signoz-mcp-setup

signoz-mcp-setup is a skill for Claude Code from SigNoz/agent-skills. It costs 160 tokens per session (3,976 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup workflow for connecting the SigNoz MCP server to an AI coding client. SigNoz monitors application metrics, logs, and traces, while MCP is a standard way for an AI client to use an external tool server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure SigNoz for supported coding agents, editors, desktop clients, or local self-hosted setups, including choosing the correct client and region.
Why use it?
It checks or repairs the connection before SigNoz queries, dashboards, alerts, or views are used, avoiding analysis without access to the monitoring data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

signoz-mcp-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

SigNoz MCP Setup

Initialize or repair the SigNoz MCP server registration shipped with this plugin. The target state is one working signoz MCP server. Do not create a duplicate server unless the user explicitly asks for a separate configuration.

Shared reference

Read references/mcp-settings.md before checking state, mapping user input, or editing registration files. It contains the server-state check, registration file locations, editing rules, and region mapping used by this procedure.

Read references/client-configs.md for a portable Agent Plugins v1 install, when the user names a client other than the bundled Claude Code or Cursor plugin path, when a native client config already exists, or when self-hosted stdio/local-binary setup is requested.

Configuration procedure

Step 1: Identify the client

Determine this before checking state: it decides where state is allowed to be checked from.

Use the client named in $ARGUMENTS or the user's latest message. If no client is named, infer it only when the active environment is obvious (which agent CLI or editor is running this skill, not just what files happen to exist on disk):

Classify the install from the format the active client loaded, not from other files that happen to coexist in the plugin root. An Agent Plugins v1 install uses the portable mcp.json when its root plugin.json declares the canonical Agent Plugins schema, even if the same root contains registration files for Claude Code, Cursor, or Grok Build. Use a client-specific registration file only when that client loaded the corresponding compatibility package.

  • Portable Agent Plugins v1 install, including a VS Code or Codex installation whose root manifest declares the Agent Plugins schema: use the standard mcp.json in the installed plugin root.
  • Claude Code compatibility-package install: use the persisted plugin option referenced by its bundled registration file. Cursor compatibility-package install: use its bundled registration file.
  • Grok Build: use the Grok Build CLI recipe in client-configs.md. It ships a bundled registration file, but its endpoint is configured through [mcp_servers.signoz], not by editing that file.
  • VS Code / GitHub Copilot native MCP setup: use the native recipe only when no Agent Plugins v1 install is active, the user explicitly requests native config, or the endpoint is not eligible for portable mcp.json.
  • Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Devin CLI, Windsurf, Zed, Antigravity CLI, or OpenCode: use the matching native client recipe in client-configs.md.
  • Unknown or unsupported client: use the generic HTTP MCP recipe and point the user to the SigNoz MCP Server docs for their client's exact config surface.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
