Enables deployment of the Cortex MCP server as a containerized application, allowing for consistent installation across different environments.
Hosts the Cortex MCP server container image in the GitHub Container Registry, providing version control and issue tracking for support.
Supports integration with the Warp terminal, allowing users to configure and use the Cortex MCP server directly within the terminal environment.
Cortex MCP Overview
Note
Research Preview
Not seeing the results you expect? This is an early version of the Cortex MCP. Please send feedback and bug reports to Cortex Customer Engineering.
Cortex MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides access to the Cortex API. It uses relevant context from your workspace, ensuring awareness of your system's structure when answering your questions.
You can query information in natural language, powering faster decisions and efficient processes. For example:
- Who is the right person to handle an incident with backend-server?
- Show me the services that belong to the platform engineering team
- We're having an incident with backend-server, give me a summary of information to help handle the incident
Requirements
Before getting started, you'll need:
- MCP Client: Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible client
- Cortex Personal Access Token: Create a token in your Cortex workspace settings.
Installation
Note
Docker Required
Make sure Docker is installed and running on your system before proceeding with the installation.
Then configure your MCP client. We've tested this with Claude Desktop, and Cursor, but it should work with any MCP-compatible client.:
Claude Desktop
Claude Code
Use the following command to add Cortex MCP to Claude Code:
If successful, you should see: "Added stdio MCP server cortex to local config"
