Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Kibana 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 kibana -- npx -y @tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kibana": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.kibana]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kibana": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "kibana": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_TRANSPORT (Transport mode selection), MCP_HTTP_PORT (HTTP server port), KIBANA_URL (Your Kibana instance URL), KIBANA_API_KEY (Kibana API key for authentication), KIBANA_USERNAME (Kibana username), KIBANA_PASSWORD (Kibana password). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Kibana — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kibana?
Kibana 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 @tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana was installed 2 016 times last week.
How do I connect Kibana?
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 @tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Kibana?
The npm package @tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana was installed 2 016 times in the last week. Week over week that is +465%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Kibana open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 80 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.
