FAQs on using Merge's FireHydrant MCP server

What is a FireHydrant MCP?

It's an MCP server that connects your agents to FireHydrant's incident management platform via tools. Your agents can invoke these tools to create and update incidents, trigger runbooks, assign tasks to responders, query service health, and more.

FireHydrant offers an official MCP server, but you can also use one from a third-party platform, like Merge Agent Handler.

How can I use the FireHydrant MCP server?

The use cases naturally depend on the agent you've built, but here are a few common ones:

Alert-to-incident automation: An agent monitors an alerting system like PagerDuty or Datadog and automatically opens a FireHydrant incident when a threshold is crossed, pre-populating severity, affected services, and the initial task list

Slack-driven incident updates: An agent listens for commands in a Slack incident channel and updates the corresponding FireHydrant incident's status, severity, or summary without requiring responders to switch tools

Post-incident report generation: After an incident resolves, an agent pulls the full incident timeline and task history from FireHydrant and drafts a post-mortem summary in Notion or Confluence

On-call coordination: An agent detects a new high-severity incident in FireHydrant, looks up the current on-call schedule, and sends a direct message to the responsible team in Slack or Microsoft Teams

What are popular tools for FireHydrant's MCP server?

Here are some of the most commonly used tools:

create_incident: opens a new FireHydrant incident with specified severity, affected services, and summary. Useful for agents that need to trigger incident response automatically based on signals from an external monitoring system

list_incidents: retrieves active or historical incidents with optional filters for status, severity, or service. Call this when an agent needs to check current incident load before escalating or to build a weekly summary report

resolve_incident: marks an open incident as resolved and records a resolution note. Good for workflows where an agent confirms a fix in a deployment system and then closes the corresponding incident automatically

list_runbooks: fetches the available runbooks in the FireHydrant account. Helpful when an agent needs to identify the right runbook for a given incident type before guiding a responder through next steps

create_incident_task: adds a task to an active incident with an assigned owner and due time. Use this when an agent is coordinating multi-step response actions across different team members

list_services: returns the registered services in FireHydrant, including ownership and environment details. Call this when an agent needs to determine which team owns an affected service during triage

What makes Merge Agent Handler's FireHydrant MCP server better than alternative FireHydrant MCP servers?

Several factors make Merge Agent Handler's FireHydrant MCP server a stronger choice than building your own or using an alternative:

Enterprise-grade security and DLP: Merge Agent Handler includes built-in data loss prevention controls that let you block or redact sensitive fields before they reach an agent. For FireHydrant, this means you can prevent incident descriptions containing customer PII, internal IP details, or severity classifications from being exposed to an agent with broad read access

Managed authentication and credentials: Merge stores and refreshes FireHydrant credentials on your behalf. You never expose raw API keys or OAuth tokens to an agent or manage token rotation manually

Real-time observability and audit trail: Every tool call made against FireHydrant is logged with timestamp, tool name, input parameters, and response metadata. You can audit exactly what an agent read or wrote without instrumenting anything yourself

Tool Packs and controlled access: Tool Packs let you bundle specific FireHydrant tools with tools from other connectors into a single MCP endpoint, scoped to a specific use case. An agent gets exactly the tools it needs, nothing more

How can I start using Merge Agent Handler's FireHydrant MCP server?

You can take the following steps:

1. Create or log into your Merge Agent Handler account.

2. Install the Merge CLI by running pipx install merge-api, then run merge configure to link the CLI to your Merge account and merge login to authenticate your session.

3. Register the Agent Handler MCP server with Claude Code by running claude mcp add --transport http agent-handler https://ah-api.merge.dev/mcp, then open Claude Code and run /mcp to confirm agent-handler appears with a connected status.

4. Select agent-handler from the MCP list. This opens a browser window where you select which integrations to authenticate. Choose FireHydrant and complete the auth flow. Merge stores and manages the credentials going forward.

5. Open a Claude Code session and start querying FireHydrant data directly. The first time you use a FireHydrant tool, a Magic Link may appear to complete connector authentication.

If you want to connect Merge Agent Handler's FireHydrant MCP with internal or customer-facing agentic products, you can follow the steps in our docs.
