Get a first look at what’s coming next to the MetricFire MCP Server: AI-powered dashboard creation and management. We’re connecting the Hosted Graphite HTTP Dashboard API to our MCP Server, letting compatible AI clients work with your monitoring data and Grafana dashboards directly through an AI-assisted workflow. Soon, you’ll be able to use natural language prompts to reference metrics stored in Hosted Graphite and create, update, and manage dashboards.

AI agents can write code and run tools on their own now. The problem is they still need somewhere to actually do it. exe.dev's David Crawshaw joins Michael Reid to break down why persistent virtual machines might become the backbone of agentic AI, and what happens to cloud economics when one person is running dozens of agents at once.

This video covers why "are we safe?" isn't a question you get to answer once: That last drill is what separates teams that panic when a real incident hits from teams that already know the answer.
