Task Force IT-Consulting Brings AI Agents to IBM i Development

Dortmund – November 09, 2026 -- Task Force IT-Consulting GmbH has released CMOne Agentic, an extension of its CMOne change-management system that lets AI agents develop, compile and unit-test changes to legacy IBM i applications. The product has been available since the fourth quarter of 2026 and is already in production use at fashion company LERROS.

CMOne MCP server gives AI agents application context without system access

The technical core is the CMOne MCP server, built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for giving AI systems access to information and tools. Through it, agents see the links between programs, their dependencies, the commands needed to edit them, and ongoing tasks, projects and changes already in quality assurance. The agents never access the IBM i system directly. All sources, information and commands pass through the MCP server.
