AI agents are only as powerful as the tools, data, and systems they can access.
The next phase of AI apps is not just about better models. It is about connecting models to real-time information, private data, and the tools required to take action.
That is why I’m excited that Server-Side Tools are now in Public Preview for @DigitalOcean Inference Engine.
With a single inference request, developers can now access:
• Web Search
• Web Fetch
• DigitalOcean Knowledge Bases
• MCP servers
• Supported Anthropic and OpenAI tools
No separate tool stack to assemble.
No new credentials to manage.
No extra orchestration layer to run.
For builders working on agents, coding assistants, support workflows, research tools, and AI-native applications, this removes a lot of undifferentiated complexity. Our goal is simple: make production AI infrastructure powerful, open, and easy for developers to use.
