Create an incident
Create a new incident
LABSCO SUMMARY
Deliberately narrow: this is the incident record and its retrospective, not a console over the whole product.
The retrospective tools are what make it worth connecting — list-retros-by-incident returns a retrospective's fields and update-retrospective-field writes one back, so a write-up drafted in conversation lands in the record instead of being retyped into it. That write takes unstyled HTML, which is the detail to settle before anything automated goes near it. Every tool takes a single request parameter, so what a call can filter, page or set is governed by the FireHydrant API shape rather than by anything the tool signature reveals.
What it is
A FireHydrant client covering the incident record and its retrospective: listing and creating incidents, listing alerts including Signals and third-party alerts, and reading and updating retrospective fields.
What you get
- list-incidents returns the incidents in the organization, and create-incident opens a new one.
- list-alerts retrieves alerts, including Signals alerts and alerts from third-party sources.
- list-retros-by-incident returns the retrospectives (RCAs) attached to an incident, along with their basic data and their fields.
- update-retrospective-field writes a value into a named retrospective field, with the value supplied as unstyled HTML.
Requirements
A FireHydrant API key, supplied with --api-key when the server starts.
Setup effort
One command — npx firehydrant-mcp start --api-key ...
USE CASES
01
Declaring an incident while you are still reading the alert
Check what has fired, then open the incident record without switching tools.
02
Filling in a retrospective from the conversation that produced it
Fetch the retrospective's fields for the incident, then write the drafted text straight into the one it belongs in.
03
Checking what is already open before declaring something new
Read the current incidents and the alerts behind them so a duplicate record does not get raised.
