieve a specific custom data value by key for an entity. Efficiently access individual metadata attributes, configuration values, or custom properties without fetching all custom data

List custom events for an entity with optional filtering by type and time range. Supports pagination and filtering by event type, start time, and end time to retrieve historical event data

Retrieve a specific custom event by its UUID. Returns event details including title, description, timestamp, type, and any custom data associated with the event

List all deployments for a specific catalog entity. Returns deployment history including timestamps, environments, SHAs, and deployment types in paginated format

Retrieve the current on-call personnel for an entity in real-time. Shows who is actively responsible for incident response, including primary and secondary on-call, contact information, and rotation schedules

Retrieve custom metric data points for an entity. Returns paginated time-series data for a specific custom metric, with optional filtering by date range to analyze trends and patterns

Execute point-in-time queries for one or more engineering metrics. Returns current metric values for specified time periods, with support for batch queries and optional period-over-period comparisons. Time range (startTime/endTime) cannot exceed 6 months (180 days). PREREQUISITES - Follow this workflow: 1. Discover all available metrics ONCE: Call listMetricDefini

List all available engineering metric definitions. USAGE - Call this endpoint BEFORE querying metrics (queryPointInTimeMetrics): 1. Once at start: Call with view='basic' to discover all available metrics - cache this response 2. Once per metric: Call with view='full' and key=METRIC_KEY to get detailed metadata - cache each response 3. Use cached metadata to constru

List all initiatives in the organization with optional filters for draft and expired initiatives. View active improvement programs, strategic projects, and their current status to understand organizational priorities and track progress

Retrieve detailed information about a specific initiative including its goals, timeline, affected entities, scorecard targets, and current progress. Essential for understanding initiative scope and tracking achievement of objectives

FLEXIBLE REQUEST STRUCTURE: The request accepts an object with optional fields for each resource type: - myEntitiesRequest: Fetch entities (services, resources, domains) owned by the user - myTeamsRequest: Fetch teams the user belongs to - myScorecardsRequest: Fet

List all available relationship types with pagination. View relationship type configurations to understand what kinds of relationships can be created between entities like services, resources, domains, and teams

Get complete details of a specific relationship type including its configuration, rules, source/destination filters, and inheritance settings. Essential for understanding how entities can be connected and what validation rules apply

List all entity relationships/full graph for a specific relationship type across the entire organization. Returns paginated results showing all source-destination pairs, useful for understanding the complete relationship graph and finding all connections of a particular type

List all scorecards in the organization with optional filtering. View scorecard configurations to understand quality standards, compliance requirements, and maturity models. Supports filtering by groups, entities, and teams to find relevant scorecards

Get complete details of a scorecard including its configuration, rules, levels, weights, exemption settings, and evaluation criteria. Essential for understanding how services are evaluated and what standards they must meet

Get actionable next steps for an entity to improve its scorecard performance. Shows which rules need to be satisfied to reach the next maturity level, helping teams prioritize improvements and track progress toward compliance goals

Retrieve scores for all entities evaluated by a specific scorecard. Returns paginated results showing how each service, resource, or domain performs against the scorecard's rules, including individual rule scores and overall scorecard scores

Retrieve detailed information about a specific team by its tag or ID. Returns complete team data including members, slack channels, metadata, and whether it's backed by an identity provider group
