        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",

        "http://host.docker.internal:9090"
      ]
    }
  }
}

OpenCode

Add to opencode.json (guide):

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "prometheus": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": [
        "prometheus-mcp-server",
        "--prom-addr",
        "http://localhost:9090"
      ]
    }
  }
}

HTTP Transport

Run the server with HTTP transport:

prometheus-mcp-server --transport=http --mcp-addr="localhost:8080"

Then configure your client to use http://localhost:8080/mcp.

For authenticated access, set AUTH_TOKEN:

AUTH_TOKEN=my-token prometheus-mcp-server --transport=http

Your client must then include Authorization: Bearer my-token in requests to /mcp.
