How do I find my Honeycomb API Key?

Log in to Honeycomb, go to **Team Settings**, and navigate to the **API Keys** section. You will be able to generate and copy your Team API Key from there. Ensure you also note your account's region.

Which region should I select?

If your browser URL starts with `ui.eu1.honeycomb.io`, select **EU**. Otherwise, select **US**. Using the correct region is required for the integration to connect to the right API cluster.

Can I run a query and get the data back?

Yes! Use the `run_query` tool with a valid query ID. It will return a result ID, which you can then pass to the `get_query_result` tool once the analysis is complete.

Is the integration secure for telemetry data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Honeycomb Team API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials and queried data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

About Honeycomb MCP Server

Connect your Honeycomb.io observability platform to any AI agent and take full control of your telemetry data, query specifications, and incident markers through natural conversation.

LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with Honeycomb through native MCP adapters. Connect 12 tools via the Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures — with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.

What you can do

Dataset Oversight — List all event sources, retrieve detailed metadata, and monitor last access times for your datasets.
Query Management — Define new query specifications and execute them to retrieve granular performance insights.
Marker Automation — Create timeline annotations (e.g., for deployments or outages) to contextualize your data visualization.
Schema Insights — List and inspect columns within specific datasets to understand your event structure.
Team Collaboration — Access shared boards and retrieve information about your Honeycomb team configuration.
Incident Analysis — Use AI to run complex queries and retrieve results for rapid troubleshooting and RCA.

The Honeycomb MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LangChain in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
