Frequently asked questions

What is the Honeycomb MCP server?

The Honeycomb MCP server is an Monitoring Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents query Honeycomb observability data and traces for debugging production from AI agents. It exposes Honeycomb's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Honeycomb MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install honeycomb` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @honeycombio/mcp-server` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Honeycomb MCP free?

Yes. The Honeycomb MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Honeycomb account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Honeycomb MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.

What can I do with Honeycomb MCP?

Once installed, your AI agent can query Honeycomb observability data and traces for debugging production from AI agents directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Honeycomb operations, inspect results, chain Honeycomb with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive monitoring tasks without leaving your editor.
