## Description
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Prometheus monitoring

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **query** — Execute a PromQL instant query
- **queryRange** — Execute a PromQL range query over time
- **getTargets** — Get scrape targets status
- **getRules** — Get alerting and recording rules
- **getPrometheusStatus** — Get server version and runtime info
- **getClusterHealthOverview** — Comprehensive cluster health overview
- **diagnoseNode** — Diagnose a specific node's health
- **diagnoseNamespace** — Diagnose a namespace's health
- **getTopResourceConsumers** — Top CPU/memory/network consumers
- **investigatePod** — Deep investigation of a specific pod
- **compareTimeRanges** — Compare metrics between two time periods

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-prometheus": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","mcp-prometheus@latest"]
  }
}
```

# Prometheus MCP Server (Go)

[![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/jeanlopezxyz/mcp-prometheus?sort=semver)](https://github.com/jeanlopezxyz/mcp-prometheus/releases/latest)

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for Prometheus integration. Native Go binary with built-in Kubernetes connectivity via client-go.

## Installation

### npx

```bash
npx -y mcp-prometheus@latest
```

### MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client configuration (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prometheus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-prometheus@latest"],
      "env": {
        "PROMETHEUS_URL": "http://localhost:9090"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```shell
code --add-mcp '{"name":"prometheus","command":"npx","args":["-y","mcp-prometheus@latest"],"env":{"PROMETHEUS_URL":"http://localhost:9090"}}'
```

### Kubernetes Auto-Connect

Automatically connects to Prometheus running in OpenShift/Kubernetes via the K8S API service proxy. Uses native kubeconfig/in-cluster config via client-go. No `kubectl` or port-forwarding required.

Default: `openshift-monitoring/prometheus-operated:9090`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prometheus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-prometheus@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Binary

Download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/jeanlopezxyz/mcp-prometheus/releases) or build from source:

```bash
make build
./mcp-prometheus
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `PROMETHEUS_URL` | Direct Prometheus API URL (overrides K8S auto-connect) |

### CLI Flags

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--url` | Direct Prometheus URL | - |
| `--namespace` | Kubernetes namespace | `openshift-monitoring` |
| `--service` | Kubernetes service name | `prometheus-operated` |
| `--service-port` | Kubernetes service port | `9090` |
| `--service-scheme` | Service scheme (http/https) | `https` |
| `--kubeconfig` | Path to kubeconfig file | auto-detect |

**Precedence:** `--url` / `PROMETHEUS_URL` > K8S auto-connect

**Connection strategy:**
1. Direct URL (if `--url` or `PROMETHEUS_URL` is set)
2. K8S API proxy (auto-detect kubeconfig or in-cluster config)

```

---

## Development

### Build

```bash
make build              # Build for current platform
make build-all-platforms # Cross-compile for all platforms
```

### Container

```bash
podman build -f Containerfile -t mcp-prometheus .
```

## Kubernetes / OpenShift Deployment

### Container Image

The container image is available on GitHub Container Registry:

```
ghcr.io/jeanlopezxyz/mcp-prometheus:latest
```

### Helm Chart

Deploy using the included Helm chart:

```bash
# Add the chart repository (or use local chart)
helm upgrade --install mcp-prometheus ./charts/mcp-prometheus \
  --namespace mcp-servers \
  --create-namespace \
  --set openshift=true
```

#### Helm Values

| Parameter | Description | Default |
