What if you could explore your Splunk data just by asking questions in plain English? In this session, Krishnateja Thammireddygari from bitsIO demonstrates a Splunk MCP server connected to Claude Desktop turning Claude into a hands-on Splunk analyst. We'll start with what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and why it matters for Splunk practitioners, then go live against the familiar Splunk Search Tutorial dataset, asking questions in natural language and watching Claude write and run the SPL, explore the data, and summarize the results. You'll leave knowing how to connect Claude to your own Splunk environment and what to watch out for when you do.
