How do I connect my Prometheus instance?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Prometheus Server URL and any required Auth Token. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start querying.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can the agent delete data from my Prometheus instance?

Yes, the agent can use the delete_series capability, but you must have the admin API enabled on your Prometheus server for this to work.

Does this MCP support complex PromQL queries?

Yes, the agent can evaluate both instant queries and range queries using standard PromQL expressions.

Can I check my Prometheus configuration through the agent?

Yes, the agent can retrieve your currently loaded YAML configuration using the get_status_config capability.

Can I run a PromQL query to get the current value of a metric?

Yes. Use the query capability 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 capability. 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 capability to create a snapshot of all current data on disk.

Connect Prometheus to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Turn raw time-series data into instant answers from your AI agent.

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 Troubleshooting

An SRE asks the agent to check for spikes in error rates to identify a failing service.

Resource Monitoring

A developer checks CPU or memory consumption trends over a specific time window.

Configuration Audits

A platform engineer verifies the currently loaded Prometheus YAML configuration.

Data Maintenance

An admin uses the agent to create data snapshots or clean up old series.

Automate a task

Put Prometheus 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

Prometheus 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 Prometheus 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 14 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 Prometheus, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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