# Dynatrace MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Dynatrace MCP for AI Agents. Monitor and manage your Dynatrace environment by querying metrics, tracking problems, and managing entities like hosts and services directly through your AI client. It lets you automate observability workflows and handle infrastructure tasks without leaving your chat interface. ## Overview - **Category:** devops-cicd - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_Ub1wigqfvjMAz6k93QYXbZ21a7R0BVK0S8PIvZWb/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** apm, observability, infrastructure-monitoring, incident-response, metrics-analysis ## Description Connect your Dynatrace environment to your AI agent to get a clear view of your software ecosystem without jumping between tabs. This Connector lets you perform real-time monitoring, analyze problems, and manage your infrastructure through natural language. Instead of hunting through complex menus to find a specific host or a failing service, you can just ask your agent to pull that data for you. You can query performance metrics, look for active issues, or see how your synthetic monitors are performing across different regions. It even handles the administrative side of things, like managing user permissions or updating dashboard settings. By using this through the Vinkius catalog, you turn your observability data into a searchable knowledge base. You'll spend less time clicking and more time actually solving problems. ## Tools ### get_anomaly_detection_services See the anomaly detection settings for your services.

Subscribe to the Dynatrace MCP and provide your Environment URL and API Token. 2. Connect the Connector to your preferred AI client like Claude or Cursor. 3. Ask your agent to find problems, query metrics, or update dashboard settings. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Does the Dynatrace MCP work with my existing data?** Yes, it connects directly to your existing Dynatrace Environment API. You can query all the metrics, problems, and entities you already have in your account. **Can I use the Dynatrace MCP to fix my site?** The Connector helps you find the root cause much faster by pulling data into your chat. While it doesn't automatically reboot servers, it gives you the info you need to take action. **Is the Dynatrace MCP safe for my account?** Yes, it uses your Dynatrace Environment URL and API Token to interact with your data, just like the official web console does. **How does the Dynatrace MCP help with synthetic testing?** You can use it to create new synthetic monitors, update their locations, and trigger batches of checks immediately through your AI client. **Can the Dynatrace MCP manage my users?** Yes, it can list all users in your account, view your current access policies, and update permissions for user groups. **Does the Dynatrace MCP support custom metrics?** Yes, it allows you to ingest custom metrics and events into your environment using the standard line protocol. **How can I check for active problems in my environment?** You can use the `list_problems` tool. It retrieves all open and closed problems detected by Dynatrace, providing you with an immediate overview of your system's health. **Is it possible to query specific performance metrics like CPU usage?** Yes! Use the `query_metrics` tool with a metric selector (e.g., `builtin:host.cpu.usage:avg`). The agent will fetch the relevant data points for analysis. **Can I manage my synthetic monitoring tests through this server?** Absolutely. You can use `list_synthetic_monitors` to see your current tests and `trigger_synthetic_batch` to manually start execution sequences.
