About metoro-mcp-server
metoro-mcp-server exposes Metoro observability APIs to LLM applications, allowing users to ask questions about Kubernetes clusters using telemetry collected by Metoro.
Key features
- 01Exposes Metoro APIs to LLMs
- 02Uses Metoro telemetry for cluster context
- 03Connects through a Metoro account or demo token
- 04Built with the Golang MCP SDK
Use cases
- 01Ask questions about a Kubernetes cluster
- 02Explore telemetry from microservices running on Kubernetes
MCP support
An MCP server that exposes Metoro APIs to MCP clients, providing access to observability data about Kubernetes clusters.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEmetoro-mcp-server
This repository contains th Metoro MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server. This MCP Server allows you to interact with your Kubernetes cluster via the Claude Desktop App!
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
You can read more about the Model Context Protocol here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io
But in a nutshell
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.
What is Metoro?
Metoro is an observability platform designed for microservices running in Kubernetes and uses eBPF based instrumentation to generate deep telemetry without code changes. The data that is generated by the eBPF agents is sent to Metoro's backend to be stored and in the Metoro frontend using our apis.
This MCP server exposes those APIs to an LLM so you can ask your AI questions about your Kubernetes cluster.

How can I use Metoro MCP Server?
- Install the Claude Desktop App.
- Make sure you have Golang installed.
brew install gofor mac orsudo apt-get install golangfor ubuntu. - Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/metoro-io/metoro-mcp-server.git - Navigate to the repository directory:
cd metoro-mcp-server - Build the server executable:
go build -o metoro-mcp-server
If you already have a Metoro Account:
Copy your auth token from your Metoro account in Settings -> Users Settings.
Create a file in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json with the following contents:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metoro-mcp-server": {
"command": "<your path to Metoro MCP server go executable>/metoro-mcp-server",
"args": [],
"env": {
"METORO_AUTH_TOKEN" : "<your auth token>",
"METORO_API_URL": "https://us-east.metoro.io"
}
}
}
}
If you don't have a Metoro Account:
No worries, you can still play around using the Live Demo Cluster.
The included token is a demo token, publicly available for anyone to use.
Create a file in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json with the following contents:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metoro-mcp-server": {
"command": "<your path to Metoro MCP server go executable>/metoro-mcp-server",
"args": [],
"env": {
"METORO_AUTH_TOKEN" : "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjdXN0b21lcklkIjoiOThlZDU1M2QtYzY4ZC00MDRhLWFhZjItNDM2ODllNWJiMGUzIiwiZW1haWwiOiJ0ZXN0QGNocmlzYmF0dGFyYmVlLmNvbSIsImV4cCI6MTgyMTI0NzIzN30.7G6alDpcZh_OThYj293Jce5rjeOBqAhOlANR_Fl5auw",
"METORO_API_URL": "https://demo.us-east.metoro.io"
}
}
}
}
- Once you are done editing
claude_desktop_config.jsonsave the file and restart Claude Desktop app. - You should now see the Metoro MCP Server in the dropdown list of MCP Servers in the Claude Desktop App. You are ready to start using Metoro MCP Server with Claude Desktop App!
Built with
This server is built on top of our Golang MCP SDK.

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.
