RCA-MCP
Causal root-cause analysis MCP server -- 56 tools across graphs, RCA models, PyRCA.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

What is RCA-MCP?
The only MCP server purpose-built for causal Root Cause Analysis. 56 tools covering causal graph construction, 10 RCA model families plus 3 dedicated PyRCA algorithms (Salesforce PyRCA, BSD-3-Clause), multi-model consensus, and PDF/HTML/Excel/Markdown report generation. Works with Claude, Ollama, Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, LangChain, Cursor — 10 providers.
Quick Start (2 minutes)
rca-mcp-connector is a published PyPI package — no clone needed. Point any MCP
client at it with uvx (or pip install rca-mcp-connector if you'd rather manage
the install yourself):
uvx rca-mcp-connector
Get a free API key at rcamcp.datalizedglb.cloud — no credit
card required — then set RCA_MCP_API_KEY in your MCP client's config (examples
below).
Claude Code Setup
Add to .mcp.json in your workspace root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"rca-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["rca-mcp-connector"],
"env": {
"RCA_MCP_API_URL": "https://rcamcp-production.up.railway.app",
"RCA_MCP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Ollama Setup
go install github.com/mark3labs/mcphost@latest
mcphost -m ollama:qwen3:14b --config providers/mcp-servers.json

Frequently asked questions
What is RCA-MCP?
Causal root-cause analysis MCP server -- 56 tools across graphs, RCA models, PyRCA.
How do I install RCA-MCP?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add rca-mcp -e 'RCA_MCP_API_URL=https://rcamcp-production.up.railway.app' -e 'RCA_MCP_API_KEY=<your rca_mcp_api_key>' -- uvx rca-mcp-connector==4.1.20. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does RCA-MCP need an API key?
Yes. It expects RCA_MCP_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Is RCA-MCP open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains RCA-MCP?
It is published by dave1362. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
