How to Set Up and Use Zabbix Monitoring

Zabbix MCP Server is a Python-based bridge that connects AI assistants to the full Zabbix monitoring API through three unified tools: one to execute any Zabbix API method, one to retrieve API documentation, and one to discover available API objects and methods. Rather than implementing hundreds of individual tools, it exposes the complete Zabbix API surface through a single flexible interface, with optional read-only mode and per-method whitelist/blacklist controls for safe production use. Infrastructure engineers and SREs who want to query hosts, items, triggers, problems, and templates conversationally — or automate Zabbix operations through Claude — use this server as their monitoring co-pilot.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ and uv or pip installed
  • A running Zabbix 6.0+ instance accessible over the network
  • A Zabbix API token (preferred) or username/password credentials
  • Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or another MCP-compatible client
  • Docker (optional, for containerised deployment)
1

Set required environment variables

Export your Zabbix server URL and API credentials. Using an API token is recommended over username/password.

export ZABBIX_URL=https://your-zabbix-server.com
export ZABBIX_TOKEN=your_api_token
# OR use legacy credentials:
# export ZABBIX_USER=Admin
# export ZABBIX_PASSWORD=zabbix
2

Add to Claude Code with a single command

The easiest way to use this server in Claude Code is the claude mcp add command, which handles environment variable injection automatically.

claude mcp add zabbix \
  --env ZABBIX_URL=https://your-zabbix-server.com \
  --env ZABBIX_TOKEN=your_api_token \
  -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpeirone/zabbix-mcp-server@main zabbix-mcp
3

Or install and run manually with uv

Clone the repository and run the server directly using uv for local development or testing.

git clone https://github.com/mpeirone/zabbix-mcp-server.git
cd zabbix-mcp-server
uv sync
uv run python scripts/start_server.py
4

Or deploy with Docker

For persistent deployments, build and run the Docker container with your Zabbix credentials passed as environment variables.

docker build -t zabbix-mcp-server .
docker run \
  -e ZABBIX_URL=https://zabbix.example.com \
  -e ZABBIX_TOKEN=your_token \
  zabbix-mcp-server
5

Configure optional security controls

Enable read-only mode or restrict which Zabbix API methods Claude can call using the whitelist/blacklist environment variables.

# Enable read-only mode (no create/update/delete)
export READ_ONLY=true

# Restrict to specific API method patterns
export ZABBIX_API_WHITELIST="host\.get|trigger\.get|problem\.get"

# Disable SSL verification for self-signed certs (dev only)
export VERIFY_SSL=false

Zabbix Monitoring Examples

Client configuration

claude_desktop_config.json entry for the Zabbix MCP Server using uvx.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zabbix": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/mpeirone/zabbix-mcp-server@main", "zabbix-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ZABBIX_URL": "https://your-zabbix-server.com",
        "ZABBIX_TOKEN": "your_api_token",
        "READ_ONLY": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example prompts for querying your Zabbix monitoring environment through an AI assistant.

- "List all hosts monitored by Zabbix that are currently in problem state."
- "Show me all active triggers with severity 'High' or above."
- "Get the latest CPU utilization values for the web server hosts."
- "What templates are available in Zabbix for monitoring Linux servers?"
- "List all items configured for the host 'db-primary-01'."

Troubleshooting Zabbix Monitoring

Authentication fails with 'No permissions to referred object' or 401 errors

Verify your ZABBIX_TOKEN is valid and has not expired. Alternatively, switch to ZABBIX_USER and ZABBIX_PASSWORD. Ensure the Zabbix user account has API access enabled in Administration → Users.

SSL certificate errors when connecting to the Zabbix server

For internal Zabbix servers with self-signed certificates, set VERIFY_SSL=false. For production, ensure your certificate chain is valid and trusted by the Python requests library.

Zabbix API method calls are being blocked by the server

Check the ZABBIX_API_WHITELIST and ZABBIX_API_BLACKLIST environment variables. The whitelist defaults to '.*' (allow all), but if READ_ONLY=true is set, all write methods are blocked regardless of whitelist settings.
