What is the Chronosphere MCP MCP server?

If you already use Chronosphere MCP, the chronosphere mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. This project uses semver for release versions. We have not graduated to 1.0, so breaking changes may occur for minor version bumps.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Format — comma-separated list of MCP tool names (the Tool Name column in the Available Tools table)
  • Notes — whitespace is ignored; unknown tool names are ignored
  • Group — Tool Name
  • configapi — get_classic_dashboard
  • events — get_events_metadata
  • logs — get_log
  • metrics — list_prometheus_label_names
  • metric_usage — list_metric_usages_by_label_name
  • monitors — list_monitor_statuses
  • traces — list_traces
  • Auth — You can use either a Chronosphere API token or OAuth with the Chronosphere MCP
  • Releases — We use goreleaser to manage releases

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: CHRONOSPHERE_ORG_NAME, CHRONOSPHERE_API_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Where it fits

This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Chronosphere MCP's toolset — Format, Notes, Group and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by chronosphereio; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Chronosphere MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 12 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Chronosphere MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

AuthYou can use either a [Chronosphere API token](https://docs.chronosphere.io/tooling/api-info#create-an-api-token) or OAuth with the Chronosphere MCP server. To use MCP with OAuth, the MCP client must support OAuth.
ReleasesWe use [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) to manage releases.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Chronosphere MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 12 tools (Format, Notes, Group, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Chronosphere MCP directly.
