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 CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Prometheus becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Prometheus tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports
Prometheus in CrewAI
Prometheus and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Prometheus to CrewAI 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 CrewAI
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 CrewAI 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 CrewAI
Every tool call from CrewAI 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 does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
