Hi all, I’d like to share my project Rocannon, which generates MCP tools from Ansible modules and roles with ansible doc. I wanted to drive Ansible conversationally from Claude Code for ad-hoc ops work without writing glue code.
It reads ansible-doc at startup and registers each module as a typed MCP tool. Whatever you have installed shows up automatically, one collection or a hundred, and any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, your own agent) can call them. So you can drive your real environment in plain English.
Roles work the same way. A role with an argument spec (meta/argument_specs.yml) becomes a typed tool too, its arguments as the parameters, so you can run a whole role and not just single modules. Modules and roles sit side by side in a profile.
There’s a recording feature, so a conversational ops session can become a real, deterministic Ansible playbook you can hand off.
Repo: GitHub - msradam/rocannon: An MCP server generator for Ansible. Reflects every installed module from ansible-doc into typed, LLM-callable MCP tools. · GitHub
Install: pip install rocannon
I’ve made good use of this in my day-to-day, definitely interested in feedback.
