Repository

Honeycomb's MCP server that lets AI assistants query and analyze observability data, including events, traces, alerts (triggers), and boards. Agents can run queries against datasets, inspect columns and schemas, and cross-reference production behavior with the codebase to investigate incidents. Connects to Honeycomb via API key or OAuth.
