Digital Realty launches ServiceFabric MCP for AI agents
Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) launched ServiceFabric® Model Context Protocol (MCP) on September 15, 2026, in Austin, Texas, making programmable controls for its global interconnection platform available to AI agents and enterprise infrastructure operators. The company said the system is available immediately across more than 800 Digital Realty and third-party data centers.
Four Core Capabilities for AI Infrastructure
ServiceFabric MCP delivers four capability areas designed to enable agents to operate and manage AI infrastructure autonomously. The first is connectivity design, provisioning, and API access, allowing agents to configure network paths and request resources programmatically. The second is capacity, topology, inventory, and network-telemetry discovery—agents can query real-time data about available resources and network conditions across the interconnection platform.
The third capability is identity and access controls using OAuth 2, providing authentication and authorization frameworks so agents can operate with granular permission boundaries. The fourth is agent-assisted diagnostics and troubleshooting, with integration hooks for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Splunk, and Datadog, enabling agents to surface alerts and coordinate incident response through existing enterprise tools.
Built on AIPx Architecture
Digital Realty said ServiceFabric MCP is built on its AI Private Exchange (AIPx) architecture, which includes patented policy and orchestration technology. The company positioned the system as infrastructure-native, meaning agents interacting with the platform operate against live data centers and real network topologies—not simulations.
The launch targets enterprises deploying private AI models and agentic workloads that require direct control over interconnection services, network routing, and resource allocation. By exposing these operations through MCP—the Model Context Protocol developed as an open standard for agent integration—Digital Realty is enabling third-party agents and developer-built automation to provision and troubleshoot infrastructure without human intermediaries.
Market Timing
The timing reflects growing demand for agent-native infrastructure. As enterprises move private AI deployments into production, they need programmable interfaces that allow agents to manage capacity, respond to failures, and optimize network utilization in real time. Digital Realty's 800-data-center footprint and existing interconnection customer base give ServiceFabric MCP immediate scale across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.
The launch is concrete and shipping: customers can begin integrating ServiceFabric MCP today through Digital Realty's API, with MCP-compatible agents able to query, diagnose, and manage infrastructure resources at the platform level.
