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.

FAQ

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
