Implementation Reference

• src/alertmanager_mcp_server/server.py:309-319 (handler)

  The get_status handler function - decorated with @mcp.tool, calls the Alertmanager /api/v2/status endpoint via make_request.

  @mcp.tool(description="Get current status of an Alertmanager instance and its cluster")
  async def get_status():
      """Get current status of an Alertmanager instance and its cluster
  
      Returns
      -------
      dict:

          containing the response data.
      """
      return make_request(method="GET", route="/api/v2/status")

• src/alertmanager_mcp_server/server.py:309-309 (registration)

  Registration as an MCP tool via the @mcp.tool decorator on FastMCP instance 'mcp'.

  @mcp.tool(description="Get current status of an Alertmanager instance and its cluster")

• src/alertmanager_mcp_server/server.py:183-234 (helper)

  The make_request helper function that get_status uses to make HTTP GET requests to the Alertmanager API.

• src/alertmanager_mcp_server/server.py:143-180 (helper)

  The url_join helper used by make_request to construct the full URL from base config URL and API route path.

  def url_join(base: str, path: str) -> str:
      """Join a base URL with a path, preserving the base URL's path component.
  
      Unlike urllib.parse.urljoin, this function preserves the path in the base URL
      when the path argument starts with '/'. This is useful for APIs hosted at
      subpaths (e.g., http://localhost:8080/alertmanager).
  
      Examples
      --------
      >>> url_join("http://localhost:8080/alertmanager", "/api/v2/alerts")
      'http://localhost:8080/alertmanager/api/v2/alerts'
  
      >>> url_join("http://localhost:8080/alertmanager/", "/api/v2/alerts")
      'http://localhost:8080/alertmanager/api/v2/alerts'
  
      >>> url_join("http://localhost:8080", "/api/v2/alerts")
      'http://localhost:8080/api/v2/alerts'
  
      Parameters
      ----------
      base : str
          The base URL which may include a path component
      path : str
          The path to append, which may or may not start with '/'
  
      Returns
      -------
      str
          The combined URL with both base path and appended path
      """
      # Remove trailing slash from base if present
      base = base.rstrip('/')
  
      # Remove leading slash from path if present
      path = path.lstrip('/')
  
      # Combine with a single slash
