+# MCP Server for IBM Instana
+
+The Instana MCP server enables seamless interaction with the Instana observability platform, allowing you to access real-time observability data directly within your development workflow.
+
+It serves as a bridge between clients (such as AI agents or custom tools) and the Instana REST APIs, converting user queries into Instana API requests and formatting the responses into structured, easily consumable formats.
+
+The server supports both **Streamable HTTP** and **Stdio** transport modes for maximum compatibility with different MCP clients. For more details, refer to the [MCP Transport Modes specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/transports).

+
+## Workflow
+
+Consider a simple example: You're using an MCP Host (such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, or another client) connected to the Instana MCP Server. When you request information about Instana alerts, the following process occurs:
+
+1. The MCP client retrieves the list of available tools from the Instana MCP server
+2. Your query is sent to the LLM along with tool descriptions
+3. The LLM analyzes the available tools and selects the appropriate one(s) for retrieving Instana alerts
+4. The client executes the chosen tool(s) through the Instana MCP server
+5. Results (latest alerts) are returned to the LLM
+6. The LLM formulates a natural language response
+7. The response is displayed to you
+
+```mermaid

+    MCPServer->>Instana: Retrieve alerts for application robot-shop
+    MCPServer->>MCPClient: Send alerts of Instana result
+    MCPClient->>LLM: Forward alerts of Instana
+    LLM->>ChatBot: Generate natural language response for Instana alerts
+    ChatBot->>User: Show Instana alert response
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Installing uv
+
+This project uses `uv`, a fast Python package installer and resolver. To install `uv`, you have several options:
+
+**Using pip:**
+```shell
+pip install uv
+```
+
+**Using Homebrew (macOS):**
+```shell
+brew install uv
+```
+
+For more installation options and detailed instructions, visit the [uv documentation](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv).
+
+### Setting Up the Environment
+
+After installing `uv`, set up the project environment by running:
+
+```shell
+uv sync
+```
+
+### Header-Based Authentication for Streamable HTTP Mode
+
+When using **Streamable HTTP mode**, you must pass Instana credentials via HTTP headers. This approach enhances security and flexibility by:
+
+- Avoiding credential storage in environment variables
+- Enabling the use of different credentials for different requests
+- Supporting shared environments where environment variable modification is restricted
+
+**Required Headers:**
+- `instana-base-url`: Your Instana instance URL
+- `instana-api-token`: Your Instana API token
+
+**Authentication Flow:**
+1. HTTP headers (`instana-base-url`, `instana-api-token`) must be present in each request
+2. Requests without these headers will fail
+
+This design ensures secure credential transmission where credentials are only sent via headers for each request, making it suitable for scenarios requiring different credentials or avoiding credential storage in environment variables.
+
+## Starting the Local MCP Server
+
+Before configuring any MCP client (Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, or custom MCP clients), you need to start the local MCP server. The server supports two transport modes: **Streamable HTTP** and **Stdio**.
+
+### Server Command Options
+
+The MCP server (`src/core/server.py`) supports the following command-line options:
+
+```bash
+uv run src/core/server.py [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+**Available Options:**
+- `--transport <mode>`: Transport mode (choices: `streamable-http`, `stdio`)
+- `--debug`: Enable debug mode with additional logging
+- `--log-level <level>`: Set the logging level (choices: `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL`)
+- `--tools <categories>`: Comma-separated list of tool categories to enable (e.g., `infra,app,events`)
+- `--list-tools`: List all available tool categories and exit
+- `--port <port>`: Port to listen on (default: 8000)
+- `--help`: Show help message and exit
+
+### Starting in Streamable HTTP Mode
+
+**Streamable HTTP mode** provides a REST API interface and is recommended for most use cases:
+
+```bash
+# Start with all tools enabled (default)
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http
+
+# Start with debug logging
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --debug
+
+# Start with a specific log level
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --log-level WARNING
+
+# Start with specific tool categories only
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --tools infra,events
+
+# Combine options (specific log level, custom tools)
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --log-level DEBUG --tools app,events
+```
+
+**Key Features of Streamable HTTP Mode:**
+- Uses HTTP headers for authentication (no environment variables needed)
+- Supports different credentials per request
+- Better suited for shared environments
+- Default port: 8000
+- Endpoint: `http://0.0.0.0:8000/mcp/`
+
+### Starting in Stdio Mode
+
+**Stdio mode** uses standard input/output for communication and requires environment variables for authentication:
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables first
+export INSTANA_BASE_URL="https://your-instana-instance.instana.io"
+export INSTANA_API_TOKEN="your_instana_api_token"
+
+# Start the server (stdio is the default if no transport specified)
+uv run src/core/server.py
+
+# Or explicitly specify stdio mode
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport stdio
+```
+
+**Key Features of Stdio Mode:**
+- Uses environment variables for authentication
+- Direct communication via stdin/stdout
+- Required for certain MCP client configurations
+
+### Tool Categories
+
+You can optimize server performance by enabling only the tool categories you need:
+
+```bash
+# List all available categories
+uv run src/core/server.py --list-tools
+
+# Enable specific categories
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --tools infra,app
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --tools events
+```
+
+**Available Categories:**
+- **`infra`**: Infrastructure monitoring tools (resources, catalog, topology, analyze, metrics)
+- **`app`**: Application performance tools (resources, metrics, alerts, catalog, topology, analyze)
