What is Prometheus MCP Server?

The Prometheus MCP Server is a tool that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to access and analyze data stored in Prometheus databases. It acts as an intermediary, providing a structured interface for LLMs to query and retrieve metrics, enabling them to perform tasks such as data analysis, usage search, and complex querying.

How to use Prometheus MCP Server?

To use the server, you need to set up a Python virtual environment, install the required packages from requirements.txt, and configure the MCP client (like Claude Desktop) with the server's command and environment variables. Alternatively, you can start the server standalone using uv or python3 server.py.
