Overview

This MCP server enables querying observability tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Kafka UI, and Datadog from AI clients such as Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. It uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model where credentials remain securely in environment variables on your machine, ensuring no data leaves your environment. Configure only the backends you use, and the server exposes only those tools. It runs locally via npx without cloning or building.

Use cases

โ€ขQuery Grafana dashboards and alerts programmatically
โ€ขRun Prometheus queries and retrieve metrics
โ€ขAccess Kafka UI information through AI agents
โ€ขFetch Datadog monitoring data securely
โ€ขPerform unified health checks across observability backends

Key features

โ€ขSupports Grafana, Prometheus, Kafka UI, and Datadog
โ€ขBYOK model with credentials in environment variables
โ€ขPartial setup exposing only configured backends
โ€ขUnified health check tool across all configured services
โ€ขInteractive CLI wizard for quick configuration
โ€ขCompatible with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex clients

โšก Quick Start

Option A โ€” Interactive wizard (recommended)

Run once, answer a few questions, get a ready-made .mcp.json:

Terminal
npx byok-observability-mcp --init

The wizard will:

  • Let you pick which backends to configure
  • Ask for credentials per service
  • Test connectivity with your real endpoints before writing anything
  • Write .mcp.json to your project root or ~/.claude/ โ€” your choice

Then just start Claude Code:

bash
claude

[!TIP] That's it. No clone, no build, no env file. Works in under 60 seconds.


Option B โ€” Manual .mcp.json

Create .mcp.json in your project root. Include only the backends you need.

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "observability-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "byok-observability-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GRAFANA_URL":    "https://grafana.mycompany.internal",
        "GRAFANA_TOKEN":  "glsa_...",
        "PROMETHEUS_URL": "https://prometheus.mycompany.internal",
        "KAFKA_UI_URL":   "https://kafka-ui.mycompany.internal",
        "DD_API_KEY":     "your-datadog-api-key",
        "DD_APP_KEY":     "your-datadog-app-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Credentials in git? Use the ${VAR} approach instead โ€” see Configuration โ†’ Method B.

Start Claude Code:

bash
claude

Claude Code reads .mcp.json automatically. No claude mcp add, no build step.

Verify by asking Claude:

Code
What observability tools do you have available?

๐Ÿงฉ Supported clients

ClientConfiguration
Claude Code.mcp.json in project root (recommended) or claude mcp add CLI
OpenAI Codex CLI.mcp.json in project root โ€” same format as Claude Code

Both clients read .mcp.json automatically. The Quick Start above works for either.

Codex CLI example
bash
# Same .mcp.json as above works out of the box
codex

Or add via CLI:

bash
codex mcp add --transport stdio observability-mcp -- npx -y byok-observability-mcp
