Metoro MCP Server

What is Metoro MCP Server about?

The server acts as a bridge between the Claude Desktop App (or any LLM client supporting MCP) and Metoro's observability platform. By running the server, LLMs can retrieve real‑time telemetry, service topology, and performance data from a Kubernetes cluster without writing custom code.

How to use Metoro MCP Server?

1. Install Go and clone the repository.
2. Build the executable with go build -o metoro-mcp-server.
3. Create or edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json to point to the built binary and supply environment variables:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "metoro-mcp-server": {
         "command": "<path>/metoro-mcp-server",
         "args": [],
         "env": {
           "METORO_AUTH_TOKEN": "<your token>",
           "METORO_API_URL": "https://us-east.metoro.io"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Restart Claude Desktop App and select "Metoro MCP Server" from the MCP server dropdown.

Key features of Metoro MCP Server

• Direct LLM access to Metoro's eBPF‑collected telemetry.
• Supports both production Metoro accounts and a publicly available demo cluster.
• Simple configuration via environment variables (auth token and API endpoint).
• Built on the Golang MCP SDK for robust protocol handling.

Use cases of Metoro MCP Server

• Ask an AI assistant questions like “Which pods are experiencing high latency?” or “Show recent error spikes for service X”.
• Generate automated troubleshooting steps based on live cluster metrics.
• Build AI‑driven dashboards or chat interfaces for DevOps teams.
• Explore cluster health in natural language during incident response.

FAQ from the Metoro MCP Server

Q: Do I need a Metoro account? A: No. You can use the public demo token and API URL to experiment.

Q: Which platforms are supported? A: Any system that can run Go binaries and the Claude Desktop App (macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL).

Q: How is authentication handled? A: Via a JWT token passed in the METORO_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable.

Q: Can I customize the server behavior? A: The server is built on the Golang MCP SDK; extending it requires modifying the source and rebuilding.

Q: What if I want to use a different LLM client? A: Any client that implements the Model Context Protocol can communicate with this server by following the same configuration pattern.

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?

1. Install the Claude Desktop App.
2. Make sure you have Golang installed. brew install go for mac or sudo apt-get install golang for ubuntu.
3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/metoro-io/metoro-mcp-server.git
4. Navigate to the repository directory: cd metoro-mcp-server
5. 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"
       }
    }
  }
}

4. Once you are done editing claude_desktop_config.json save the file and restart Claude Desktop app.
5. 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!
