Docker Connection

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newrelic": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "NEW_RELIC_API_KEY",
        "-e",
        "NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID",
        "-e",
        "NEW_RELIC_REGION",
        "danielng123/nr-mcp:latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEW_RELIC_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
        "NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID": "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>",
        "NEW_RELIC_REGION": "US"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Developers

This section is for developers who want to contribute to the nr-mcp project.

Development Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ducduyn31/nr-mcp.git
cd nr-mcp

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the project
pnpm build

The MCP Inspector is a powerful tool for debugging and testing MCP servers and clients. We've added a streamlined development workflow that automatically watches for file changes, rebuilds the project, and runs the inspector:

# Start the development workflow
pnpm dev

This command:

1. Watches the src directory for changes to .ts files

2. Automatically rebuilds the project when changes are detected

3. Runs the MCP Inspector in parallel

Manual Testing

You can also run these commands separately:

# Watch for file changes and rebuild
pnpm watch

# Start the inspector
pnpm inspector

Using the Inspector

Once the inspector is running:

1. Open the web interface (typically at http://localhost:5173)

2. Select "Connect to Server"

3. Choose "Stdio" as the transport type

4. Enter the command to start your server: node dist/index.js

5. Click "Connect"

After connecting, you can:

• Browse available tools

• Make test calls with custom parameters

• View responses and any errors

• Record and replay testing sessions

Debugging Tips

• Use the inspector to compare expected vs. actual responses

• Monitor the full request/response cycle for each tool call

• Check for proper error handling by intentionally sending invalid inputs

• Verify that your tools adhere to their declared schemas

Development

# Create a new tool
pnpm create-tool

# Lint code
pnpm lint

# Format code
