Prometheus MCP Server

npm version License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with Prometheus, enabling AI assistants to query metrics, discover available data, and analyze system performance through natural language interactions.

Features

  • Real-time Metrics Access - Query current and historical metrics data

  • Metrics Discovery - Find available metrics and monitoring targets

  • Multiple Auth Methods - Basic auth, bearer tokens, and TLS support

  • Type-safe - Full TypeScript implementation

MCP Configuration

Using npx (Recommended)

Add to your MCP client settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prometheus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["prometheus-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PROMETHEUS_URL": "http://localhost:9090"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using global installation

First install the package globally:

npm install -g prometheus-mcp-server

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prometheus": {
      "command": "prometheus-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "PROMETHEUS_URL": "http://localhost:9090"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

# Required
PROMETHEUS_URL=http://localhost:9090

# Optional Authentication
PROMETHEUS_USERNAME=admin
PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD=password
PROMETHEUS_TOKEN=bearer-token

Example Usage

Ask your AI assistant natural language questions:

  • "What's the current CPU usage across all servers?"

  • "Show me HTTP request rates for the last 6 hours"

  • "Which services have the highest memory consumption?"

  • "Are there any failing health checks?"

  • "What metrics are available for monitoring my database?"

Development

# Run with inspector
npm run inspector

# Run directly
npm run dev
