# OpenTelemetry Collector MCP Server
An MCP server implementation for configuring OpenTelemetry Collectors.
## Features
- **Dynamic OpenTelemetry Configuration**: Configure OpenTelemetry Collectors through MCP tools
- **Component Management**: Add, remove, and configure receivers, processors, and exporters
## Tools
- **Update Resources**
- Updates local resource files with the latest component information from GitHub
- No input parameters required
- Returns statistics about updated components (receivers, processors, exporters)
## Resources
- **Receivers** (`receivers://receivers`)
- Lists all available OpenTelemetry receivers
- Returns receiver metadata including name, description, and stability
- **Processors** (`processors://processors`)
- Lists all available OpenTelemetry processors
- Returns processor metadata including name, description, and stability
- **Exporters** (`exporters://exporters`)
- Lists all available OpenTelemetry exporters
- Returns exporter metadata including name, description, and stability
- **Component Schemas** (`component://{type}/{name}`)
- Retrieves configuration schema for specific components
- Supports listing all available schemas or getting a specific component's schema
- Parameters:
- `type`: Component type ("receiver", "processor", or "exporter")
- `name`: Name of the specific component (optional)
## Configuration
