Install the Netdata MCP Server
Pick your client. Remote first: nothing to install, and you sign in with OAuth where the client supports it. Config shapes checked against each client's docs on 2026-10-25.
The URL also takes Authorization as a header (see its docs), for clients without OAuth sign-in.
Run in a terminal, then /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in. Add --scope project to share it via .mcp.json. docs
claude mcp add --transport http netdata https://app.netdata.cloud/api/v1/mcp
Customize > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector, paste this URL and sign in. It syncs to Claude Desktop and mobile. docs

The free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors.
