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.

![demo-agent](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/3/31b87d470ef66f104314a0d6fe8fa1e76aae63e7.gif)

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](https://github.com/msradam/rocannon)  
Install: `pip install rocannon`

I’ve made good use of this in my day-to-day, definitely interested in feedback.
