Zed

You can add the prometheus-mcp server to Zed by configuring an MCP server that runs our Docker image.

Add server (Docker)

Use the following when adding a new MCP server:

• command: docker
• args:
  • run, --rm, -i,
  • brenoepics/prometheus-mcp:latest,
  • --mcp,
  • --prometheus-url, http://host.docker.internal:9090

This runs the server in Docker and points it at Prometheus at http://host.docker.internal:9090.

Linux notes

• host.docker.internal may not resolve on some Linux hosts. If needed:
  • Use your host IP directly (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:9090), or
  • Add --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway to docker run.

Troubleshooting

• Confirm Prometheus is reachable at the configured URL.
• See the general Installation and Docker docs for more options.
