Prometheus MCP Server

About

This is an MCP server to allow LLMs to interact with a running Prometheus instance via the API to do things like generate and execute promql queries, list and analyze metrics, etc.

Demos and Examples

Asking Claude to Investigate Slow Queries

The prompt used was:

querying my metrics is slow, can you help me figure out why?

Investigate metrics produced by the MCP server itself and suggest recording rules for SLOs

The prompt used was:

use the tools from the prometheus mcp server to investigate the metrics from the mcp server and suggest prometheus recording rules for SLOs

Summarize Prometheus metric/label naming best practices

The prompt used was:

summarize prometheus metric/label name best practices

Report on the health of the Prometheus instance that powers prometheus.demo.prometheus.io

The prompt used was:

please provide a comprehensive review and summary of the prometheus server. review it's configuration, flags, runtime/build info, and anything else that you feel may provide insight into the status of the prometheus instance, including analyzing metrics and executing queries

Tools

The Prometheus HTTP API outputs JSON data, and the tools in this MCP server return that JSON to the LLM for processing as it's structured and well understood by LLMs.

LLMs and Token/Context Efficiency

This MCP server supports the following options which have the potential to reduce token/context usage:

TOON Encoding

If token/context usage is a concern, this MCP server also supports converting the API's JSON data to the Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) format. While it is not guaranteed to reduce token usage, it is designed with token efficiency in mind. As noted on TOON's documentation, it excels at uniform arrays of objects; non-uniform/complex objects may still be more token-efficient in JSON. Real world token usage will depend on usage patterns, please review common workflows to determine if TOON output may be beneficial. Please see Flags for more information on the available flags and their corresponding environment variables.

API Response Truncation

This feature allows you to set a maximum limit on the number of lines or entries returned from the Prometheus API for, which can
