# mcp-server-prometheus
MCP server for interacting with Prometheus metrics and data.
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a Prometheus API interface. It provides a bridge between Claude and your Prometheus server through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

## Demo

## Features
### Resources
- List and access Prometheus metric schema
- Each metric resource provides:
- Metric name and description
- Detailed metadata from Prometheus
- Statistical information (count, min, max)
- JSON mime type for structured data access
### Current Capabilities
- List all available Prometheus metrics with descriptions
- Read detailed metric information including:
- Metadata and help text
- Current statistical data (count, min, max values)
- Basic authentication support for secured Prometheus instances
## Configuration
The server requires the following environment variable:
- `PROMETHEUS_URL`: The base URL of your Prometheus instance
Optional authentication configuration:
- `PROMETHEUS_USERNAME`: Username for basic auth (if required)
- `PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD`: Password for basic auth (if required)
## Development
Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
For development with auto-rebuild:
```bash
npm run watch
```
## Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-prometheus": {
"command": "/path/to/mcp-server-prometheus/build/index.js",
"env": {
"PROMETHEUS_URL": "http://your-prometheus-instance:9090"
}
}
}
}
```
### Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector):
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
## API Structure
The server exposes Prometheus metrics through the following URI structure:
- Base URI: `http://your-prometheus-instance:9090`
- Metric URIs: `http://your-prometheus-instance:9090/metrics/{metric_name}`
Each metric resource returns JSON data containing:
- Metric name
- Metadata (help text, type)
- Current statistics (count, min, max)
