Edgedelta MCP Server

Edge Delta MCP Server

The Edge Delta MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with Edge Delta APIs, enabling advanced automation and interaction capabilities for developers and tools.

Use Cases

• Extract and analyse observability data from Edge Delta.
• Build AI‑powered tools and applications that interact with Edge Delta’s platform.

Pipeline Configuration Tools

The server exposes tools to inspect and change Edge Delta pipelines. Write operations follow a safe loop: validate → save → deploy, with rollback.

Typical edit flow: get_pipeline_config → edit YAML → validate_pipeline_config → save_pipeline_config → get_pipeline_history → deploy_pipeline (revert_pipeline to roll back).

Live-capture tools

Validating that a config is valid is not the same as confirming a change actually transformed the data. The live-capture tools sample real before/after data flowing through pipeline nodes on running agents, so an agent can verify a transformation took effect.

Capture flow: start_pipeline_capture → get_pipeline_capture_status (poll until an agent reports success) → get_pipeline_capture_results (compare each node's before vs after to confirm the transformation).

Processor dry-run (test) tools

Develop and verify a processor against sample logs offline — no save, no deploy, no live traffic. The offline complement to live-capture: capture proves what did happen, this proves what will happen.

Iterate until the output is right, then add the statements/node to the pipeline, save_pipeline_config → deploy_pipeline, and confirm on live data with the capture tools. Use test_pipeline_ottl for OTTL transforms (its ExtractPatterns also covers regex field extraction); use test_pipeline_node for non-OTTL node types such as log-to-metric and log-to-pattern.

Prerequisites

1. Docker Engine ≥ 20.10 installed and running.
2. Docker Buildx plug‑in available:
   • macOS / Windows – included with Docker Desktop.
   • Debian / Ubuntu

     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y docker-buildx-plugin

   • Fedora / RHEL / CentOS

     sudo dnf install -y docker-buildx-plugin   # or yum install …

   • Other distros (manual fallback)

     mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins
     curl -sSL \
       https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/latest/download/buildx-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-amd64 \
       -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
     chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx

3. An Edge Delta API token with the required scope – create one here.
4. Your Edge Delta organisation ID – find it here.

Build (container image)

First‑time setup (creates a multi‑platform builder and boots it):

docker buildx create --name edgedelta-builder --use
docker buildx inspect --bootstrap

Build the image and load it into the local Docker daemon:

docker buildx build --load -t mcp/edgedelta .

ℹ️ The --load flag streams the image back to your local Docker engine so you can run it directly with docker run mcp/edgedelta ….
