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
export BONITO_API_URL=http://localhost:8100
export BONITO_API_KEY=change-me
bonito-mcp                      # stdio transport

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.
