Prometheus MCP Server

Give AI assistants the power to query your Prometheus metrics.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to your Prometheus metrics and queries through standardized MCP interfaces, allowing AI assistants to execute PromQL queries and analyze your metrics data.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Prometheus server accessible from your environment
MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Installation Methods

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prometheus": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "PROMETHEUS_URL",
        "ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROMETHEUS_URL": "<your-prometheus-url>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Install via the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add prometheus --env PROMETHEUS_URL=http://your-prometheus:9090 -- docker run -i --rm -e PROMETHEUS_URL ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest

VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings in the respective IDE:

{
  "prometheus": {
    "command": "docker",
    "args": [
      "run",
      "-i",
      "--rm",
      "-e",
      "PROMETHEUS_URL",
      "ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest"
    ],
    "env": {
      "PROMETHEUS_URL": "<your-prometheus-url>"
    }
  }
}
