Solana Metrics MCP Server

This MCP server analyzes Solana metrics from InfluxDB and generates Grafana dashboards. It's designed to work with the sol_metrics database and provides intelligent categorization and analysis of blockchain metrics.

Features

• 🔍 Metric Discovery: Lists all available metrics from the sol_metrics InfluxDB database

• 🏷️ Intelligent Categorization: Automatically categorizes metrics into logical groups (Consensus, Network, Banking, Accounts, RPC, Performance, Jito/MEV)

• 📊 Metric Analysis: Provides detailed explanations of what each metric measures and why it's useful

• 📁 Auto-Dashboard Export: Creates and saves importable Grafana dashboard JSON files to grafana/ folder

• 🔎 Code Search: Helps locate metric definitions in the Solana Rust codebase

• 🔄 Dual InfluxDB Support: Compatible with both InfluxDB v1 and v2

• 🛠️ VS Code Integration: Works seamlessly as an MCP server in Visual Studio Code

Installation

Configuration

Set the following environment variables to connect to your InfluxDB instance:

Dashboard Export

When you generate dashboards using the generate_dashboard tool, the server automatically:

1. Saves JSON files to the grafana/ folder in your project directory

2. Creates timestamped backups for version history

3. Provides ready-to-import Grafana dashboard configurations

Generated dashboard files:

• consensus-dashboard.json - Epoch rewards, slot confirmation, validator voting

• network-dashboard.json - Gossip, cluster info, retransmit metrics

• banking-dashboard.json - Transaction processing, prioritization fees

• accounts-dashboard.json - Account database, cache, hashing metrics

• rpc-dashboard.json - RPC service and subscription metrics

• performance-dashboard.json - CPU, memory, disk usage metrics

• jito-mev-dashboard.json - Block engine, bundle processing, MEV relayer metrics

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

Available Tools

1. list_metrics

Lists all available metrics from the sol_metrics database.

2. analyze_metrics

Analyzes and categorizes metrics with detailed explanations.

• Parameters:

  • category (optional): Filter by category (Consensus, Network, Banking, Accounts, RPC, Performance, Jito/MEV, Other, All)

3. generate_dashboard

Generates a Grafana dashboard JSON for selected metrics.

• Parameters:

  • category: Category to generate dashboard for

  • dashboard_name: Name for the generated dashboard

4. search_rust_code

Searches for metric definitions in the Solana Rust codebase.

• Parameters:

  • metric_name: Name of the metric to search for

Metric Categories

The server organizes metrics into the following categories based on Solana's architecture:

• Consensus: Validator voting, slots, epochs, leader schedules

• Network: Cluster topology, gossip, turbine, TPU/TVU, repairs

• Banking: Transaction processing, PoH recording, leader slot utilization

• Accounts: Account database operations, hashing, snapshots

• RPC: API request handling, subscriptions, WebSocket connections

• Performance: System resources, throughput benchmarks

• Jito/MEV: MEV tips, bundle processing, block engine metrics
