W1 Who

Independent open source maintainer pab1it0, one of several community authors of Prometheus MCP connectors.

W2 What

An MCP server that lets an AI agent discover metrics, run PromQL queries, and analyze Prometheus time series data through a standardized interface.

W3 Where

Runs as a local process that talks to a Prometheus server's HTTP API, typically on a private network or VPN.

W4 When

Published in 2024 and 2025 as multiple independent Prometheus MCP servers appeared in Go, TypeScript, and Python.

W5 Why

Lets an agent triage incidents and analyze performance trends without a human hand crafting PromQL queries.

W6 With

Requires an MCP client and network access to a Prometheus server URL, optionally with basic auth or a bearer token.

W7 Watch

Community maintained, no single official Prometheus project server, typically Apache 2.0 or MIT licensed, read only against metrics data, runs locally.
