What is Metoro MCP Server?

Metoro MCP Server is a tool that allows you to query and interact with Kubernetes environments monitored by Metoro using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the Claude Desktop App. It connects Metoro’s observability data with an LLM to enable AI-driven insights into Kubernetes clusters.

How to use Metoro MCP Server?

1. Install the Claude Desktop App from claude.ai/download.
2. Install Go (brew install go for macOS or sudo apt-get install golang for Ubuntu).
3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/metoro-io/metoro-mcp-server.git
4. Build the server: go build -o metoro-mcp-server
5. Configure the MCP Server:

• If you have a Metoro account, add your auth token in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
• If you don’t have an account, use the Live Demo Cluster by including the provided demo token.

6. Restart the Claude Desktop App and select the Metoro MCP Server to start querying your Kubernetes cluster.

Key features of Metoro MCP Server?

• AI-powered Kubernetes Insights: Query Metoro’s observability data directly from Claude Desktop.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration: Standardized LLM-to-data-source connectivity.
• Demo Mode Support: No Metoro account required; use the provided demo token.
• Seamless Setup: Pre-configured for the Claude Desktop App.

Use cases of Metoro MCP Server?

1. Debugging Microservices: Ask Claude questions about pod behavior or performance bottlenecks.
2. Cluster Monitoring: Generate real-time Kubernetes insights using AI.
3. Demo Exploration: Experiment with Metoro’s telemetry data without an account.

FAQ from Metoro MCP Server?

• What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol for integrating LLMs with external data sources, enabling seamless context sharing.

• What is Metoro?

Metoro is an observability platform for Kubernetes that uses eBPF for deep telemetry without code changes.

• Do I need a Metoro account to use this?

No, you can use the demo cluster for testing.

• How accurate are the AI-driven insights?

Accuracy depends on Metoro’s data quality and the clarity of your queries, but it’s designed for reliable interactions.

• Is the demo token secure?

The demo token is publicly available for testing and has limited permissions.

This repository contains th Metoro MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server. This MCP Server allows you to interact with your Kubernetes cluster via the Claude Desktop App!

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

You can read more about the Model Context Protocol here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io

But in a nutshell

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.

What is Metoro?

Metoro is an observability platform designed for microservices running in Kubernetes and uses eBPF based instrumentation to generate deep telemetry without code changes. The data that is generated by the eBPF agents is sent to Metoro's backend to be stored and in the Metoro frontend using our apis.

This MCP server exposes those APIs to an LLM so you can ask your AI questions about your Kubernetes cluster.

How can I use Metoro MCP Server?

1. Install the Claude Desktop App.
2. Make sure you have Golang installed. brew install go for mac or sudo apt-get install golang for ubuntu.
3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/metoro-io/metoro-mcp-server.git
4. Navigate to the repository directory: cd metoro-mcp-server
5. Build the server executable: go build -o metoro-mcp-server

If you already have a Metoro Account:

Copy your auth token from your Metoro account in Settings -> Users Settings. Create a file in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json with the following contents:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metoro-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/metoro-mcp-server", "args": [], "env": { "METORO_AUTH_TOKEN" : "", "METORO_API_URL": "https://us-east.metoro.io" } } } } ``` ### If you don't have a Metoro Account: No worries, you can still play around using the [Live Demo Cluster](https://demo.us-east.metoro.io/). The included token is a demo token, publicly available for anyone to use. Create a file in `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` with the following contents: ```json { "mcpServers": { "metoro-mcp-server": { "command": "/metoro-mcp-server", "args": [], "env": { "METORO_AUTH_TOKEN" : "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjdXN0b21lcklkIjoiOThlZDU1M2QtYzY4ZC00MDRhLWFhZjItNDM2ODllNWJiMGUzIiwiZW1haWwiOiJ0ZXN0QGNocmlzYmF0dGFyYmVlLmNvbSIsImV4cCI6MTgyMTI0NzIzN30.7G6alDpcZh_OThYj293Jce5rjeOBqAhOlANR_Fl5auw", "METORO_API_URL": "https://demo.us-east.metoro.io" } } } } ``` 4. Once you are done editing `claude_desktop_config.json` save the file and restart Claude Desktop app. 5. You should now see the Metoro MCP Server in the dropdown list of MCP Servers in the Claude Desktop App. You are ready to start using Metoro MCP Server with Claude Desktop App! ## Built with This server is built on top of our [Golang MCP SDK](https://github.com/metoro-io/mcp-golang).
