Control your Dynatrace UFO device through MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop.
Connect Ufo to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Control your Dynatrace UFO device through MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop. The ufo mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
configureLighting — Set entire UFO lighting (top ring, bottom ring, logo) in one commandsendRawApi — Send raw API commands directly to the UFOplayEffect — Play a named lighting effect from the librarystopEffect — Stop current effect and resume previous one from the stackgetLedState — Query current LED statelistEffects — Show all available effects (built-in and custom)Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverufo.local if mDNS is available)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.
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. Ufo's toolset — configureLighting, sendRawApi, playEffect and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by rhoegg; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
