Remove a host from an Ansible inventory

Works with AI assistants

Use Harness: its Harness Ansible API lets you remove a host from an Ansible inventory in a single step (DELETE /iacm/api/orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/ansible/inventory/{inventory_identifier}/hosts/{host_address}). Harness also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
