Astra Group has released the Astra Automation 2.1-upd1 platform update. The new version introduces an MCP server, which enables corporate AI agents to execute IT infrastructure automation scripts.

The platform functions as a secure intermediary between AI systems and IT infrastructure. Instead of granting AI direct access to systems, the platform manages operations through verified scripts, ensuring oversight.

According to Kirill Dobrynin, Director of the Automation Department at Astra Group, this approach allows companies to delegate automation tasks to AI while maintaining strict control over infrastructure changes.
