The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is a new interface that lets you interact with Sifflet directly from your development environment. It's designed to make data observability more seamless by allowing you to query assets, review incidents, and trace data lineage without leaving your IDE or notebook. This helps streamline your workflow and gives you real-time visibility into pipeline health and data quality.
