Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Netdata MCP Server?
Connect your Netdata monitoring infrastructure to any AI agent for instant, real-time observability and performance analysis through natural language.
What you can do
- Real-time Metrics — Fetch granular data from specific charts (CPU, RAM, Disk, Network) using
get_chart_datato diagnose performance bottlenecks. - Agent Health — Inspect node versions, host information, and enabled features with
get_agent_infoandlist_charts. - Alert Management — Query active alarms on local agents via
get_alarmsor monitor space-wide critical issues usinglist_space_alerts. - Cloud Orchestration — Navigate your entire infrastructure by listing spaces, rooms, and nodes connected to Netdata Cloud.
- Scraping & Export — Retrieve all metrics in a format suitable for external analysis tools using
get_all_metrics.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Netdata Cloud Token or Agent URL
- Start monitoring your infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between dashboards to find which node is spiking. Your AI acts as a 24/7 SRE or System Administrator.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — instantly correlate system alerts with recent deployments without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- SREs — automate the retrieval of chart data and alarm statuses to speed up incident response.
- System Administrators — manage large-scale node environments by querying spaces and rooms via simple conversation.

Why Windsurf?
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Netdata tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Netdata in Windsurf
The Netdata 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 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Windsurf 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
Netdata for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Netdata MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I fetch specific metric data for a chart like CPU usage?
Use the get_chart_data tool. You need to provide the chart ID (e.g., 'system.cpu') and optionally specify time ranges like after or aggregation methods like group.
Can I see all active alerts across my entire Netdata Cloud space?
Yes! Use the list_space_alerts tool with your space_id. It will return all active alerts across all nodes connected to that specific Cloud space.
How do I list all the nodes available in a specific room?
Use the list_room_nodes tool. You will need to provide both the space_id and the room_id to filter the nodes within that specific grouping.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
