Parseable MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for Parseable. Lets any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Zed, Codex) discover, query, and manage Parseable datasets and alerts using natural language. Its 27 documented tools cover alert, dataset, target, roles. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Parseable

before you install - you'll need

Set PARSEABLE_URL, PARSEABLE_API_KEY, PARSEABLE_MODE before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add parseablehq-parseable-mcp-server -- npx -y @parseable/parseable-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parseablehq-parseable-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@parseable/parseable-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package @parseable/parseable-mcp-server - the @parseable scope differs from the repo owner (parseablehq); confirm it's the project's official package

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

03 · What Parseable 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 list all log datasets, list all alerts with state, severity, tags, create alert via guided Q&A (8 questions, confirms before submit), and list targets (Slack, webhook, Alertmanager).
