Common questions

Is Prometheus MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: PROMETHEUS_URL, PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD, PROMETHEUS_TOKEN

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 –, and the latest version (1.6.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Prometheus MCP Server

Give AI assistants the power to query your Prometheus metrics.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to your Prometheus metrics and queries through standardized MCP interfaces, allowing AI assistants to execute PromQL queries and analyze your metrics data.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Prometheus server accessible from your environment
MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Installation Methods

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

"mcpServers": { "prometheus": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "PROMETHEUS_URL", "ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest" ], "env": { "PROMETHEUS_URL": " " } } } }

</details>

Claude Code

Install via the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add prometheus --env PROMETHEUS_URL=http://your-prometheus:9090 -- docker run -i --rm -e PROMETHEUS_URL ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest

VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings in the respective IDE:

"prometheus": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "PROMETHEUS_URL", "ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest" ], "env": { "PROMETHEUS_URL": " " } } }

</details>

Docker Desktop

The easiest way to run the Prometheus MCP server is through Docker Desktop:

Via MCP Catalog: Visit the Prometheus MCP Server on Docker Hub and click the button above

Via MCP Toolkit: Use Docker Desktop's MCP Toolkit extension to discover and install the server

Configure your connection using environment variables (see Configuration Options below)

Manual Docker Setup

Run directly with Docker:

# With environment variables

docker run -i --rm \ -e PROMETHEUS_URL="http://your-prometheus:9090" \ ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest

With authentication

docker run -i --rm \ -e PROMETHEUS_URL="http://your-prometheus:9090" \ -e PROMETHEUS_USERNAME="admin" \ -e PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD="password" \ ghcr.io/pab1it0/prometheus-mcp-server:latest

</details>

Helm Chart (Kubernetes)

Deploy to Kubernetes using the Helm chart from the OCI registry:

helm install prometheus-mcp-server \

oci://ghcr.io/pab1it0/charts/prometheus-mcp-server \ --version 1.1.1 \ --set prometheus.url="http://prometheus:9090"

With authentication:

helm install prometheus-mcp-server \

oci://ghcr.io/pab1it0/charts/prometheus-mcp-server \ --version 1.1.1 \ --set prometheus.url="http://prometheus:9090" \ --set auth.username="admin" \ --set auth.password="secret"

With a custom values file:

helm install prometheus-mcp-server \

oci://ghcr.io/pab1it0/charts/prometheus-mcp-server \ --version 1.1.1 \ -f values.yaml

See the chart values for all available configuration options.
