Documentation Overview

Prometheus MCP Server (Go)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Prometheus integration. Native Go binary with built-in Kubernetes connectivity via client-go.

Installation

npx

Terminal

npx -y mcp-prometheus@latest

MCP Client Configuration

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

config.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

config.json

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

Binary

Download from GitHub Releases or build from source:

bash

make build
./mcp-prometheus
