Frequently asked questions

What is the Prometheus MCP server?

The Prometheus 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 metrics and alerts. It exposes Prometheus's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Prometheus MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install prometheus` 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 prometheus-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Prometheus MCP free?

Yes. The Prometheus MCP server is free and open source. You may still need a Prometheus account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Prometheus 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 Prometheus MCP?

Once installed, your AI agent can query metrics and alerts directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Prometheus operations, inspect results, chain Prometheus with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive monitoring tasks without leaving your editor.
