What is the mcp-alertmanager server?

It's an MCP server that connects your AI assistant to a Prometheus Alertmanager instance, allowing you to query active alerts, manage silences, and inspect routing rules programmatically. Install it via `npx mcp-alertmanager@2.1.1` and configure it to point to your Alertmanager API endpoint.

How do I connect it to my Alertmanager instance?

The server communicates via stdio transport. You'll need to configure the Alertmanager API URL (typically via environment variables or config file) so the MCP server can reach your Alertmanager instance. Check the project repository for specific environment variable names and setup instructions.

Can I create and manage silences through this server?

Yes, the server supports silence management operations. You can create, list, and manage silences programmatically, which is useful for automating alert suppression during maintenance windows or incident response.

What alert information can I retrieve?

You can query active alerts with details like severity, labels, annotations, and firing duration. The server also provides access to alert routing configuration and receiver groups, giving you full visibility into your alert state and topology.

Is there a cost or authentication requirement?

The mcp-alertmanager server itself is open-source and free. Authentication depends on your Alertmanager setup—if your Alertmanager instance requires authentication, you'll configure those credentials when setting up the MCP server connection.
