What you can do with this MCP connector
You're gonna connect your AI agent right into PagerDuty. This server gives your client full control over incident management, so you don't gotta jump between dashboards just to fix something. You can manage services and respond to outages straight from where you're coding.
Incident Management Tools
The list_incidents tool lets you pull up a list of every open outage, letting you filter that rundown by status—you can see everything triggered, what's acknowledged, or what's already resolved. If you need the deep dive on one specific event, use get_incident with its unique ID; it’ll hand back all the full details: the current status, the affected service, and how bad things are.
Don't wanna wait for an alert? You can proactively log a new outage using create_incident, giving it an email address, the specific service ID, and a title right away. When an incident pops up that needs attention, you use update_incident to change its state—you can acknowledge it as a known problem or resolve it when you fix the underlying mess.
Service Monitoring & Discovery
To see what services are even getting monitored, run list_services; it gives you the complete catalog of every single thing PagerDuty tracks. Once you know which service is giving you grief, get_service grabs its full configuration and current health status. It shows you exactly how that specific service is set up to monitor itself.
On-Call and Team Structure
To figure out who's supposed to be fixing this, the system has a few tools for people. list_oncalls tells you right now who’s primary and secondary contacts across all active schedules. You can also see all available rotation plans using list_schedules, which shows every schedule name and the teams tied to it.
If you need details on the actual users, run list_users; that outputs a list of everyone configured in the PagerDuty account. For a deep dive into one specific person, use get_user to pull detailed profile information, including all their contact methods.
Workflow and Escalation Logic
You can map out how alerts flow through the company's structure using list_escalation_policies. This tool displays every defined escalation chain, so you understand the routing rules and time limits for an alert. You also get a clear picture of who’s doing what with list_users, which outputs all configured users in the system.
Summary Action Flow
Your agent can take this information and act on it. It'll list every service you need to check, then pull up the current escalation rules for that service. If things look bad, your agent knows who’s on call from list_oncalls, and it can log a brand-new incident using create_incident. You can track all open incidents by calling list_incidents or get granular status updates by fetching details with get_incident.
When the crisis is over, you use update_incident to mark it resolved. It’s everything in one place.
How PagerDuty MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to this server, then enter your PagerDuty REST API Key under Configuration > API Access.
- 2 Your AI client calls the
list_servicestool to get a list of all monitored services and their IDs. - 3 You pass an incident ID or service name to tools like
get_incidentorcreate_incidentto start managing the event.
The bottom line is: you use your AI client to run specific, state-changing commands against PagerDuty's live data feed.
Who Is PagerDuty MCP For?
This is for Site Reliability Engineers and DevOps teams who are sick of context switching during an outage. If you're the ops engineer staring at a dozen dashboards trying to figure out who owns what, this tool lets your agent handle the API calls so you can focus on fixing the code.
Uses get_incident and update_incident to quickly triage alerts, acknowledge outages, and resolve tickets without leaving their primary coding environment.
Runs list_services and list_escalation_policies to map out system dependencies and ensure the runbook covers every failure mode.
Uses list_oncalls to get an instant, accurate view of who is covering which services right now, minimizing coordination delays.
What Changes When You Connect
- Immediate Status Checks: Use
list_incidentsto pull a list of currently triggered alerts. You don't have to manually check the dashboard; your agent pulls the data instantly. - Know Who To Call: The
list_oncallstool gives you real-time coverage visibility. Stop wasting time emailing people whenlist_oncallstells you exactly who is on duty and until when. - Control Incident State: When an alert pops up, use
update_incidentto acknowledge it or mark it resolved directly through conversation. This is critical for maintaining the incident timeline. - Deep Service Context: Calling
get_serviceprovides more than just a name; you get deep configuration data, including integrations and auto-resolve timings, which informs your fix strategy. - Map Out Failures: Reviewing
list_escalation_policieshelps you predict how an incident will flow. You see the full chain—Level 1 to Level 2—before it actually breaks. - Fast Triage Cycle: The combination of
list_usersandget_userlets your agent quickly pull contact details for key personnel involved in a specific service or incident.
Real-World Use Cases
The Critical Outage
An alert hits: 'High latency on Auth API.' The agent runs list_incidents and finds the ID. It then calls get_service for that service to see its integrations (Datadog, Sentry). Finally, it uses update_incident to acknowledge the issue, giving immediate visibility into the problem's scope.
Onboarding a New Team Member
A new engineer needs to know the current on-call rotation. They ask their agent, which runs list_oncalls. The response shows exactly who is covering the platform and when they hand off. This saves them 15 minutes of checking internal wikis.
Pre-Mortem Planning
Before a major deployment, an SRE needs to verify service dependencies. They run list_services to get the full catalog. Then they use get_service on three key components to audit their respective escalation policies and required integrations.
Investigating User Roles
An incident requires contacting a specific user role, but the agent doesn't know the ID. The engineer runs list_users, finds the correct profile name, and then uses get_user to get the necessary contact methods.
The Tradeoffs
Assuming current status is enough
A developer sees an incident listed in a dashboard but doesn't know if it was already acknowledged or resolved by another team. They just assume the alert means 'active.'
→
Don't guess the state. Always call get_incident first using the ID. This tool gives you the current, authoritative status of the incident before any action is taken.
Creating incidents manually for everything
An engineer sees a minor warning and runs create_incident without checking if an alert already exists or who owns the service. This clogs up the system with noise.
→
Before creating, always run list_incidents and filter by 'triggered' status. Confirm no equivalent incident exists. If necessary, then call create_incident.
Over-relying on general knowledge
A developer knows the 'payments service' is important but doesn't know its precise ID or current owners. They start troubleshooting based on assumption.
→
Start by calling list_services to get all IDs, then use that ID in conjunction with get_service to pull reliable, structured data for the payments service.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your primary task involves managing state transitions during an active outage or requiring comprehensive visibility into operational roles. The tools are ideal when you need to read current incident status (get_incident), update that status (update_incident), or determine who is accountable (list_oncalls).
Don't use this if you simply want a list of all services and don't care about their health, or if your process relies on reading documentation outside of the live API state. For simple catalog browsing without action, a basic data lookup tool might suffice, but for active incident response, PagerDuty is non-negotiable.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 11 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Responding to an outage usually means switching five tabs and running three separate queries.
Today, when the system breaks, you jump into the dashboard, click 'Service A,' then open a new tab for 'On-Call Schedules.' You copy the incident ID from one page to paste it into another tool just to check who was supposed to be handling it. It's manual data wrangling that adds minutes—minutes that cost real money.
With this MCP server, your agent handles the entire sequence. Give it an alert and ask: 'Who owns this service and what's its status?' The agent runs `list_services`, finds the ID, calls `get_service` for details, checks `list_oncalls` for personnel, and gives you a single, comprehensive answer right in your chat window.
The PagerDuty MCP Server: Get instant operational control.
Manual steps that disappear include checking the 'Incident Status' page, opening the 'Service Config' tab to check integrations, and then manually cross-referencing a contact list for the right engineer. Each step is a potential point of failure or delay.
Now, you talk to your agent. You tell it what needs fixing, not what needs looking up. It executes `get_incident` and runs `list_oncalls` in sequence. The process isn't just faster; it’s fundamentally safer because every call is verifiable via the tool manifest.
