Overview

What is pmcp?

pmcp is a Golang-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Prometheus that enables natural language interactions with Prometheus metrics and queries. Built with Go 1.23+, it provides a type-safe interface fully compatible with the Prometheus HTTP API v1 and works with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop.

How to use pmcp?

Install via Docker, pre-built binary, building from source, or go install. Run with prometheus-mcp-server --prom-addr="http://localhost:9090" for default stdio transport, or specify --transport=http and --mcp-addr for HTTP/SSE. See command line flags: -prom-addr, -transport, -mcp-addr, -help, -version.

Key features of pmcp

  • Golang implementation for performance and type safety
  • Complete Prometheus HTTP API v1 coverage
  • Instant and range query execution
  • Metadata, target, rule, and alert discovery
  • TSDB administration (snapshots, series deletion, tombstones)
  • Multiple transports: HTTP, SSE, and stdio

Use cases of pmcp

  • Query Prometheus metrics using natural language through MCP clients
  • Monitor Prometheus targets, rules, and alerting configurations
  • Retrieve historical metric data over defined time ranges
  • Manage TSDB operations like snapshots and series deletion
  • Integrate Prometheus with MCP-compatible desktop or web clients

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the requirements to run pmcp?

Go 1.23.0 or higher, a running Prometheus server (v2.x), and a compatible MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop).

2

What transport options are available?

pmcp supports three transports: `stdio` (default for desktop clients), `http`, and `sse` (SSE is deprecated). Use the `--transport` flag to choose.

3

Does pmcp support all Prometheus API endpoints?

Yes, pmcp maintains 100% compatibility with the Prometheus HTTP API v1. It covers queries, metadata, rules, alerts, status, TSDB administration, and management APIs.

4

Can I use pmcp with Claude Desktop?

Yes, pmcp is designed for seamless communication with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop, typically using the stdio transport when launched as a subprocess.
