A Go implementation of the MCP server for Splunk. Supports STDIO and SSE (Server-Sent Events HTTP API). Uses github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go SDK. The splunk mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 5 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
list_splunk_saved_searches — Parameters:list_splunk_alerts — Parameters:list_splunk_fired_alerts — Parameters:list_splunk_indexes — Parameters:list_splunk_macros — Parameters:Setup 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.
You will need 3 environment variables: SPLUNK_URL, SPLUNK_TOKEN, YOUR_SESSION_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Splunk's toolset — list_splunk_saved_searches, list_splunk_alerts, list_splunk_fired_alerts and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jkosik; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
