Prometheus MCP
the six Ws · specification
Independent open source maintainer pab1it0, one of several community authors of Prometheus MCP connectors.
An MCP server that lets an AI agent discover metrics, run PromQL queries, and analyze Prometheus time series data through a standardized interface.
Runs as a local process that talks to a Prometheus server's HTTP API, typically on a private network or VPN.
Published in 2024 and 2025 as multiple independent Prometheus MCP servers appeared in Go, TypeScript, and Python.
Lets an agent triage incidents and analyze performance trends without a human hand crafting PromQL queries.
Requires an MCP client and network access to a Prometheus server URL, optionally with basic auth or a bearer token.
Community maintained, no single official Prometheus project server, typically Apache 2.0 or MIT licensed, read only against metrics data, runs locally.
