About RCA-MCP
RCA-MCP is an MCP server for causal root-cause analysis, aimed at teams investigating system or business issues. It combines graph construction, multiple RCA model families, PyRCA algorithms, model consensus, and report generation.
Key features
- 01Causal graph construction
- 0210 RCA model families
- 03Three PyRCA algorithms
- 04Multi-model consensus
- 05PDF, HTML, Excel, and Markdown reports
Use cases
- 01Investigating causes behind incidents
- 02Comparing RCA model findings
- 03Generating analysis reports
MCP support
It exposes 56 root-cause analysis tools to MCP clients, including graph, model, consensus, and report-generation capabilities. The connector can be configured with an API URL and key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

What is RCA-MCP?
The only MCP server purpose-built for causal Root Cause Analysis. 56 tools covering causal graph construction, 10 RCA model families plus 3 dedicated PyRCA algorithms (Salesforce PyRCA, BSD-3-Clause), multi-model consensus, and PDF/HTML/Excel/Markdown report generation. Works with Claude, Ollama, Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, LangChain, Cursor — 10 providers.
Quick Start (2 minutes)
rca-mcp-connector is a published PyPI package — no clone needed. Point any MCP
client at it with uvx (or pip install rca-mcp-connector if you'd rather manage
the install yourself):
uvx rca-mcp-connector
Get a free API key at rcamcp.datalizedglb.cloud — no credit
card required — then set RCA_MCP_API_KEY in your MCP client's config (examples
below).
Claude Code Setup
Add to .mcp.json in your workspace root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"rca-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["rca-mcp-connector"],
"env": {
"RCA_MCP_API_URL": "https://rcamcp-production.up.railway.app",
"RCA_MCP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Ollama Setup
go install github.com/mark3labs/mcphost@latest
mcphost -m ollama:qwen3:14b --config providers/mcp-servers.json

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
