What is the Hny MCP Server?

Model Context Protocol server for Honeycomb

What it actually does

A Model Context Protocol server for interacting with Honeycomb observability data. This server enables LLMs like Claude to directly analyze and query your Honeycomb datasets across multiple environments.

  • Query Honeycomb datasets across multiple environments
  • Run analytics queries with support for:
  • Multiple calculation types (COUNT, AVG, P95, etc.)
  • Breakdowns and filters
  • Time-based analysis
  • Monitor SLOs and their status (Enterprise only)

Configuration

  • Node.js 18+ - Honeycomb API key with full permissions: - Query access for analytics - Read access for SLOs and Triggers - Environment-level access for dataset operations Honeycomb MCP is effectively a complete alternative interface to Honeycomb, and thus you need broad permissions for the API.
