From the repository

Install and run the server via Docker, or deploy to Kubernetes using the provided Helm chart. Configure it by setting the PROMETHEUS_URL environment variable to point to your Prometheus server, plus optional authentication and transport variables. Add the server to your MCP client’s configuration (for example, Claude Desktop or VS Code) using the Docker command shown in the README.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
