Netdata MCP server

Netdata is a free tool that watches your computers and servers in real time. It keeps an eye on things like CPU, memory, disk, network, containers, and logs. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to Netdata, so you can simply ask questions in plain words instead of clicking through dashboards.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question in normal words, like why a server is slow. The AI uses this helper to talk to your Netdata setup. Netdata then looks through its live and stored monitoring data. The AI reads the results and explains what it found. You get a clear answer in the chat, often with the numbers behind it.
