Description
Explore multi-agent architecture as a way to avoid MCP context rot.
Having one agent with many tools bloats the context with low-level details about tool descriptions, parameter schemas etc which hurts LLM performance. Instead have many specialised agents, each with just the tools it needs for its role. A top level supervisor agent takes the user prompt and delegates to appropriate sub-agents.
Goals
Create some sub-agents that are specialists at troubleshooting Linux subsystems, e.g. systemd, selinux, firewalld etc. The agents can get information from the system by implementing their own tools with simple function calls, or use tools from MCP servers, e.g. a systemd-agent can use tools from systemd-mcp.
Example prompts/responses:
user$ the system seems slow
assistant$ process foo with pid 12345 is using 1000% cpu ...
user$ I can't connect to the apache webserver
assistant$ the firewall is blocking http ... you can open the port with firewall-cmd --add-port ...
Resources
Language TBD - golang or python. Python ADK seems more mature, but golang is easier to package.

SUSE Observability MCP server by drutigliano
Description
The idea is to implement the SUSE Observability Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server as a specialized, middle-tier API designed to translate the complex, high-cardinality observability data from StackState (topology, metrics, and events) into highly structured, contextually rich, and LLM-ready snippets.
This MCP Server abstract the StackState APIs. Its primary function is to serve as a Tool/Function Calling target for AI agents. When an AI receives an alert or a user query (e.g., "What caused the outage?"), the AI calls an MCP Server endpoint. The server then fetches the relevant operational facts, summarizes them, normalizes technical identifiers (like URNs and raw metric names) into natural language concepts, and returns a concise JSON or YAML payload. This payload is then injected directly into the LLM's prompt, ensuring the final diagnosis or action is grounded in real-time, accurate SUSE Observability data, effectively minimizing hallucinations.
Goals
- Grounding AI Responses: Ensure that all AI diagnoses, root cause analyses, and action recommendations are strictly based on verifiable, real-time data retrieved from the SUSE Observability StackState platform.
- Simplifying Data Access: Abstract the complexity of StackState's native APIs (e.g., Time Travel, 4T Data Model) into simple, semantic functions that can be easily invoked by LLM tool-calling mechanisms.
- Data Normalization: Convert complex, technical identifiers (like component URNs, raw metric names, and proprietary health states) into standardized, natural language terms that an LLM can easily reason over.
- Enabling Automated Remediation: Define clear, action-oriented MCP endpoints (e.g., execute_runbook) that allow the AI agent to initiate automated operational workflows (e.g., restarts, scaling) after a diagnosis, closing the loop on observability.
Hackweek STEP
- Create a functional MCP endpoint exposing one (or more) tool(s) to answer queries like "What is the health of service X?") by fetching, normalizing, and returning live StackState data in an LLM-ready format.
Scope
- Implement read-only MCP server that can:
- Connect to a live SUSE Observability instance and authenticate (with API token)
- Use tools to fetch data for a specific component URN (e.g., current health state, metrics, possibly topology neighbors, ...).
- Normalize response fields (e.g., URN to "Service Name," health state DEVIATING to "Unhealthy", raw metrics).
- Return the data as a structured JSON payload compliant with the MCP specification.
Deliverables
- MCP Server v0.1 A running Python web server (e.g., using FastAPI) with at least one tool.
- A README.md and a test script (e.g., curl commands or a simple notebook) showing how an AI agent would call the endpoint and the resulting JSON payload.
Outcome A functional and testable API endpoint that proves the core concept: translating complex StackState data into a simple, LLM-ready format. This provides the foundation for developing AI-driven diagnostics and automated remediation.

AI-Powered Unit Test Automation for Agama by joseivanlopez
The Agama project is a multi-language Linux installer that leverages the distinct strengths of several key technologies:
- Rust: Used for the back-end services and the core HTTP API, providing performance and safety.
- TypeScript (React/PatternFly): Powers the modern web user interface (UI), ensuring a consistent and responsive user experience.
- Ruby: Integrates existing, robust YaST libraries (e.g.,
yast-storage-ng) to reuse established functionality.
The Problem: Testing Overhead
Developing and maintaining code across these three languages requires a significant, tedious effort in writing, reviewing, and updating unit tests for each component. This high cost of testing is a drain on developer resources and can slow down the project's evolution.
The Solution: AI-Driven Automation
This project aims to eliminate the manual overhead of unit testing by exploring and integrating AI-driven code generation tools. We will investigate how AI can:
- Automatically generate new unit tests as code is developed.
- Intelligently correct and update existing unit tests when the application code changes.
By automating this crucial but monotonous task, we can free developers to focus on feature implementation and significantly improve the speed and maintainability of the Agama codebase.
Goals
- Proof of Concept: Successfully integrate and demonstrate an authorized AI tool (e.g.,
gemini-cli) to automatically generate unit tests. - Workflow Integration: Define and document a new unit test automation workflow that seamlessly integrates the selected AI tool into the existing Agama development pipeline.
- Knowledge Sharing: Establish a set of best practices for using AI in code generation, sharing the learned expertise with the broader team.
Contribution & Resources
We are seeking contributors interested in AI-powered development and improving developer efficiency. Whether you have previous experience with code generation tools or are eager to learn, your participation is highly valuable.
If you want to dive deep into AI for software quality, please reach out and join the effort!
- Authorized AI Tools: Tools supported by SUSE (e.g.,
gemini-cli) - Focus Areas: Rust, TypeScript, and Ruby components within the Agama project.

Gemini-Powered Socratic Bug Evaluation and Management Assistant by rtsvetkov
Description
To build a tool or system that takes a raw bug report (including error messages and context) and uses a large language model (LLM) to generate a series of structured, Socratic-style questions designed to guide a the integration and development toward the root cause, rather than just providing a direct, potentially incorrect fix.
Goals
Set up a Python environment
Set the environment and get a Gemini API key. 2. Collect 5-10 realistic bug reports (from open-source projects, personal projects, or public forums like Stack Overflow—include the error message and the initial context).
Build the Dialogue Loop
- Write a basic Python script using the Gemini API.
- Implement a simple conversational loop: User Input (Bug) -> AI Output (Question) -> User Input (Answer to AI's question) -> AI Output (Next Question). Code Implementation
Socratic Strategy Implementation
- Refine the logic to ensure the questions follow a Socratic path (e.g., from symptom-> context -> assumptions -> root cause).
- Implement Function Calling (an advanced feature of the Gemini API) to suggest specific actions to the user, like "Run a ping test" or "Check the database logs."

MCP Server for SCC by digitaltomm
Description
Provide an MCP Server implementation for customers to access data on scc.suse.com via MCP protocol. Similar to the organization APIs, this can expose to customers data about their subscriptions, orders, systems and products. Authentication should be done by organization credentials, similar to what needs to be provided to RMT/MLM. Customers can connect to the SCC MCP server from their own MCP-compatible client and Large Language Model (LLM), so no third party is involved.
Goals
We want to demonstrate a proof of concept to connect to the SCC MCP server with any AI agent, like gemini-cli, copilot or Claude desktop. Enabling the user to ask questions regarding their SCC inventory, like "When do I need to re-new my SLES subscription", "Do I have active systems running on unsupported operating systems?".
Milestones
[ ] Basic MCP API setup [ ] MCP endpoints [ ] Products / Repositories [ ] Subscriptions / Orders [ ] Systems [ ] Document usage with VSCode Copilot, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI
