      "env": {
        "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude code

To enable AppSignal MCP in Claude Code, run the following command:

    "appsignal": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY", "appsignal/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY": "your-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed

{
  "context_servers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY", "appsignal/mcp"],
      "env": {

      }
    }
}

VSCode

If you are running GitHub Copilot, and are signed in under a company account, make sure to set "MCP servers in Copilot" to "Enabled" under your organization settings > Copilot > Policies.

GitHub Copilot Settings

Then add this config to your .vscode/mcp.json settings:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "appsignal_mcp_token",
      "description": "AppSignal MCP Token",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "command":  "docker"
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY",
        "appsignal/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPSIGNAL_API_KEY": "${input:appsignal_mcp_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}
