MCP Server vs Netdata#Netdata
A side-by-side look at the MCP Server and Netdata#Netdata 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 Netdata#Netdata for monitoring. 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
