How do I use concert-operate-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@concert-operate-mcp List all active alerts with severity 5 or higher" 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.

concert-operate-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for IBM Concert Operate (formerly IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps). Connects any MCP-compatible AI assistant to your Concert Operate instance, exposing the full v2 REST API as callable tools.

Compatibility

Package version	Concert Operate version
`1.x`	`5.1.x`

Related MCP server: openhab

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or later
A running Concert Operate instance (Cloud Pak for AIOps)

Installation

Option A — npx (recommended, no install required)

Add the following to your MCP client config (e.g. mcp.json for Bob, .vscode/mcp.json for GitHub Copilot in VSCode (change "mcpServers" to "servers"), ~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "concert-operate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "concert-operate-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CONCERT_BASE_URL": "https://your-instance.example.com",
        "CONCERT_CPD_USER": "cpadmin",
        "CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B — global install

npm install -g concert-operate-mcp

Then use concert-operate-mcp as the command instead of npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "concert-operate": {
      "command": "concert-operate-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "CONCERT_BASE_URL": "https://your-instance.example.com",
        "CONCERT_CPD_USER": "cpadmin",
        "CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option C — build from source

git clone https://github.com/ibm-client-engineering/concert-operate-mcp
cd concert-operate-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then point your MCP client at the absolute path to build/index.js.

Configuration

Environment variable	Required	Default	Description
`CONCERT_BASE_URL`	✅	—	Base URL of your Concert Operate instance, e.g. `https://cpd.example.com`
`CONCERT_CPD_USER`	✅	—	Cloud Pak for Data username
`CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD`	✅	—	Cloud Pak for Data password
`CONCERT_TENANT_ID`	❌	`cfd95b7e-3bc7-4006-a4a8-a73a79c71255`	Tenant ID. The default is the standard value shipped with every Concert Operate installation. Override only if your instance uses a custom tenant ID.

Self-signed certificates

TechZone and many on-premises Concert Operate deployments use self-signed TLS certificates. The server automatically bypasses certificate verification (rejectUnauthorized: false), matching the behaviour of curl -k. If your instance has a valid trusted certificate this has no effect.

Token lifecycle

The server authenticates against the CPD platform auth endpoint (/icp4d-api/v1/authorize) on first use and caches the token for approximately 11 hours 45 minutes (proactive refresh before the ~12-hour CPD expiry). If a 401 is received mid-session the token is force-refreshed and the request is automatically retried once.

Testing

An end-to-end test scenario is available in docs/test-scenario.md. It walks through the full AIOps lifecycle — event ingestion → alert correlation → story creation → enrichment → resolution — using prompt-by-prompt instructions for Bob. No tool knowledge required; Bob calls the correct MCP tools automatically.

Development

git clone https://github.com/ibm-client-engineering/concert-operate-mcp
cd concert-operate-mcp
npm install
npm run build        # compiles src/index.ts → build/index.js
npm run dev          # watch mode

To test locally with the MCP Inspector:

$env:CONCERT_BASE_URL="https://your-instance.example.com"
$env:CONCERT_CPD_USER="cpadmin"
$env:CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD="yourpassword"
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js

Testing directly inside Bob (IBM Bob IDE)

The repo ships a .bob/mcp.json.sample template. Copy it to .bob/mcp.json, fill in your credentials, and Bob will register the local build as an MCP server automatically when you open the folder.

.bob/mcp.json is listed in .gitignore so it is never tracked by git — your credentials stay local.

First-time setup:

Copy the sample and fill in your credentials:
On Windows (PowerShell):
```
Copy-Item .bob/mcp.json.sample .bob/mcp.json
```
On macOS / Linux:
```
cp .bob/mcp.json.sample .bob/mcp.json
```
Then open .bob/mcp.json and replace the three placeholder values:
- CONCERT_BASE_URL → your Concert Operate base URL
- CONCERT_CPD_USER → your CPD username
- CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD → your CPD password
Run npm run build (or npm run dev for watch mode) — Bob connects to the freshly compiled build/index.js.
Open the MCP panel in Bob and confirm the concert-operate server is listed with all its tools.

After any source change, re-run npm run build. The server restarts automatically on the next tool call.

Troubleshooting the Bob MCP connection

1. Confirm the build exists

Test-Path build/index.js

ls build/index.js

If missing, run npm run build first.

2. Run the server manually

This is the fastest way to see a raw error. The server speaks stdio, so a clean start will block silently waiting for input — that's correct. Any output before that is an error.

On Windows (PowerShell):

$env:CONCERT_BASE_URL="https://your-instance.example.com"
$env:CONCERT_CPD_USER="cpadmin"
$env:CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD="yourpassword"
node build/index.js

On macOS / Linux:

CONCERT_BASE_URL="https://your-instance.example.com" \
CONCERT_CPD_USER="cpadmin" \
CONCERT_CPD_PASSWORD="yourpassword" \
node build/index.js

3. Check the Bob MCP logs

The quickest way is the Output panel: in Bob open View → Output and select IBM Bob MCP from the dropdown — this streams the live log.

To open the log files directly:

On Windows, the logs are under %APPDATA%\IBM Bob\logs\<session>\<window>\exthost\IBM.bob-code\. Open the two most relevant files from a terminal:

# List sessions newest-first to find the right <session> folder
Get-ChildItem "$env:APPDATA\IBM Bob\logs" | Sort-Object Name -Descending | Select-Object -First 3 Name

# Open the MCP log for the most recent session (replace <session> and <window>)
code "$env:APPDATA\IBM Bob\logs\<session>\<window>\exthost\IBM.bob-code\IBM Bob MCP.log"
code "$env:APPDATA\IBM Bob\logs\<session>\mcpGateway.log"

On macOS, the equivalent paths are under ~/Library/Application Support/IBM Bob/logs/ with the same structure:

# List sessions newest-first
ls -t ~/Library/Application\ Support/IBM\ Bob/logs/ | head -3

# Open the MCP log (replace <session> and <window>)
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/IBM\ Bob/logs/<session>/<window>/exthost/IBM.bob-code/IBM\ Bob\ MCP.log

Releasing a new version

Make and test your changes
Run npm run build to confirm it compiles cleanly

Bump the version and create the git tag:

npm version patch   # bug fix:        1.0.0 → 1.0.1
npm version minor   # new endpoints:  1.0.0 → 1.1.0
npm version major   # breaking change (new Concert major): 1.0.0 → 2.0.0

Push the commit and tag:
```
git push --follow-tags
```

The GitHub Actions workflow triggers automatically on the tag push, builds the package, and publishes it to npm. No manual npm publish needed.

Version compatibility

npm package major	Concert Operate version
1.x	5.1.x

When a new major Concert Operate version introduces breaking API changes, bump the npm major version and update this table.
