prometheus-mcp@0.5.1
VERIFIED· not startedPublisher claims: "MCP server for Prometheus and Alertmanager — query metrics, inspect alerts, explore targets, check cardinality, and investigate incidents (read-only)." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.- Tested
- the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
ALERTMANAGER_PASSWORDALERTMANAGER_TOKENPROMETHEUS_PASSWORDPROMETHEUS_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: ALERTMANAGER_SSL_VERIFY, ALERTMANAGER_URL, ALERTMANAGER_USERNAME, PROMETHEUS_CACHE_TTL, PROMETHEUS_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES, PROMETHEUS_MCP_CONFIG, PROMETHEUS_SSL_VERIFY, PROMETHEUS_TIMEOUT, PROMETHEUS_URL, PROMETHEUS_USERNAME- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso jsonlint.com, pydantic.dev — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · no network
- What we could not test
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names jsonlint.com, pydantic.dev as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ALERTMANAGER_PASSWORD, ALERTMANAGER_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD, PROMETHEUS_TOKEN only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.
Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-15 and scored it 93/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Cost to the agent
Tokens estimated at four characters each. The tool list is re-read by the agent on every turn, so it is the number to compare between servers that do the same job: ranked across the index.
