What is Metoro MCP Server

The Metoro MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is a server that allows interaction with Kubernetes clusters through the Claude Desktop App. It utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which is an open protocol facilitating the integration of large language models (LLMs) with external data sources, enabling efficient querying and context provision for AI applications.

Use cases

Metoro MCP Server is suitable for various applications, including AI-powered integrated development environments (IDEs), enhanced chat interfaces, and custom AI workflows. It serves as a bridge for LLMs to access and analyze data from Kubernetes environments, providing insights into microservices operation and observability.

How to use

To use the Metoro MCP Server, install the Claude Desktop App and Golang. Clone the repository from GitHub, build the executable, and configure the connection by generating a JSON configuration file in the Claude Desktop App’s settings. Users can authenticate via a Metoro token and connect to either their own Metoro account or access a public demo cluster.

Key features

Key features of Metoro MCP Server include eBPF-based telemetry generation, seamless integration with LLMs for context-aware queries, and access to deep observability data from microservices. It also supports a live demo environment for testing and exploration without requiring a user account.

Where to use

The Metoro MCP Server can be deployed in environments utilizing Kubernetes for microservices, particularly where deep telemetry and observability are needed. It is ideal for developers and data scientists working with LLMs who require direct insights into Kubernetes clusters.

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!

Built with

This server is built on top of our Golang MCP SDK.
