Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Kibana 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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add kibana-mcp -- uvx kibana-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: KIBANA_URL (Kibana base URL (e.g. https://kibana.example.com)), ELASTICSEARCH_URL (Direct Elasticsearch URL. If unset, ES requests route through the Kibana Console proxy.), KIBANA_API_KEY (Elasticsearch API key (ApiKey base64(id:api_key) format). Takes priority over Basic auth.), KIBANA_USERNAME (HTTP Basic auth username. Used only when KIBANA_API_KEY is not set.), KIBANA_PASSWORD (HTTP Basic auth password.), KIBANA_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.

Kibana MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kibana MCP?
Kibana 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 kibana-mcp was installed 128 times last week.
How do I connect Kibana 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 kibana-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Kibana MCP?
The pypi package kibana-mcp was installed 128 times in the last week. Week over week that is -27%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Kibana MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
