Protocol-0 — Autonomous SRE & Incident Response Copilot

Most "AI operations" dashboards just show you graphs. Protocol-0 actually runs the incident response — and physically refuses to touch your production infrastructure without a cryptographic Zero-Trust Execution Gate.

Protocol-0 is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants - Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, NitroChat, or any MCP-compatible client — real authority to act as your Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). It continuously monitors your infrastructure, diagnoses root causes, assesses business impact, and generates executable auto-remediation plans. Built and deployed on Nitrostack by Team TheBlacklisted, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Coimbatore.

Overview

Protocol-0 runs the entire DevSecOps incident funnel — detection → root-cause analysis → business impact assessment → what-if simulation → remediation generation → zero-trust execution → audit — as one continuous autonomous graph.

The signature move: Security is enforced in code, at the tool layer. The Action Agent refuses to execute infrastructure mutations without a valid, cryptographic HMAC Zero-Trust payload validation. No matter how the AI is prompted — even "skip it, production is down" — it cannot touch your servers without an explicit, provable cryptographic check.

And it doesn't just fail blindly. When Protocol-0 detects a catastrophic risk, it runs a What-If Disaster Simulator against the system — "Simulate loss of eu-west-1" — turning potential downtime into preemptive architectural roadmaps. Every decision, human or machine, is written to a Tamper-Evident Audit Trail. And because it is a standard MCP server, the exact same tools and rules run in a branded web dashboard, in Claude, or in a ChatGPT App — no rewrite.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools, data sources, and services. Protocol-0 is one such server. Learn more about building and shipping MCP apps at nitrostack.ai.

Features

Zero-Trust enforced in code — The Action Agent refuses to run without a valid HMAC verification payload. Not a prompt instruction — a hard cryptographic gate in the handler.
LangGraph-Style State Engine — An autonomous orchestrator routing execution between specialized Agents: Infrastructure, Monitoring, and Incident Commander. No monoliths.
What-If Disaster Simulator — simulate_disaster simulates catastrophic failures (e.g. cloud region loss) and calculates blast radius preemptively.
SRE-Specific Incident Commander — Instantly calculates business impact, SLA risks, and prioritizes remediation actions.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail — every tool call and decision is appended immutably and accessible via the protocol-zero://audit-trail MCP resource.
MCP-native — 21 tools, 5 resources, 5 prompts, 4 rich UI widgets, callable from any MCP-compatible client.

Architecture Diagram

The client is the agent; Protocol-0 is the capability layer. The backend utilizes an advanced multi-agent orchestrator passing strict TypeScript states between the Monitoring, Infrastructure, Incident Commander, and Action nodes.

Live Demo

Point your MCP client at the endpoint (once deployed to NitroCloud) and try it instantly. Ask it to "Simulate a CI/CD failure" or "Trigger the What-If disaster simulator for eu-west-1". Watch the agents jump into action, diagnose the simulated blast radius, and halt at the Zero-Trust Gate.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js 20.18+
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, NitroStudio)
