The Atatus MCP server links your Atatus observability data directly to AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor. Simply ask a question in plain English, and your assistant will fetch the answer straight from your Atatus account. This means you can skip clicking through dashboards or learning complex query syntax.

Instead of manually navigating to the Errors tab, applying filters, and reading through stack traces, you can simply ask:

"Are there any unhealthy Kubernetes workloads right now?"

"Why is the checkout-service slow this week?"

"What did we deploy in the last 6 hours, and did it break anything?"

Your AI assistant will locate the relevant data, trace the issue from cause to effect, and deliver a clear answer in seconds.

What you can ask

The server equips your assistant with 44 tools spanning six monitoring domains, all mapping directly to the telemetry data you already collect in Atatus.

Category Tools Ask things like
APM / Application 14 "How healthy is order-service?", "Which transactions are slowest?", "Did the deploy break anything?"
Kubernetes 12 "What's unhealthy in the cluster?", "Why is this pod failing?", "Any pods stuck pending?"
Infrastructure 9 "Which hosts are inactive?", "Top processes on app-prod-1 by CPU?", "Is Redis monitoring active?"
Logs 1 "Show me error logs from host Zenitsu in the last 7 days."
Distributed Tracing 5 "Find traces slower than 2s", "Show me the flame chart for this trace", "Show the service map."
AI-Powered Analysis 3 "Summarise the log patterns", "What's the K8s event storm about?", "Where should I optimise?"

For a complete breakdown of each tool, including its specific function and sample questions, see the Tool Reference.

Supported clients

The MCP server works with any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP. Documented, ready-to-paste setups:
