What kind of data can I get from this MCP?

You can get deep performance data, including real-time metrics like average response time and errors per minute. You can also access business transaction details, node lists, and health rule violation reports.

Does this MCP replace the AppDynamics UI?

No. It's a complement. It lets your AI agent pull specific, actionable data and reports conversationally, saving you the time of navigating the Controller's complex user interface.

Can I use this with my existing AI workflow?

Yes. Since it's hosted on Vinkius, you connect your preferred AI client (like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf) once, and you get access to this AppDynamics MCP immediately.

How do I check for compliance issues?

You can list health rule violations and export health rules. This lets you monitor if your system is staying within defined operational thresholds and helps with auditing.

How can I check the average response time for a specific application?

You can use the get_metric_data capability. Provide the app_id and the metric_path (e.g., 'Overall Application Performance|Average Response Time (ms)') to retrieve precise performance data.

Can I see which server instances (nodes) are currently active in an application?

Yes! Use the list_nodes capability with the target app_id. It will return all individual server instances associated with that application.

Is it possible to audit health rules through the AI?

Absolutely. Use export_health_rules to retrieve the current configuration for an application, or list_health_rule_violations to see active issues.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Post-Incident Analysis

After an outage, ask the MCP to list health rule violations and retrieve metric data for the time window to pinpoint the exact failure point.

Capacity Planning

Use the MCP to list all applications and nodes, giving you a comprehensive map of the entire system footprint for resource planning.

User Access Auditing

Need to know who has access? Use the MCP to list all Controller users and create new accounts programmatically.

Debugging a Slow Feature

Instead of clicking through menus, ask the MCP to list business transactions and retrieve snapshots for the slow feature to find the bottleneck.

Automate a task

Put AppDynamics to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

AppDynamics works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AppDynamics to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 13 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AppDynamics, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AppDynamics. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work AppDynamics owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams who need deep, operational visibility into complex, distributed systems. It lets SREs and DevOps Engineers pull metrics and audit data conversationally, saving them the time of navigating multiple UI screens. Developers can use it directly in their IDE to inspect performance without leaving their workflow.

01
SREs & DevOps Engineers
Quickly check system health and metric rollups without navigating the Controller UI.
02
Developers
Inspect transaction snapshots and node performance directly from the IDE during debugging.
03
IT Operations
Automate health rule reporting and user auditing via conversational commands.
