tool orchestration

Discover how MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you grant AI assistants precise, auditable powers on Linux by exposing only safe tools over JSON-RPC. The tutorial builds a tiny Python server with system_info and grep_logs, provides cross-distro setup and CLI tests, and explains hardening with allowlists, least privilege, and output limits. It ends with patterns to extend into log triage, health probes, Git, SQL analytics, and ChatOps.
