<p>A Rust-native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for infrastructure automation and AI-assisted DevOps operations.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Source</strong>: <code>provisioning/platform/mcp-server/</code>
<strong>Status</strong>: Proof of Concept Complete</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="overview"><a class="header" href="#overview">Overview</a></h2>
<p>Replaces the Python implementation with significant performance improvements while maintaining philosophical consistency with the Rust ecosystem approach.</p>

<pre><code>🚀 Rust MCP Server Performance Analysis
==================================================
📋 Server Parsing Performance:
• Sub-millisecond latency across all operations
• 0μs average for configuration access
🤖 AI Status Performance:
• AI Status: 0μs avg (10000 iterations)
💾 Memory Footprint:
• ServerConfig size: 80 bytes
• Config size: 272 bytes
✅ Performance Summary:
• Server parsing: Sub-millisecond latency
• Configuration access: Microsecond latency
• Memory efficient: Small struct footprint
• Zero-copy string operations where possible
