MCP Server vs MCP Victoriametrics
A side-by-side look at the MCP Server and MCP Victoriametrics MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose MCP Server for monitoring work over a hosted endpoint; choose MCP Victoriametrics for monitoring over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

thinkneo_check_spendCheck AI spend summary for a workspace, team, or project. Returns real cost breakdown by provider, model, and time period from the ThinkNEO AI gateway.thinkneo_completeRun a governed LLM completion through the ThinkNEO AI gateway. The request is authorized, classified, and policy-checked against your workspace governance BEFORE any provider is called — a blocked prompt never reaches the model. Tenant/workspace are derived from your API key.thinkneo_read_memoryRead Claude Code project memory files. Without arguments, returns the MEMORY.md index listing all available memories. With a filename argument, returns the full content of that specific memory file. Use this to access project context, user preferences, feedback, and reference notes persisted across Claude Code sessions.thinkneo_write_memoryWrite or update a Claude Code project memory file (.md). Persists project context, user preferences, feedback, and reference notes across Claude Code sessions. Filename must end in .md with lowercase alphanumeric characters. Path traversal is blocked. Requires authentication.Use this to persist project context, user preferences, feedback, and reference notes across Claude Code sessions. The filename must end in .md and contain only lowercase letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens (e.g. 'user_fabio.md', 'project_new_feature.md'). Path traversal is blocked.thinkneo_evaluate_guardrailEvaluate a prompt or text against ThinkNEO guardrail policies before sending it to an AI provider. Returns risk assessment, violations found, and recommendations. Requires authentication.thinkneo_checkFree-tier prompt safety check. Analyzes text for prompt injection patterns and PII (credit card numbers, Brazilian CPF, US SSN, email, phone, passwords). Returns a safety assessment with specific warnings. No authentication required.thinkneo_check_policyCheck AI governance policies including model access, budget limits, data controls, and agent governance from the ThinkNEO gateway.thinkneo_get_budget_statusCheck AI budget status including spend vs limit, forecast, and chargeback data from the ThinkNEO gateway.thinkneo_list_alertsList active alerts for budget, policy, SLA, and security from the ThinkNEO gateway.thinkneo_get_compliance_statusGet compliance status including framework coverage (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2) and governance assessments from the ThinkNEO gateway.thinkneo_provider_statusGet real-time health and performance status of AI providers routed through the ThinkNEO gateway. Shows latency, error rates, and availability. No authentication required.thinkneo_schedule_demoSchedule a demo or discovery call with the ThinkNEO team. Collects contact information and preferences. No authentication required.- +56 more on the listing page

active_queriesActive queries. This tool can determine currently active queries in the VictoriaMetrics instance. This information is obtained from the "/api/v1/status/active_queries" HTTP endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.alertsList of firing and pending alerts of the VictoriaMetrics instance. This tool uses `/api/v1/alerts` endpoint of vmalert API, proxied by VictoriaMetrics API.documentationSearch documentation resources for the given search query, returning the URIs of the resources that match the search criteria sorted by relevance. This tool can help to get context for any VictoriaMetrics related question.explain_queryExplain how MetricsQL query workslabel_valuesList of label values from VictoriaMetrics instance for a provided label name. This tool uses `/api/v1/label/{labelName}/values` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.labelsList of label names of the VictoriaMetrics instance. This tools uses `/api/v1/labels` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.metric_statisticsStatistics of metrics usage in queries of the VictoriaMetrics instance. This tool helps to identify unused (never queried) or rarely used metrics or conversely actively queried metrics. This tool uses `/api/v1/status/metric_names_stats` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.metricsList of available metrics of the VictoriaMetrics instance. This tool uses `/api/v1/label/__name__/values` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.metrics_metadataReturns stored metrics details (metadata) such as name, type, help (description), and unit, and can be used to generate natural language queries. This tool uses `/api/v1/metadata` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.prettify_queryPrettify (format) MetricsQL query. This tool uses `/prettify-query` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.queryInstant query executes PromQL or MetricsQL query expression at the given time. The result of Instant query is a list of time series matching the filter in query expression. Each returned series contains exactly one (timestamp, value) entry, where timestamp equals to the time query arg, while the value contains query result at the requested time. This tool uses `/api/v1/query` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.query_rangeRange query executes the query expression at the given [start…end] time range with the given step. The result of Range query is a list of time series matching the filter in query expression. Each returned series contains (timestamp, value) results for the query executed at start, start+step, start+2*step, …, start+N*step timestamps. In other words, Range query is an Instant query executed independently at start, start+step, …, start+N*step timestamps with the only difference that an instant query does not return ephemeral samples (see below). Instead, if the database does not contain any samples for the requested time and step, it simply returns an empty result. This tool uses `/api/v1/query_range` endpoint of VictoriaMetrics API.- +5 more on the listing page
