03 · What SigNoz 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 discover active metric names and catalog metadata, query known metrics for values, trends, breakdowns, or formulas, read top 100 metrics ranked by ingested sample volume with pre-computed percentages for cost and volume analysis, and read label/attribute keys for a single metric with cardinality counts and sample values, sorted highest-cardinality first.
