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 VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Prometheus data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 14 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
