About Faultline
Faultline’s remote MCP server lets DevOps and SRE teams inspect infrastructure health, manage incidents, check on-call schedules, and run approved runbooks through compatible AI agents. It is hosted by Faultline and requires no local installation.
Key features
- 01Service status and recent checks
- 02Incident inspection and updates
- 03On-call schedule lookup
- 04Latency anomaly review
- 05Incident action recommendations
- 06Approved runbook execution
Use cases
- 01Check service health during diagnosis
- 02Acknowledge or resolve incidents
- 03Find the current on-call responder
- 04Run a confirmed infrastructure runbook
MCP support
The hosted server exposes Faultline monitoring and incident-management tools to MCP clients over Streamable HTTP. Authentication uses an API key sent in a request header.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEFaultline MCP Server
Faultline is infrastructure monitoring and incident
management for DevOps/SRE teams. This repo documents faultline-mcp —
Faultline's remote MCP server, which lets AI agents (Claude, Claude Code,
Claude Desktop, or anything MCP-compatible) operate Faultline: check
infrastructure health, inspect and act on incidents, look up who's on call,
and run approved runbooks.
This repo is documentation only. The server is hosted by Faultline at
https://mcp.fltln.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport) — there's nothing to
install or run yourself.
Setup
- Create an API key in Faultline: Settings → API Keys. Keys look like
flt_.... - Point your MCP client at
https://mcp.fltln.io/mcp, sending the key as eitherX-API-Key: flt_...orAuthorization: Bearer flt_....
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http faultline-mcp https://mcp.fltln.io/mcp \
--header "X-API-Key: flt_..."
Clients that take raw JSON config (Claude Desktop, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"faultline": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.fltln.io/mcp",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "flt_..." }
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_services | Monitor inventory with current status (optional status filter) |
get_service | One service + its 10 most recent checks (for diagnosis) |
list_incidents | Open incidents (or status: "resolved" for history) |
get_incident | Full incident record: timeline, AI summary, post-mortem |
acknowledge_incident | Acknowledge an incident — stops further escalation |
resolve_incident | Resolve with an optional note (recorded on the timeline) |
who_is_on_call | Current on-call per schedule, with shift end time |
list_anomalies | Recent learned-baseline latency anomalies (observed vs baseline, z-score, hours sustained, auto-opened incident if any) |
diagnose_incident | Recommend the next action (run runbook / escalate / resolve / wait) + candidate runbooks. Analysis only — changes nothing |
run_runbook | Execute one chosen runbook against an incident — mutates infrastructure (can restart/scale services) |
Security
- Scoped to your API key. The server never stores your key — it's used only for the duration of each request, proxied straight through to Faultline's API.
- Approval-gated mutation.
run_runbookis the only tool that changes infrastructure. Its description instructs the calling agent to use it only afterdiagnose_incidentrecommended it and you've explicitly confirmed. - Tenant-isolated. Every request is scoped to the tenant that owns the API key — one key can never see or affect another tenant's data.

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.
