This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: INFLUX_DB_PRODUCT_TYPE (InfluxDB edition or service; use its runtime configuration value.), INFLUX_DB_TOKEN (Operator, admin, resource or database token. Required for Core, Enterprise and Cloud Serverless; needed for query/write on Cloud Dedicated and Clustered.), INFLUX_DB_INSTANCE_URL (InfluxDB URL. Required for Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless and Clustered; e.g. http://localhost:8181/ for Core or Enterprise.), INFLUX_DB_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN (Management API token for Cloud Dedicated or Clustered. Provide this or INFLUX_DB_TOKEN, or both for full functionality.), INFLUX_DB_ACCOUNT_ID (Account ID required when using a management token with Cloud Dedicated.), INFLUX_DB_CLUSTER_ID (Cluster ID required for Cloud Dedicated.), INFLUX_MCP_TOOL_PROFILE (Tools to expose. readonly exposes read-only tools; readwrite also allows writes; operator exposes all tools.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

InfluxDB 3 — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for InfluxDB 3?
InfluxDB 3 runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @influxdata/influxdb3-mcp-server was installed 348 times last week.
How do I connect InfluxDB 3?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @influxdata/influxdb3-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use InfluxDB 3?
The npm package @influxdata/influxdb3-mcp-server was installed 348 times in the last week. Week over week that is +67%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is InfluxDB 3 open source?
No, and the distinction matters: its licence is declared as (Apache-2.0 OR MIT). That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
