The Opik MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that provides a unified interface for managing Opik resources through various transport mechanisms:
Prompt Management: Create, list, update, delete prompts, and manage versions
Project/Workspace Management: Create, list, update, and delete projects
Trace Management: List traces, retrieve details, and access statistics
Metrics: Query metrics data with filtering options
Server Information: Retrieve configuration details
Contextual Help: Access help topics and examples
Used for configuration through environment variables in a .env file
Hosts the repository and provides licensing information
Provides a Makefile for common operations like testing and starting the server
Used as the runtime environment for the MCP server
Implements pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality
Provides community support through the linked Slack community
Provides TypeScript language support for the MCP server implementation
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Opik MCP Serverlist my recent prompts"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
This repository ships the MCP server implementation only. We do not currently provide a hosted remote MCP service for Opik.
If you runstreamable-http remotely, authentication is fail-closed by default.
Why this server
Opik MCP Server gives MCP-compatible clients one interface for:
Prompt lifecycle management
Workspace, project, and trace exploration
Metrics and dataset operations
MCP resources and resource templates for metadata-aware flows

Quickstart
1. Run with npx
# Opik Cloud
npx -y opik-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEYFor self-hosted Opik, pass --apiUrl (for example http://localhost:5173/api) and use your local auth strategy.
2. Add to your MCP client
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"opik": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "opik-mcp", "--apiKey", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
}
}
}VS Code / GitHub Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json):
{
"inputs": [
{
"type": "promptString",
"id": "opik-api-key",
"description": "Opik API Key",
"password": true
}
],
"servers": {
"opik-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "opik-mcp", "--apiKey", "${input:opik-api-key}"]
}
}
}Windsurf (raw config):

Run from source
git clone https://github.com/comet-ml/opik-mcp.git
cd opik-mcp
npm install
npm run buildOptional local config:
cp .env.example .envStart the server:
npm run start:stdio
npm run start:httpTransport modes

Remote auth defaults (streamable-http)
Authorization: Bearer <OPIK_API_KEY>orx-api-keyis required by default.Workspace is resolved server-side (token map recommended); workspace headers are not trusted by default.
In remote mode, request-context workspace takes precedence over tool
workspaceName.Missing or invalid auth returns HTTP
401.
Key environment flags:
STREAMABLE_HTTP_REQUIRE_AUTH(defaulttrue)STREAMABLE_HTTP_VALIDATE_REMOTE_AUTH(defaulttrue, except test env)REMOTE_TOKEN_WORKSPACE_MAP(JSON token-to-workspace map)STREAMABLE_HTTP_TRUST_WORKSPACE_HEADERS(defaultfalse)
