> [!NOTE]
> This repository provides the core infrastructure for the ACI.dev platform.  If you are specifically looking for the **Unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** built using ACI.dev, please see the [aci-mcp](https://github.com/aipotheosis-labs/aci-mcp) repository.

ACI.dev is an open-source infrastructure layer designed to streamline AI-agent tool use and VibeOps. It empowers AI agents with intent-aware access to a wide range of tools (600+), offering multi-tenant authentication, granular permissions, and dynamic tool discovery.  This access is exposed through either direct function calls or, more centrally, through a **Unified Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server**.

**Focus on MCP:** The Unified MCP server is a key component of ACI.dev, providing a standardized interface for AI agents to interact with various tools and services. It simplifies integration, enhances security, and improves the overall efficiency of AI-powered workflows.

**Example:** Instead of implementing individual OAuth flows and API clients for services like Google Calendar or Slack, ACI.dev allows you to manage authentication centrally and provide AI agents with unified, secure function calls through the MCP server.  You can access these capabilities either via the **Unified** [MCP server](https://github.com/aipotheosis-labs/aci-mcp) or using our lightweight [Python SDK](https://github.com/aipotheosis-labs/aci-python-sdk), which is compatible with any LLM framework.

Supercharge your development workflow by automating DevOps tasks through our unified MCP server (VibeOps), or build production-ready AI agents without the complexities of managing underlying infrastructure.
