AppSignal MCP Server for AI Agents

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI agents like Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Cursor, Zed, and others to interact with external tools and data sources. AppSignal's MCP server provides AI agents with access to AppSignal's monitoring data, metrics, and tools.

The server is also available as a Docker image on GitHub for setups that require a local MCP server.

Requirements

Before using the AppSignal MCP server, make sure you have:

• An AppSignal account and an AppSignal MCP token.

Configuration

Configure the AppSignal MCP server in your AI agent's settings using the HTTP endpoint below. Here's how to set it up for different agents.

Claude Code

Run the following command:

claude mcp add --transport http appsignal https://appsignal.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer your-mcp-token"

Cursor

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "url": "https://appsignal.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "serverUrl": "https://appsignal.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed

Open your Zed settings file and add the context_servers section:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "settings": {},
      "enabled": true,
      "url": "https://appsignal.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

VSCode

If you are running GitHub Copilot, and are signed in under a company account, make sure to set "MCP servers in Copilot" to "Enabled" under your organization settings > Copilot > Policies.

Add this config to your .vscode/mcp.json settings:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "appsignal_mcp_token",
      "description": "AppSignal MCP Token",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "appsignal": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://appsignal.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:appsignal_mcp_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}
