+
+The [AI Infrastructure MCP Server](./tools/ai-infrastructure-mcp/README.md) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for managing and monitoring Slurm-based HPC clusters. It enables AI assistants like GitHub Copilot to interact with cluster infrastructure through a standardized protocol, offering capabilities such as:
+
+- **Slurm job management** - Query job status, accounting data, and cluster information
+- **System monitoring** - Check systemd services and logs across cluster nodes
+- **File operations** - Read and search files on the cluster
+- **Azure VM metadata** - Retrieve physical hostnames and VMSS information
+
+Currently targeting Slurm clusters with SSH-based connectivity. See the [full documentation](./tools/ai-infrastructure-mcp/README.md) for setup and usage details.
