About MCP
The Dash0 MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is designed to facilitate advanced interactions between AI assistants and your observability data.
Overview
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol that allows you to connect Dash0's APIs to any LLM-based system you're using.
In practical terms, it lets you access the data you have in Dash0 — services, metrics, traces, logs, and more — directly from within your AI-powered coding tools such as Claude Code or Claude Desktop.
What Can You Do With It?
Once the Dash0 MCP server is connected, your LLM tool gains access to a set of tools exposed by the server. The LLM decides which tools to invoke and what parameters to use based on your natural language requests.
Example use cases include:
- Troubleshooting. Ask your coding assistant to pull error rates, latency data, or service health directly from Dash0 to diagnose issues in context.
- High-level statistics. Request summaries of service availability, request volumes, or error distributions without switching to the Dash0 UI.
- Informing implementation plans. When building a new feature, query Dash0 for relevant service dependencies, existing endpoints, or performance baselines to guide your design decisions.
- Listing services. Ask your coding assistant to show you all services available in Dash0 and get a structured response right in your terminal or chat.
