Hey everyone,
We're sponsoring Agents Day in Lisbon on May 1st and bringing a $1,000 bounty challenge for developers building AI agents with intelligent incident management.
The Challenge
Build an AI agent that integrates with PagerDuty to enhance your project with intelligent incident management, automated responses, or proactive system monitoring.
We want to see creative integrations that showcase PagerDuty's capabilities – AI agents that monitor, respond to, or prevent incidents, and projects that demonstrate real-world use cases (even if simplified for the hackathon).
Some ideas to get you started:
- A chatbot that queries PagerDuty for incident status and resolves issues via Slack
- A self-healing application that uses PagerDuty to diagnose and fix common problems autonomously
- A tipping agent for open source contributors who resolve incidents detected by PagerDuty
- Agentic alerting that reduces alert fatigue and aligns PagerDuty alerts with data insights from user's wearable devices
PagerDuty MCP Server
The PagerDuty Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is an open standard that enables AI assistants to interact securely with your PagerDuty account. This integration allows AI tools to retrieve incident data, manage services, and update on-call schedules on your behalf.
