Update a host in an Ansible inventory

Update a host in an Ansible inventory

Works with AI assistants

Use Harness: its Harness Ansible API lets you update a host in an Ansible inventory in a single step (PUT /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.

• Can I move an inventory host into different groups?
• How do I change the vars set on one host in an inventory?

Say it to your AI assistant

• Put host {host_address} in inventory {inventory} into groups {groups} in {org}/{project}.
• Change the vars of host {host_address} in inventory {inventory} to {vars} in {org}/{project}.

For your developer

PUT /iacm/api/orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/ansible/inventory/{inventory_identifier}/hosts/{host_address} in Harness Ansible API. Full spec on APIs.io.
