Apica Adds AI Agents and MCP Server to Platform for Managing Telemetry Data
DevOps.com, Tuesday, September 8th, 2026
Apica Ascent 3.0 adds the Venn AI agent and an MCP server for natural-language telemetry pipeline management.
Apica released version 3.0 of its Ascent telemetry data platform, adding a natural-language AI agent called Venn that lets IT teams build and manage data pipelines without scripts.
A new MCP server lets third-party AI tools invoke Ascent and its embedded AI skills within DevOps workflows, and a flow-only mode moves telemetry data 10x faster. Changes that could delete or materially alter configurations require administrator approval.
The article notes Futurum Group forecasts that DevOps tool spending will grow about 14% in 2027 as telemetry volumes rise in the AI era.
