Share your MCP server with the developer community
Dynatrace reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.
Dynatrace has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.
Useful MCP listing: Dynatrace is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.
We evaluated Dynatrace against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.
Dynatrace is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.

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.
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.

Important: While this local MCP server is provided for free, using certain capabilities to access data in Dynatrace Grail may incur additional costs based
on your Dynatrace consumption model. This affects execute_dql tool and other capabilities that query Dynatrace Grail storage, and costs
depend on the volume (GB scanned).
Before using this MCP server extensively, please:
DT_GRAIL_QUERY_BUDGET_GB environment variable (default: 1000 GB) to control and monitor your Grail query consumptionGrail Budget Tracking:
The MCP server includes built-in budget tracking for Grail queries to help you monitor and control costs:
DT_GRAIL_QUERY_BUDGET_GB (default: 1000 GB) to define your session budget limitTo understand costs that occured:
Execute the following DQL statement in a notebook to see how much bytes have been queried from Grail (Logs, Events, etc...):
fetch dt.system.events
| filter event.kind == "QUERY_EXECUTION_EVENT" and contains(client.client_context, "dynatrace-mcp")
| sort timestamp desc
| fields timestamp, query_id, query_string, scanned_bytes, table, bucket, user.id, user.email, client.client_context
| maketimeSeries sum(scanned_bytes), by: { user.email, user.id, table }
Note: While Davis CoPilot AI is generally available (GA), the Davis CoPilot APIs are currently in preview. For more information, visit the Davis CoPilot Preview Community.
You can add this MCP server (using STDIO) to your MCP Client like VS Code, Claude, Cursor, Amazon Q Developer CLI, Windsurf Github Copilot via the package @dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-mcp-server.
We recommend to always set it up for your current workspace instead of using it globally.

✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
