Observability MCP

The unified observability gateway for AI agents. One MCP server that connects to any observability backend through pluggable connectors, normalizes the data, adds robust anomaly analysis, and provides a web UI for configuration. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting cloud infrastructure tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Observability MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set PROMETHEUS_URL, GRAFANA_PROM_USER before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add thotischner-observability-mcp -- npx -y @thotischner/observability-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thotischner-observability-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@thotischner/observability-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
