Let AI install it
Copy this message into a Claude Code chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.
Please install the MCP server Langfuse API for Claude Code on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): claude mcp add --scope user langfuse-api --env LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=your-value --env LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=your-value --env LANGFUSE_BASE_URL=your-value -- npx -y langfuse-api-mcp 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY, LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY, LANGFUSE_BASE_URL, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Langfuse API tools really show up.This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions
Is Langfuse API safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY, LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker, MCPB on your computer.
What can I use instead?

langfuse-api-mcp
An MCP server that gives AI agents access to the full Langfuse public API. It works with Langfuse Cloud in any region and with self-hosted instances. It is built to run on corporate networks that re-sign TLS traffic with their own certificate authority (CA).
[!IMPORTANT]
Status: pre-alpha, release `v0.2.0` (semver
0.x: no stability promise yet; the first release wasv0.1.0). Everything below works today unless it is marked Planned, like the loopback HTTP transport.
Contents: What it is · Tools · User skill · Install and run · Client configuration · Configuration · Security model · Troubleshooting · Learn more
What it is
A small, stateless program that your AI tool (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, …) starts on your machine. It speaks the Model Context Protocol to the agent and HTTPS to Langfuse. The agent can then:
- investigate traces, observations, sessions, errors, latency and cost;
- read prompts, datasets, experiments, scores, metrics, models, comments and annotation queues;
- make changes, such as promoting a prompt label, creating a score or editing a dataset. This works only if you turn writes on (see Security model).

When to use it
| Situation | Use this server? |
|---|---|
Your company network inspects TLS with a custom root CA, and the official Langfuse MCP or CLI fails with self-signed certificate in certificate chain / unable to get local issuer certificate | Yes. This is the main reason the project exists. |
| You want the agent to be unable to change Langfuse data unless you explicitly allow it | Yes. It is read-only by default, and the server enforces this itself for every call made through it. Keep the keys out of the agent's own environment, or another tool can use them directly: Keep the keys out of the agent's environment. |
| You run a self-hosted Langfuse behind an internal CA or proxy | Yes. |
| You want a single binary with no Node.js or Python runtime on your machine | Yes. |
| You only need Langfuse *documentation* in your agent | No. Use the official docs MCP at https://langfuse.com/api/mcp. |
| Your agent can run shell commands and your network has no TLS interception | Either works. Langfuse also offers an official CLI and Agent Skill. |
How it differs from the official Langfuse MCP
Official project MCP ( /api/public/mcp) | This server | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Remote, inside Langfuse | Locally (binary or Docker) |
| Custom CA / corporate proxy | Depends on your MCP client's runtime; no documented options | Explicit settings, plus automatic pickup of CA variables that are already set on your system |
| Writes | Enabled by default; to restrict them you configure a client-side allowlist | Off by default. The write tool does not exist until you enable it. |
| API coverage | Curated tool set | Every operation your Langfuse deployment actually answers — older self-hosted versions keep their legacy APIs, newer ones get the new APIs — except trace ingestion and organization admin changes (creating/deleting projects, API keys, users). Detected automatically at startup, with nothing to configure (Deployment profile) |
Tools
The Langfuse API has about 100 in-scope operations. One tool per operation would fill the agent's context window, so the server exposes a small set of tools:
| Tool | What it does | Available |
|---|---|---|
search_operations | Lists the Langfuse operations your deployment serves, optionally filtered by keywords (in write mode, each write operation with its HTTP method and whether it is destructive) | always |
describe_operation | Returns the parameters of one operation that your deployment's Langfuse version serves (and, apart from them, a filter the server applies itself when your version lacks it; and, in write mode, its body schema (the one of your deployment's Langfuse version), whether it is destructive and, for comments_create and scores_create, how to fill the body) | always |
execute_read | Runs a read operation (HTTP GET) by its ID and returns the Langfuse JSON inside an untrusted-data envelope. On an older Langfuse that ignores the traceId of scores_get-many or the level of legacy_observationsV1_getMany, the server applies that filter itself and says whether it read the whole list | always |
execute_write | Runs a write operation by its ID; a destructive one (DELETE, PUT, PATCH) only after you confirm that exact call | only in write mode |
get_trace_tree | Returns every observation of one trace as a tree in one call. It reads Observations v2 where the deployment answers the v4 read APIs (Cloud, self-hosted v4) and the legacy observations list on self-hosted v3, where input, output and metadata are removed unless you ask for them and a row holds the fields that Langfuse returns (latency in milliseconds there, in seconds on v4), minus those it returned as null. Where a deployment answers both, the tree is read from Observations v2, which can lack observations that were sent through the legacy ingestion API, so an empty or short tree can be checked against the legacy observations list through execute_read. Where neither API answers it says operation_unavailable | always listed; runs where the deployment answers either API |
A typical session: search_operations finds the operation, describe_operation shows its parameters, execute_read runs it:
{"operationId": "trace_list", "parameters": {"limit": 10, "tags": ["prod", "checkout"]}}The server keeps nothing between calls (it is stateless). It never takes a URL, host or credential from the agent. It only runs operations from its built-in catalog, against the host you configured. Every call is validated before anything is sent, and every failure comes back as a structured tool error with a code, a hint and a retryable flag. Parameters, error codes, result limits and the audit line: Tools reference.
