What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/auto-release.yml:87
      - name: Update version in pyproject.toml
        run: |
          NEW_VERSION=${{ steps.bump_version.outputs.new_version }}

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Jaeger MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add jaeger-mcp -- uvx jaeger-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jaeger-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "jaeger-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.jaeger-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["jaeger-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jaeger-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "jaeger-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jaeger-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "jaeger-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: JAEGER_URL (Jaeger query service URL, e.g. https://jaeger.example.com), JAEGER_TOKEN (Bearer token for authentication. Takes priority over Basic auth.), JAEGER_USERNAME (HTTP Basic auth username. Used only when JAEGER_TOKEN is not set.), JAEGER_PASSWORD (HTTP Basic auth password.), JAEGER_SSL_VERIFY (Verify SSL certificates (true/false). Set to 'false' for self-signed certs.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Jaeger MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Jaeger MCP?
Jaeger MCP 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 pypi package jaeger-mcp was installed 157 times last week.
How do I connect Jaeger MCP?
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 jaeger-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Jaeger MCP?
The pypi package jaeger-mcp was installed 157 times in the last week. Week over week that is -23%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Jaeger MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
