bonito-mcp

The killer differentiator of Bonito (BON-004): an MCP server that gives any AI agent (Claude, Bedrock, Strands) native access to deep database observability. No Datadog DB Monitoring, DBmarlin or Percona PMM expose MCP — Bonito does.

It is a thin wrapper over the bonito-api REST layer (business logic lives in store/API, not duplicated here).

Run

uv pip install -e bonito-mcp          # local (repo checkout)
pip install bonito-mcp-server         # from PyPI
export BONITO_API_URL=http://localhost:8100
export BONITO_API_KEY=change-me
bonito-mcp                      # stdio transport

PyPI name note: the distribution is bonito-mcp-server — the bare name bonito-mcp is already taken on PyPI by an unrelated project. The console command is still bonito-mcp. With uvx, use uvx --from bonito-mcp-server bonito-mcp.

Connect to an agent

Claude Desktop — claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bonito": {
      "command": "bonito-mcp",
      "env": { "BONITO_API_URL": "http://localhost:8100", "BONITO_API_KEY": "change-me" }
    }
  }
}

Claude CLI:

claude mcp add bonito -- bonito-mcp

Bedrock / Strands: the same server runs over stdio/SSE — wire it as a tool provider and the agent gets all 8 tools.
