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.

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.

}

Put your own value in place of <JAEGER_URL> (Jaeger query service URL, e.g. https://jaeger.example.com). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: 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).

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 1 295 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 in the form 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 1 295 times in the last week. Week over week that is +881%. 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, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
