Here is how Fred rebuilds the structure of a workbook deterministically, hands the agent a global map plus queryable tables, and adds a server-side value locator that collapses a dozen blind queries into a single targeted one.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/observability-by-design-in-fred-prometheus-opensearch-and-spot/Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/observability-by-design-in-fred-prometheus-opensearch-and-spot/Fred now treats observability as a first-class platform capability. With Spot, users can discover Prometheus and OpenSearch tools over MCP, ask monitoring questions in natural language, generate exact PromQL, and persist audit reports to MinIO-backed storage.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/integrating-external-a2a-agents-into-freds-backend/Fri, 12 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/integrating-external-a2a-agents-into-freds-backend/Fred now supports A2A agents alongside MCP agents. Developers can deploy standalone, language-agnostic agents and register them in Fred as first-class citizens. A new agentic bridge handles protocol translation, streaming adaptation, UI rendering, and security integration—unlocking industrial-grade agent development.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/bront%C3%AB-a-new-content-generator-agent-in-fred/Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/bront%C3%AB-a-new-content-generator-agent-in-fred/Instead of relying on traditional form-based UIs, Brontë guides users step by step in designing complex templates and prompts, ensuring correct formats and properties, and saving them directly to Fred’s knowledge base using MCP.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/mcp-vs-rest-for-rag-in-fred-why-we-run-both/Sun, 17 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/mcp-vs-rest-for-rag-in-fred-why-we-run-both/Fred uses REST for graph-driven RAG (Rico, Rico Pro) and MCP for tool-driven RAG (Dominic). Running both lets us measure latency, reliability, governance, and developer ergonomics—without changing our UI or schemas.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/power-aware-kubernetes-with-mcp-and-kepler/Mon, 02 Jun 2025 16:30:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/power-aware-kubernetes-with-mcp-and-kepler/Fred can now observe power and energy usage in Kubernetes via MCP and Kepler. This post walks through the setup and shows example visualizations and insights.https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/expanding-fred-with-mcp-a-playground-for-next-gen-agentic-architectures/Mon, 19 May 2025 12:00:00 +0200https://site.fredlab.dev/blog/expanding-fred-with-mcp-a-playground-for-next-gen-agentic-architectures/Fred is now capable of serving and consuming components over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Discover how this unlocks new architectures and makes Fred a live testbed for building interoperable AI agents.
