SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates that the Ansible MCP server configuration is present and accessible before playbook execution. This prevents misconfigurations from blocking deployments during testing and mock workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Pre-flight MCP configuration check: Verifies that the MCP server is defined in .mcp.json and that required fields exist.
Connectivity readiness: Attempts a health check against the mock MCP server to confirm availability and expected responsiveness.
Guardrails for workflows: Provides guidance when config or connectivity is missing, enabling safe, mock-mode operation.

Quick Start

Provide the rh-sre/.mcp.json configuration to start the pre-flight validation.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify my MCP server configuration before running an Ansible playbook?▼

Pre-flight MCP validation verifies that the ansible-mcp-server entry exists in your .mcp.json configuration and runs a health check against the mock MCP server to confirm connectivity readiness before playbook execution.

Why does my Ansible playbook fail during mock testing?▼

Ansible playbook mock testing fails when the ansible-mcp-server configuration is missing from .mcp.json or the mock MCP server is unreachable. Pre-flight validation detects these configuration and connectivity issues before execution.

What is pre-flight validation for an Ansible MCP server?▼

Pre-flight MCP validation is a readiness check that confirms the ansible-mcp-server is defined in .mcp.json and verifies mock MCP server connectivity, enabling safe mock-mode playbook operations without deployment blockers.

Do I need a mock MCP server to validate Ansible playbook readiness?▼

Yes, pre-flight MCP validation requires a mock MCP server implementation to perform health checks against. This confirms server availability and responsiveness before attempting Ansible playbook operations.

Can I check if the rh-sre pack MCP server is configured correctly?▼

Yes, pre-flight validation targets the rh-sre pack and checks the .mcp.json file for the ansible-mcp-server entry, verifying that all required configuration fields exist before attempting mock testing workflows.
