How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius, enter your Honeycomb API credentials, and then connect your client like Claude or Cursor with one click.

Which AI clients are compatible?

This MCP works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Do I need to know query DSL to use this?

No. You can use natural language to tell your agent to run queries, and it will handle the underlying specifications for you.

Can I use this for incident response?

Yes. You can use it to run queries for troubleshooting and to create markers that annotate your timeline during an outage.

Does Vinkius host the connection?

Yes. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the credentials so you don't have to run it locally.

How do I find my Honeycomb API Key?

Log in to Honeycomb, go to Team Settings, and navigate to the API Keys section. You will be able to generate and copy your Team API Key from there. Ensure you also note your account's region.

Which region should I select?

If your browser URL starts with ui.eu1.honeycomb.io, select EU. Otherwise, select US. Using the correct region is required for the integration to connect to the right API cluster.

Can I run a query and get the data back?

Yes! Use the run_query capability with a valid query ID. It will return a result ID, which you can then pass to the get_query_result capability once the analysis is complete.

Is the integration secure for telemetry data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Honeycomb Team API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials and queried data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

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

Incident Response

An SRE uses the agent to quickly run queries and add markers to explain an outage timeline.

Deployment Monitoring

A developer checks dataset trends immediately after a push to see if performance changed.

Schema Discovery

An engineer asks the agent to list columns to understand what telemetry fields are available.

Dashboard Auditing

A lead uses the agent to list all shared boards and triggers across the organization.

Automate a task

Put Honeycomb 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

Honeycomb 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 Honeycomb 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 12 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 Honeycomb, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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