README

kibana-mcp

MCP server for Kibana / Elasticsearch — log search, aggregations, index discovery, and dashboard browsing via Claude and any MCP-compatible agent.

Why another Kibana MCP?

Existing integrations require a running Kibana instance with browser-level credentials and often wrap the Kibana UI rather than the stable REST APIs. This server:

Hits Elasticsearch REST API directly for log queries (faster, stable across Kibana UI changes)
Falls back to the Kibana Console proxy when no direct ES URL is configured (zero extra firewall rules)
Supports ApiKey auth (best for agents) as well as Basic auth and anonymous access
Returns both structured JSON (outputSchema) and markdown text so it works with any MCP client
Is read-only — all tools carry readOnlyHint: true, no data is modified

Tools

Tool	API	Description
`kibana_list_indices`	`GET ES/_cat/indices`	Discover available indices with health, docs, size
`kibana_search_logs`	`POST ES/{index}/_search`	Full-text log search with time range, sort, size
`kibana_aggregate_logs`	`POST ES/{index}/_search`	Terms grouping with count/avg/sum/min/max metric
`kibana_list_dashboards`	`GET Kibana/api/saved_objects/_find`	List saved dashboards with search + pagination
`kibana_get_dashboard`	`GET Kibana/api/saved_objects/dashboard/{id}`	Fetch one dashboard with panel breakdown

Installation

pip install kibana-mcp

Or run directly with uvx:

uvx kibana-mcp

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`KIBANA_URL`	Yes	Kibana base URL (e.g. `https://kibana.example.com`)
`ELASTICSEARCH_URL`	No	Direct ES endpoint. If unset, ES requests go through Kibana Console proxy
`KIBANA_API_KEY`	No	ES API key (`ApiKey base64(id:api_key)` format). Recommended for agents
`KIBANA_USERNAME`	No	HTTP Basic auth username (used if API key not set)
`KIBANA_PASSWORD`	No	HTTP Basic auth password
`KIBANA_SSL_VERIFY`	No	`true` (default) or `false` for self-signed certificates

Auth priority: ApiKey > Basic > anonymous.

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your values.

MCP Client Configuration (Claude Desktop / claude.app)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kibana": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["kibana-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KIBANA_URL": "https://kibana.example.com",
        "KIBANA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or with direct ES access for better performance:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kibana": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["kibana-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KIBANA_URL": "https://kibana.example.com",
        "ELASTICSEARCH_URL": "https://es.example.com:9200",
        "KIBANA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker run --rm -i \
  -e KIBANA_URL=https://kibana.example.com \
  -e KIBANA_API_KEY=your-key \
  ghcr.io/mshegolev/kibana-mcp

Usage Examples

Log Search

Find the last 50 ERROR logs from the API service in the last hour

→ kibana_search_logs(index="logs-*", query="level:ERROR AND service:api", size=50, time_from="2026-04-18T09:00:00Z")

Show 500 HTTP errors sorted oldest first for incident replay

→ kibana_search_logs(index="nginx-*", query="status:500", sort_order="asc", size=100)
