traceorb-mcp

MCP server for Traceorb. Any MCP client can query your org's telemetry through the same GETs the panel uses.

Install

Node.js ≥ 22 and npx on PATH. Create a read key in Traceorb Settings. The secret is shown once. Do not commit it.

npx -y traceorb-mcp

The process speaks MCP over stdio. It does not start unless TRACEORB_READ_KEY is set.

Related MCP server: openobserve-community-mcp

Environment

Configure

Point the client at this stdio server:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "traceorb-mcp"],
  "env": {
    "TRACEORB_READ_KEY": "<token>",
    "TRACEORB_API_URL": "https://api.traceorb.com"
  }
}

Where that JSON lives depends on the client.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this repo):

  "mcpServers": {
    "traceorb": {
      "command": "npx",

      }
    }
  }
}
