Kibana MCP Server

A Kibana MCP server implementation that allows any MCP-compatible client (such as Claude Desktop) to access your Kibana instance via natural language or programmatic requests. Its 16 documented tools cover saved, api, object, kibana. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Kibana

before you install - you'll need

Set KIBANA_URL, KIBANA_API_KEY, KIBANA_USERNAME, KIBANA_PASSWORD, KIBANA_COOKIES, MCP_TRANSPORT, MCP_HTTP_PORT before connecting. KIBANA_DEFAULT_SPACE is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add tocharianou-mcp-server-kibana -- npx -y @tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

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

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
