About

Connect Tracecat to Ansible Automation Platform to launch jobs and query inventories for platform engineers and SOC remediation agents. You can launch a hardening playbook the moment a vulnerability scan finds a critical CVE and watch the job through to completion. From there, query inventories, inspect Event-Driven Ansible activations, and post job stdout into the incident ticket with full audit attribution.

Setup

  1. 1

    Create a bearer token

    The Ansible Automation Platform MCP server authenticates with a bearer OAuth2 token issued by AAP. The token inherits the team and organization permissions of the user that created it, so create it as a service user with least privilege.

  2. 2

    Select the Ansible tile in the Tracecat MCP catalog

    Open the MCP catalog in your workspace, select the Ansible tile, and paste your bearer token.

  3. 3

    Enable Ansible in your agent

    In your ai.agent action or Agents → tools tab, select Ansible from the MCP integrations dropdown.