+- **`events`**: Event monitoring tools (Kubernetes events, agent monitoring)
+
+### Verifying Server Status
+
+Once started, you can verify the server is running:
+
+**For Streamable HTTP mode:**
+```bash
+# Check server health
+curl http://0.0.0.0:8000/mcp/
+
+# Or with custom port
+curl http://0.0.0.0:9000/mcp/
+```
+
+**For Stdio mode:**
+The server will start and wait for stdin input from MCP clients.
+
+### Common Startup Issues
+
+**Certificate Issues:**
+If you encounter SSL certificate errors, ensure your Python environment has access to system certificates:
+```bash
+# macOS - Install certificates for Python
+/Applications/Python\ 3.13/Install\ Certificates.command
+```
+
+**Port Already in Use:**
+If port 8000 is already in use, specify a different port:
+```bash
+uv run src/core/server.py --transport streamable-http --port 9000
+```
+
+**Missing Dependencies:**
+Ensure all dependencies are installed:
+```bash
+uv sync
+```
+
+## Setup and Usage
+
+### Claude Desktop
+
+Claude Desktop supports both Streamable HTTP and Stdio modes for MCP integration.
+
+Configure Claude Desktop by editing the configuration file:
+
+**File Locations:**
+- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+#### Streamable HTTP Mode
+
+The Streamable HTTP mode provides a REST API interface for MCP communication using JSON-RPC over HTTP.
+
+**Step 1: Start the MCP Server in Streamable HTTP Mode**
+
+Before configuring Claude Desktop, you need to start the MCP server in Streamable HTTP mode. Please refer to the [Starting the Local MCP Server](#starting-the-local-mcp-server) section for detailed instructions.
+
+**Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop**
+
+Configure Claude Desktop to pass Instana credentials via headers:
+
+```json:claude_desktop_config.json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "Instana MCP Server": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+         "mcp-remote", "http://0.0.0.0:8000/mcp/",
+        "--header", "instana-base-url: https://your-instana-instance.instana.io",
+        "--header", "instana-api-token: your_instana_api_token"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** To use npx, we recommend first installing NVM (Node Version Manager), then using it to install Node.js.
+Installation instructions are available at: https://nodejs.org/en/download
+
+**Step 3: Test the Connection**
+
+Restart Claude Desktop. You should now see Instana MCP Server in the Claude Desktop interface as shown below:
+
+![](./images/claudeTools.png)
+
+You can now run queries in Claude Desktop:
+
+```
+get me all endpoints from Instana
+```
+![](./images/claudeResponse.png)
+
+#### Stdio Mode
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "Instana MCP Server": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": [
+        "--directory",
+        "<path-to-mcp-instana-folder>",
+        "run",
+        "src/core/server.py"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "INSTANA_BASE_URL": "https://your-instana-instance.instana.io",
+        "INSTANA_API_TOKEN": "your_instana_api_token"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### GitHub Copilot
+
+GitHub Copilot supports MCP integration through VS Code configuration.
+For GitHub Copilot integration with VS Code, refer to this [setup guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/setup).
+
+#### Streamable HTTP Mode
+
+**Step 1: Start the MCP Server in Streamable HTTP Mode**
+
+Before configuring VS Code, you need to start the MCP server in Streamable HTTP mode. Please refer to the [Starting the Local MCP Server](#starting-the-local-mcp-server) section for detailed instructions.
+
+**Step 2: Configure VS Code**
+
+Refer to [Use MCP servers in VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers) for detailed configuration.
+
+You can directly create or update `.vscode/mcp.json` with the following configuration:
+
+```json:.vscode/mcp.json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "Instana MCP Server": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "mcp-remote", "http://0.0.0.0:8000/mcp/",
+        "--header", "instana-base-url: https://your-instana-instance.instana.io",
+        "--header", "instana-api-token: your_instana_api_token"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "PATH": "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin",
+        "SHELL": "/bin/sh"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Replace the following values with your actual configuration:
+- `instana-base-url`: Your Instana instance URL
+- `instana-api-token`: Your Instana API token
+- `command`: Update the npx path to match your system's Node.js installation (e.g., `/path/to/your/node/bin/npx`)
+- Environment variables: Adjust PATH and other environment variables as needed for your system
+
+
+#### Stdio Mode
+
+**Step 1: Create VS Code MCP Configuration**
+
+Create `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project root:
+
+```json:.vscode/mcp.json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "Instana MCP Server": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": [
+        "--directory",
+        "/absolute/path/to/your/project/mcp-instana",
+        "run",
+        "src/core/server.py"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "INSTANA_BASE_URL": "https://your-instana-instance.instana.io",
+        "INSTANA_API_TOKEN": "your_instana_api_token"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+

+3. Overall Service Availability: This metric measures the availability of the service.
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **GitHub Copilot**
+  - If you encounter issues with GitHub Copilot, try starting/stopping/restarting the server in the `mcp.json` file and keep only one server running at a time.
+
+- **Certificate Issues** 
+  - If you encounter certificate issues, such as `[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate`: 
+    - Check that you can reach the Instana API endpoint using `curl` or `wget` with SSL verification. 
+      - If that works, your Python environment may not be able to verify the certificate and might not have access to the same certificates as your shell or system. Ensure your Python environment uses system certificates (macOS). You can do this by installing certificates to Python:
+      `//Applications/Python\ 3.13/Install\ Certificates.command`
+    - If you cannot reach the endpoint with SSL verification, try without it. If that works, check your system's CA certificates and ensure they are up-to-date.
