This topic describes how to interact with the Megaport MCP Server, including practical query examples and their corresponding responses.

## Sample questions and responses

The Megaport MCP Server is currently in read-only beta. You can securely use natural language to query your Megaport services across various categories.

For example:

* Locations
* Information on clouds and partners
* Your service connections
* Your service pricing and billing information
* Service discovery and health status of your services
* Network diagnostics
* Monitoring telemetry and performance

The AI assistant automatically selects the most relevant tools based on the context of your query. Below are several sample questions and responses from the Megaport MCP Server.
