How to Set Up and Use Metoro
The Metoro MCP Server bridges Claude Desktop with Metoro's Kubernetes observability platform, giving AI assistants direct access to APM data, distributed traces, metrics, and profiling information collected from your microservices via eBPF instrumentation. Instead of navigating dashboards, you can ask natural language questions about cluster health, diagnose latency spikes, or correlate traces with deployment changes. It's built for platform engineers and SREs who want to speed up incident investigation and root cause analysis in Kubernetes environments.
Prerequisites
- Go 1.21+ installed (to build the server from source)
- A Metoro account with an auth token (or use the public demo token for testing)
- Your Metoro API URL (e.g. https://us-east.metoro.io)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
- Kubernetes clusters already monitored by Metoro with eBPF agents deployed
Clone and build the Metoro MCP server
The server is written in Go and must be compiled locally. Clone the repository and build the binary.
git clone https://github.com/metoro-io/metoro-mcp-server.git
cd metoro-mcp-server
go build -o metoro-mcp-server .Obtain your Metoro auth token and API URL
Log in to your Metoro account and find your auth token in the account settings. Note your regional API URL (e.g. https://us-east.metoro.io). For testing without an account, a public demo token is available in the repository README.
Note the path to the compiled binary
After building, note the absolute path to the binary. You can optionally move it to a stable location like /usr/local/bin/metoro-mcp-server.
# Find the binary
pwd
# Output: /Users/yourname/metoro-mcp-server
# The binary is at: /Users/yourname/metoro-mcp-server/metoro-mcp-serverConfigure Claude Desktop to launch the server
Add the Metoro server to claude_desktop_config.json with your auth token and API URL. Use the absolute path to the compiled binary as the command.

}Restart Claude Desktop and verify
Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration. The Metoro server should appear in the MCP servers list. Ask a question about your cluster to confirm the connection.

Example natural language queries for investigating Kubernetes environments via Metoro.
- "What is the error rate for the payment-service in the last hour?"
- "Show me the slowest traces from the checkout service today"
- "Which pods have been restarting most frequently in the production namespace?"
- "What changed in my cluster around 3pm yesterday?"
- "Find the root cause of the latency spike in the API gateway"Troubleshooting Metoro
Build fails with 'go: command not found'
Install Go 1.21+ from https://go.dev/downloads and ensure the Go binary is on your PATH. Run 'go version' to confirm before retrying the build.
Authentication error or empty results from the server
Verify that METORO_AUTH_TOKEN is correct and that METORO_API_URL matches your account's region. Tokens are region-specific — a token from us-east will not work against eu-west endpoints.
Server starts but Claude shows no Kubernetes data
Confirm that your Kubernetes clusters have Metoro's eBPF agents deployed and are actively sending telemetry. Check the Metoro dashboard directly to verify data is flowing before expecting results through the MCP server.
