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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_pipelines / get_pipeline_config / get_pipeline_history | Discover pipelines and read their config and version history. |
validate_pipeline_config | Validate a config YAML without saving it. Returns {valid, reason}. |
save_pipeline_config | Save the full config YAML as a new version (does not deploy). |
deploy_pipeline | Deploy a saved version to the fleet. |
revert_pipeline | Roll back to a previously saved version. |
add_pipeline_source | Add a data source node to a pipeline. |
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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
start_pipeline_capture | Start a capture task on a pipeline (duration, optional node list, max items). |
get_pipeline_capture_status | Poll per-agent status for a capture task. |
get_pipeline_capture_results | Fetch captured before/after samples per node. |
get_pipeline_capture_task | Show the currently active capture task, if any. |
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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
test_pipeline_ottl | Dry-run OTTL statements against sample OTEL log items; returns the transformed items. |
test_pipeline_node | Dry-run a full processor node of any type (log_to_metric, log_to_pattern, extract_metric, parse_json_attributes, grok, mask, …); returns the items it emits per output path. |
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
- Docker Engine ≥ 20.10 installed and running.
- 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
- An Edge Delta API token with the required scope – create one here.
- 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
--loadflag streams the image back to your local Docker engine so you can run it directly withdocker run mcp/edgedelta ….
