[vm-community-icon] VictoriaMetrics MCP Server
[Latest Release] [Trust Score] [License] [Slack] [X] [Reddit]
The implementation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for VictoriaMetrics.
This provides access to your VictoriaMetrics instance and seamless integration with VictoriaMetrics APIs and documentation. It can give you a comprehensive interface for monitoring, observability, and debugging tasks related to your VictoriaMetrics instances, enable advanced automation and interaction capabilities for engineers and tools.
Features
This MCP server allows you to use almost all read-only APIs of VictoriaMetrics, i.e. all functions available in VMUI:
- Querying metrics and exploring data (even drawing graphs if your client supports it)
- Listing and exporting available metrics, labels, labels values and entire series
- Analyzing and testing your alerting and recording rules and alerts
- Showing parameters of your VictoriaMetrics instance
- Exploring cardinality of your data and metrics usage statistics
- Analyzing, tracing, prettifying and explaining your queries
- Debugging your relabeling rules, downsampling and retention policy configurations
- Integration with VictoriaMetrics Cloud
- UI with setup instrinctions and tools inspection on the root endpoint (only in Streamable HTTP mode)
In addition, the MCP server contains embedded up-to-date documentation and is able to search it without online access.
More details about the exact available tools and prompts can be found in the Usage section.
You can combine functionality of tools, docs search in your prompts and invent great usage scenarios for your VictoriaMetrics instance. Just check the Dialog example section to see how it can work. And please note the fact that the quality of the MCP Server and its responses depends very much on the capabilities of your client and the quality of the model you are using.
You can also combine the MCP server with other observability or doc search related MCP Servers and get even more powerful results.
Try without installation
There is a publicly available instance of the VictoriaMetrics MCP Server that you can use to test the features without installing it:
Attention! This URL is not supposed to be opened in a browser, it is intended to be used in MCP clients.
It's available in Streamable HTTP mode and configured to work with Public VictoriaMetrics Playground.

Dialog example
Here is an example of a real dialog with the Assistant using the MCP Server with Claude Desktop, configured to work with the public playground instance. It shows how the server can help in practice.
👤 You: What tenants are available in my VM?
🤖 In your VictoriaMetrics instance, the following tenants are available
0:0(default tenant),1:0,10:0,100:0
👤 You: From now on, please use only default tenant
🤖 I understand. From now on, I'll use only the default tenant (0:0) for all operations with your VictoriaMetrics instance.
👤 You: Which metrics do we have?
🤖 There are many metrics available in your VictoriaMetrics instance. The list includes metrics from various systems and components, such as:
- System metrics (
node_,machine_, etc.),- Kubernetes metrics (
kube_,container_,apiserver_, etc.),- VictoriaMetrics-specific metrics (
vm_,vmagent_,vmalert_, etc.),- Go runtime metrics (
go_),- Prometheus-related metrics (
scrape_,promhttp_),- Various application metrics (
argocd_,alertmanager_).This is a comprehensive list of over 2000 metrics that are available for querying. Is there a specific type of metric you're interested in exploring further?
👤 You: Ok, let's work with kubernetes metrics from now on. Please show me which of these metrics never queried?
🤖 Based on the results, I can see that there are two Kubernetes metrics that have never been queried (query count is 0):
kube_persistentvolumeclaim_deletion_timestamp- This metric provides information about when PersistentVolumeClaims were marked for deletion.kube_pod_init_container_status_last_terminated_reason- This metric shows the reason why init containers in pods were last terminated.These metrics might be valuable for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes:
- The PVC deletion timestamp metric could help track deletion patterns or identify stuck PVCs.
- The init container termination reason metric could help identify common failure patterns in your initialization containers.
Would you like me to explain more about what these metrics track or suggest some useful queries to start monitoring them?
👤 You: Yes, please. And also, can you create relabeling rules to stop ingesting these metrics?
