- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
Choose Ezstat MCP Server when

Ezstat MCP Server tools 7
track_metricRecord a metric point your app "produced". Use this whenever the surrounding code emits a counter or gauge — e.g. on a page view, a successful checkout, or a measured latency. Counters are +N (default +1), values are gauges (e.g. 42.5 ms).ask_ezstatAsk a natural-language question about the account's metrics. This is the agent-read path: send a question like "what spiked yesterday?" or "compare signups vs cancellations last 7 days" and EzStat returns a grounded answer plus the underlying data it used.read_statRead a single stat: latest value, recent series, and basic summary (count/min/max/avg/sum). Use this for a structured read of one metric — prefer `ask_ezstat` for free-form questions over many stats.list_statsList the account's metrics — names and types. Call this first when you don't know what stats exist in the account.create_alertCreate an alert on a stat: webhook fires when the condition is met (above/below threshold, % change, heartbeat/missing data, sustained). Deliveries retry with backoff and carry a stable idempotency_key so receivers can dedup. The stat is referenced by NAME; it must already exist.list_alertsList the account's alerts: id, stat, condition, channel, enabled, last trigger time.delete_alertDelete an alert by id (see list_alerts).

Monitor is listed as freemium — a free tier with paid plans. Auth: api key required. Ezstat MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add betterdb-inc-monitor and ezstat-mcp-server as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
