MCP Server for Perses
MCP Server for Perses. That is what the for perses mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
The Perses MCP Server is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that enables the LLM hosts (OpenCode, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor) to interact with the Perses Application in a standardized way.
The server publishes 9 tools. What each one is for:
Flag — DefaultOpenCode — The OpenCode tool exposed by this serverPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverProjects — The Projects tool exposed by this serverDashboards — For dashboard configuration, see Perses DashboardsDatasources — The Datasources tool exposed by this serverRoles — The Roles tool exposed by this serverPlugins — The Plugins tool exposed by this serverVariables — The Variables tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Configuration is passed through the environment: PERMCP_PERSES_SERVER_NATIVE_AUTH_LOGIN, PERMCP_PERSES_SERVER_NATIVE_AUTH_PASSWORD, YOUR_TOKEN, PERMCP_PERSES_SERVER_URL, PERSES_SERVER_URL. 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.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. For Perses's toolset — Flag, OpenCode, Prerequisites and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by perses; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
