Prometheus MCP Server

Give AI assistants the power to query your Prometheus metrics. A [Model Context Protocol][mcp] (MCP) server that provides access to your Prometheus metrics and queries through standardized MCP interfaces, allowing AI assistants to execute PromQL queries and analyze your metrics data. Its 6 documented tools cluster into read & search, run & execute, health.

People who need DevOps & monitoring tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry namespace io.github.pab1it0 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Prometheus MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can execute a PromQL instant query against Prometheus, execute a PromQL range query with start time, end time, and step interval, list all available metrics in Prometheus with pagination and filtering support, and get metadata for one metric or bulk metadata with optional filtering.
