MCP support
The MCP server uses three discovery tools to list, describe, and call Hitachi VSP 360 API operations; configured toolsets can add direct tools for selected operations. By default, it permits GET requests and a small set of query or validation POST operations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
