About
Honeycomb's own hosted MCP server. It lets your agent query, explore and iterate on your Honeycomb telemetry the way you do in Honeycomb's UI: running queries, following traces, finding outliers with BubbleUp, and capturing what it finds on Boards. What you can do with it - Investigate and diagnose latency or error spikes, starting from a Trigger or a time window - Run queries, fetch earlier results, find saved queries and find columns by what they mean - Follow a request through your system with traces and spans, and run BubbleUp to see what sets a subset apart - See the service map (Enterprise plan) and anomaly detection profiles - Create and update Boards, Triggers, SLOs and notification recipients - Translate PromQL or Datadog queries, monitors and Grafana dashboards into Honeycomb queries, Triggers and Boards - Start or continue Canvas investigations, and analyze telemetry from AI agents that emit OpenTelemetry gen_ai attributes, Claude Code included - Look up OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, with your team's own attribute descriptions How it connects It's hosted at https://mcp.honeycomb.io/mcp for US teams; EU teams connect to https://mcp.eu1.honeycomb.io/mcp instead. Sign in with Honeycomb (OAuth) the first time your agent uses it. For autonomous agents that can't sign in interactively, a team owner can create a Management API key with the Model Context Protocol and Environments scopes and send it as a Bearer Authorization header. Honeycomb documents setup for ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Amazon Q and Auggie. Good to know - Your Honeycomb team needs Honeycomb Intelligence turned on. - Most tools only read. Write tools (Boards, Triggers, SLOs, recipients and Canvas) need write access, which you grant at sign-in or on the API key. - The X-MCP-Toolset header (all, query or canvas) limits which tools your agent loads. - It also brings prompts: /honeycomb-onboarding helps you get data into Honeycomb, and /honeycomb-learning gives a guided tour of your workspace.
Once it’s added
“Investigate a latency spike between 12:00 and 13:00 in the api-gateway service.”
“Find the slowest trace for checkout in the last hour and show me where it went wrong.”
