How do I install the scouter mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `SCOUTER_COLLECTOR_HOST`, `SCOUTER_COLLECTOR_PORT`, `SCOUTER_USER`, `SCOUTER_PASSWORD`, `SCOUTER_TZ` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Scouter MCP Server?

Query Scouter APM (objects, counters, XLog transactions) over stdio via a Scouter collector.

What it actually does

A stdio MCP server that connects directly to a Scouter Collector over TCP and queries XLogs, counters, and objects. Its purpose is to let an AI quickly explore Scouter metrics and diagnose root causes. Each result carries txid / gxid / objName / endTimeIso, which you can use as keys to cross-analyze with other observability tools such as OpenSearch or Datadog.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
