Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Prometheus MCP Server?
Connect your Prometheus instance to any AI agent and transform your observability data into actionable insights through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Instant & Range Queries — Evaluate complex PromQL expressions for real-time status or historical trends over specific time windows.
- Metric Discovery — Find time series matching specific label selectors and explore available labels and their values across your environment.
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed metadata about metrics scraped from targets to understand units, types, and help text.
- Admin Operations — Create data snapshots, delete specific series, and clean tombstones (requires admin API enabled).
- System Status — Inspect your Prometheus configuration, flags, and runtime information to ensure your monitoring stack is healthy.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Prometheus Server URL (and optional Auth Token)
- Start querying your metrics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual dashboard building just to answer a quick question about system health. Your AI acts as a dedicated SRE or DevOps engineer.
Who is this for?
- SRE & DevOps Engineers — instantly troubleshoot incidents by querying metrics and checking configurations without leaving the terminal or chat.
- Backend Developers — verify service performance and resource consumption directly from the code editor.
- Platform Teams — automate infrastructure health reports and audit monitoring configurations via natural language.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Prometheus as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 14 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Prometheus data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Prometheus tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Prometheus in Claude Code
Prometheus and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Prometheus to Claude Code through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.
Raw MCP | Vinkius | |
|---|---|---|
| Server catalog | Find and host yourself | 4,000+ managed |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |
| Honeytokens | None | Canary alerts on leak |
| Custom domains | Not applicable | DNS challenge verified |
| GDPR compliance | Manual effort | Automated purge + export |
Why teams choose Vinkius for Prometheus in Claude Code
The Prometheus MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 14 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Claude Code only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Prometheus for Claude Code
Every tool call from Claude Code to the Prometheus MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run a PromQL query to get the current value of a metric?
Yes. Use the query tool to evaluate any PromQL expression at a single point in time. This is perfect for checking current CPU usage, memory levels, or error rates.
How do I see how a metric has changed over the last hour?
Use the query_range tool. You can specify the start and end timestamps along with a step duration to retrieve historical data points for graphing or trend analysis.
Can I perform administrative tasks like creating backups?
Yes, if your Prometheus server has the Admin API enabled (--web.enable-admin-api), you can use the create_snapshot tool to create a snapshot of all current data on disk.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
