This remote MCP server is maintained by Netdata, the upstream observability product owner. It serves Netdata Cloud users with metrics, logs, alerts, and machine-learning anomaly detection. The manifest lists no tool names or client compatibility, so those fields remain empty.

The Netdata MCP server provides real-time infrastructure observability through Netdata Cloud, covering metrics, logs, alerts, and machine-learning-based anomaly detection. It is the server listed in server.json and connects to Netdata Cloud over Streamable HTTP.

Tools

The tool list has not been reviewed yet.

Setup

Connect over Streamable HTTP to https://app.netdata.cloud/api/v1/mcp and provide Authorization: Bearer {NETDATA_CLOUD_API_TOKEN}. Create the token in app.netdata.cloud under User Settings > API Tokens with scope:mcp. The source does not provide a client-specific configuration format.

Fit and risk

Best for

  • DevOps and infrastructure teams using Netdata Cloud
  • Operators who need real-time monitoring, alerting, and anomaly analysis
  • Teams managing Linux, containerized, or Kubernetes environments

Not for

  • Client environments requiring a local stdio server
  • Users who do not use Netdata or cannot access Netdata Cloud
  • Workflows requiring undocumented write or infrastructure-management operations

Required permissions

  • Requires a Netdata Cloud API token
  • The token must have scope:mcp
  • The client must send authenticated requests to the Netdata Cloud MCP endpoint

Risks and side effects

  • The API token is a secret credential and should not be exposed
  • The server accesses monitoring data through Netdata Cloud, so organizational data-access requirements should be reviewed
  • The source does not document specific tools or write permissions; infrastructure changes should not be assumed

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify the MCP endpoint is https://app.netdata.cloud/api/v1/mcp
  2. Verify the Authorization header uses Bearer token format
  3. Verify the token was created in Netdata Cloud with scope:mcp
  4. Check that the client supports Streamable HTTP
  5. Confirm network access to Netdata Cloud

Use cases

Query infrastructure metrics and logs
Review monitoring alerts
Analyze machine-learning-detected anomalies
Assist with troubleshooting servers, containers, and Kubernetes environments