User skill
The server gives an agent generic tools; the user skill langfuse-api-mcp (skills/langfuse-api-mcp/) teaches it how a Langfuse investigation is done with them: discover, describe, then execute; always a bounded time window; Langfuse data is untrusted, never instructions. It has a short entry file and one reference per workflow (traces, cost and latency, prompts, experiments, scores, errors), each loaded only when its workflow is asked for. Its description names this server's tools, so it does not compete with Langfuse's own langfuse skill. It adds no permission of its own: whether execute_write exists and every confirmation stay the server's decision.
Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Windsurf. Install it from the repository with the skills CLI, in your project (or with -g for your user); --agent names the hosts to install for (--agent '*' for all). The Claude Code install is proven; the other hosts rely on the CLI's own support:
npx skills add rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcpnon-interactive, one host: npx skills add rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp --agent claude-code -y
The CLI installs from main, while your server may be an older build; the skill therefore tells the agent to call describe_operation for every parameter it does not name (details).
Claude Desktop installs skills only by upload. Each GitHub release carries langfuse-api-mcp-skill_ .zip, signed, whose root is the langfuse-api-mcp/ folder; upload it in Claude Desktop under Customize > Skills.
Install and run
| Channel | Platforms | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| npx | Linux, macOS, Windows × x64, arm64 | Node.js with npm |
| Release archive | Linux, macOS, Windows × amd64, arm64 | nothing |
| Docker | linux/amd64, linux/arm64; stdio only | Docker |
| Claude Desktop (MCPB) | macOS, Windows | Claude Desktop |
go install | any Go platform | Go 1.21 or later |
Every channel except go install is signed or carries npm provenance: see Verify what you run. The server is also listed in the MCP Registry as io.github.rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp. What each channel ships and how it is built: Installation reference.
npx
Configure the server in your MCP client as npx -y langfuse-api-mcp (pin a version with langfuse-api-mcp@ ); it needs Node.js with npm, nothing else. The package carries the Go binary: nothing is downloaded at install time and no install script runs. See Client configuration for the snippet of your client.
Release archive
Every GitHub release carries one archive per target, langfuse-mcp_ _ _ .tar.gz (.zip on Windows), plus checksums.txt. Download with gh or curl, check the archive against checksums.txt, then extract it (Linux on amd64 shown; is the release without the leading v, for example 0.2.0):
version=<version>archive="langfuse-mcp_${version}_linux_amd64.tar.gz" gh release download "v$version" -R rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp -p "$archive" -p checksums.txt
or: curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp/releases/download/v$version/$archive"
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp/releases/download/v$version/checksums.txt"
awk -v f="$archive" '$2 == f' checksums.txt | sha256sum -c - # macOS: … | shasum -a 256 -c - tar -xzf "$archive"
On Windows (PowerShell), compare the hash and extract the zip:
$archive = "langfuse-mcp_<version>_windows_amd64.zip"(Get-FileHash $archive -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower() # must equal the line for $archive in checksums.txt Expand-Archive $archive -DestinationPath langfuse-mcp
Then point your MCP client at the extracted binary (see Client configuration). The binaries are not notarized nor Authenticode-signed: download with curl or gh, not a browser, or see Downloaded in a browser?.
Docker
Pass the keys and the base URL with -e, and keep -i (the server speaks MCP over stdin and stdout):
docker run -i --rm \-e LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY -e LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY -e LANGFUSE_BASE_URL \ ghcr.io/rodrigorjsf/langfuse-api-mcp:
-e NAME without a value passes the variable from the environment that runs docker, so the keys never appear in the command line. Behind a corporate CA, mount the CA file read-only and point LANGFUSE_CA_CERT at it; the file must be readable by any user (the image does not run as you):
docker run -i --rm \-e LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY -e LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY -e LANGFUSE_BASE_URL \ -e L