🤖 I'll create a relabel configuration to exclude these never-queried metrics from collection. This will help reduce storage and processing overhead. Here's the relabel configuration you can add to your VictoriaMetrics scrape configuration:
This configuration will:
- Look at each metric's name (the
__name__label)- Check if it matches either of the specified metrics
- Drop the metrics that match, preventing them from being collected and stored
You can add this to your VictoriaMetrics configuration file or to the relevant scrape job configurations in your Prometheus configuration if you're using Prometheus as a scraper for VictoriaMetrics. If you want to test this relabel configuration before implementing it, you can use the metric relabel debug tool to see how it would affect your metrics.
👤 You: Yes, please debug this relabel config on real time series to see how it would affect my metrics
🤖 Perfect! The relabel config works as expected:
- The first two test cases show that both
kube_persistentvolumeclaim_deletion_timestampandkube_pod_init_container_status_last_terminated_reasonmetrics are correctly dropped (resulting labels are empty{}).- The third test case confirms that other metrics like
kube_pod_status_phaseare preserved and not affected by our drop rule.You can confidently add this relabel configuration to your VictoriaMetrics or Prometheus configuration to stop collecting these unused metrics. This will save storage space and reduce processing overhead without affecting your current monitoring capabilities.
👤 You: But i'm using vmagent resource of VictoriaMetrics operator, could you please give me part of specification for my agent with this relabel config?
🤖 You're right, since you're using the VictoriaMetrics Operator and the VMAgent custom resource, the configuration needs to be in the appropriate format for that CR. Here's how you can add the relabel configuration to your VMAgent specification:
Key points:
- In the VMAgent spec, you use
inlineRelabelConfigfor inline relabeling rules- The field is called
sourceLabels(notsource_labelsas in Prometheus config)- This is a global relabeling that will be applied to all metrics before they're stored
👤 You: I decided not to remove those metrics, but just lower the sample rate for them using Downsampling. What downsampling parameters i have now?
🤖 I can see that you currently have the following downsampling configuration:
This means:
- Data newer than 7 days is kept at its original resolution
- Data between 7-30 days old is downsampled to 1-minute resolution
- Data between 30-180 days old is downsampled to 5-minute resolution
- Data older than 180 days is downsampled to 30-minute resolution
Now, if you want to add specific downsampling rules for those rarely-queried metrics, you can use the downsampling filters debug tool to test how new rules would work. Let's test a configuration where we apply more aggressive downsampling to those specific metrics:
...getting series and using downsampling filter debugger...
Great! Now our test is working correctly. Based on the current configuration and our testing, here's a suggested downsampling configuration for your VMAgent CR that would apply more aggressive downsampling to those rarely-queried metrics:
This configuration:
- Applies 10-minute resolution downsampling for the rarely-queried metrics after just 1 day
- Maintains your existing downsampling policy for all other metrics
The order of the downsampling rules is important - more specific rules should be listed first.
During this dialog, the assistant was using the following tools:
tenantsto get the list of available tenantsdocumentationto get information about functionality and data formatsmetricsto get the list of available metricsmetric_statisticsto get the information about metrics usageseriesto get the time series for debuggingmetric_relabel_debugto debug relabeling rulesflagsto get the information about instance parametersdownsampling_filters_debugto debug downsampling configuration
But you can use any other tools and combine them in your own way.
Monitoring
In SSE and HTTP modes the MCP Server provides metrics in Prometheus format (see endpoints) and you can find in repo simple grafana dashboard for these metrics.
FAQ
Why is the MCP server using more resources than I would expect from a simple API proxy?
The server contains an embedded vector database with VictoriaMetrics documentation and blog posts for the documentation tool.
It helps to answer complex questions about VictoriaMetrics without providing all data to LLM.
This is the main source of resource usage. To reduce it, add documentation to MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS environment variable to completely disable the vector database loading.
How to use one MCP server instance for several VictoriaMetrics instances?
You can use MCP_PASSTHROUGH_HEADERS parameter in the MCP Server together with Header-based routing in vmauth to route MCP calls between instances based on HTTP header values from your MCP client config.
