AI-driven operations are only as effective as the data they can access.<\/p>\n

To bring authoritative DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (together known as DDI) context into Cisco\u2019s agentic network operations environment, BlueCat is now integrated with Cisco Cloud Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BlueCat provides Cisco Cloud Control with trusted infrastructure intelligence that AI agents can use during investigation, troubleshooting, and remediation workflows. The result is better operational context, faster root cause analysis, and more informed decision-making across networking, security, observability, compute, and collaboration domains.<\/p>\n

In this post, we first explore how BlueCat\u2019s integration with Cisco Cloud Control works. Next, we highlight why DDI data matters for AI-based network operations. Finally, we examine how BlueCat improves AI-driven investigations and highlight its role in the future of agentic operations.<\/p>\n

What is the BlueCat integration with Cisco Cloud Control?<\/h2>\n

Cisco selected BlueCat as one of its ecosystem integration partners supporting Cisco Cloud Control through Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. BlueCat MCP servers expose authoritative DDI data, enabling AI-driven workflows to access trusted network infrastructure information during operational investigations.<\/p>\n

Cisco Cloud Control<\/a> serves as Cisco\u2019s unified platform for IT operations. Within the platform, Cisco AI Canvas<\/a> provides a collaborative workspace where IT teams and AI agents investigate, correlate, and resolve issues across operational domains. Cisco partner integrations extend the platform by making additional data sources and capabilities available to those workflows.<\/p>\n

BlueCat\u2019s role is straightforward: We provide authoritative infrastructure context that helps AI systems understand how networks are configured, connected, named, addressed, and governed.<\/p>\n

The initial integration includes BlueCat Integrity<\/a> and BlueCat Edge<\/a>, but the scope of integrations may evolve as the ecosystem expands.<\/p>\n

Why DDI data matters for AI-based network operations<\/h2>\n

Every network investigation eventually comes back to infrastructure.<\/p>\n

When an application slows down, a service becomes unavailable, or a security event occurs, teams need accurate information about IP assignments; intent and role data for IP addresses, DHCP, DNS records; connectivity relationships; and infrastructure policies to quickly contextualize the event. This is especially true if the devices are unauthenticated and lack user information.<\/p>\n

Without that context, AI systems will reason on incomplete information.<\/p>\n

BlueCat helps close that gap by providing authoritative DDI data that AI agents can use in operational investigations. Cisco\u2019s guidance for ecosystem integrations emphasizes that AI agents deliver better outcomes when they can reason on trusted, domain-specific data sources. For network operations, DDI data is often a key source of truth.<\/p>\n

In practical terms, that means:<\/p>\n
