⚠️ DEPRECATED
> **This repository is deprecated. Version 2.1.2 was the final release — no further updates will be made.**
Please migrate to one of the actively maintained alternatives:
| Use case | Recommended tool |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Local development** (VS Code, IntelliJ, Claude Code, Cursor, …) | Dynatrace-for-AI + dtctl |
| **Agent-to-agent / remote** (Atlassian Rovo, GitHub Coding Agent, …) | Dynatrace Remote MCP Server — no local setup required |
See the migration guide for a step-by-step comparison and migration instructions.
The local _Dynatrace MCP server_ allows AI Assistants to interact with the Dynatrace observability platform,
bringing real-time observability data directly into your development workflow.

Prerequisites
- **Node.js v24 or newer** is required to run the Dynatrace MCP Server.
Quickstart
You can add this MCP server to your MCP Client like VSCode, Claude, Cursor, Amazon Q, Windsurf, ChatGPT, or Github Copilot via the command is npx -y @dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-mcp-server (type: stdio). For more details, please refer to the configuration section below.
Furthermore, you need to configure the URL to a Dynatrace environment:
- DT_ENVIRONMENT (string, e.g., https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com) - URL to your Dynatrace Platform (do not use Dynatrace classic URLs like abc12345.live.dynatrace.com)
Authentication will be handled via Authorization Code Flow in your browser, you don't need to define a Platform Token nor an OAuth Client to get started. After the initial authentication, your token is securely stored in the **OS keychain** (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service) and reused on subsequent server starts, so the browser only opens once per token lifetime.
If you are running in a headless/container environment where the OS keychain is unavailable, set DT_MCP_TOKEN_STORAGE=file to persist tokens in ~/.config/dynatrace-mcp/ instead.
Once you are done, we recommend looking into example prompts, like Get all details of the entity 'my-service' or Show me error logs. Please mind that these prompts lead to executing DQL statements which may incur costs in accordance to your licence.

Architecture
Use cases
- **Real-time observability** - Fetch production-level data for early detection and proactive monitoring
- **Contextual debugging** - Fix issues with full context from monitored exceptions, logs, and anomalies
- **Security insights** - Get detailed vulnerability analysis and security problem tracking
- **Natural language queries** - Use AI-powered DQL generation and explanation
- **Multi-phase incident investigation** - Systematic 4-phase approach with automated impact assessment
- **Advanced transaction analysis** - Precise root cause identification with file/line-level accuracy
- **Cross-data source correlation** - Connect problems → spans → logs with trace ID correlation
- **DevOps automation** - Deployment health gates with automated promotion/rollback logic
- **Security compliance monitoring** - Multi-cloud compliance assessment with evidence-based investigation
Capabilities
- Observability & Problem Management (e.g., list_problems, list_vulnerabilities, list_exceptions, get_kubernetes_events)
- Querying Data from Grail (e.g., execute_dql, verify_dql, generate_dql_from_natural_language, explain_dql_in_natural_language)
- Entity Discovery (e.g., find_entity_by_name)
- Dynatrace Intelligence (e.g., chat_with_davis_copilot, list_davis_analyzers, execute_davis_analyzer)
- Automation & Notifications (e.g., send_slack_message, send_email, send_event)
- Share results (e.g., create_dynatrace_notebook)
Costs
**Important:** While this local MCP server is provided for free, using certain capabilities to access data in Dynatrace Grail may incur additional costs based
