๐Ÿš€ What is Opik MCP Server?

Opik MCP Server is an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol for the Opik platform. It provides a unified interface for interacting with Opik's capabilities, supporting multiple transport mechanisms for flexible integration into various environments.

You can use Opik MCP Server for:

  • IDE Integration:

    • Seamlessly integrate with Cursor and other compatible IDEs
    • Provide direct access to Opik's capabilities from your development environment
  • Unified API Access:

    • Access all Opik features through a standardized protocol
    • Leverage multiple transport options (stdio, SSE) for different integration scenarios
  • Platform Management:

    • Manage prompts, projects, traces, and metrics through a consistent interface
    • Organize and monitor your LLM applications efficiently

Features

  • Prompts Management: Create, list, update, and delete prompts
  • Projects/Workspaces Management: Organize and manage projects
  • Traces: Track and analyze trace data
  • Metrics: Gather and query metrics data

Quick Start

Installation

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/comet-ml/opik-mcp.git
cd opik-mcp

# Install dependencies and build
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Create a .env file based on the example:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your specific configuration

Starting the Server

# Start with stdio transport (default)
npm run start:stdio

# Start with SSE transport for network access (experimental)
npm run start:sse

IDE Integration

Cursor Integration

To integrate with Cursor IDE, create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project directory with the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opik": {
      "command": "/path/to/node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/opik-mcp/build/index.js",
        "--apiUrl",
        "https://www.comet.com/opik/api",
        "--apiKey",
        "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "--workspace",
        "default",
        "--debug",
        "true"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPIK_API_BASE_URL": "https://www.comet.com/opik/api",
        "OPIK_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "OPIK_WORKSPACE_NAME": "default",
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/node with the path to your Node.js executable and /path/to/opik-mcp with the path to your opik-mcp installation. Also replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Opik API key.

Available Commands

The project includes a Makefile for common operations:

# Display all available commands
make help

# Run tests
make test

# Run transport-specific tests
make test-transport

# Start the server with SSE transport (experimental)
make start-sse

# Start the server with stdio transport
make start-stdio

Transport Options

Standard Input/Output

Ideal for local integration where the client and server run on the same machine.

make start-stdio

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

Enables remote access and multiple simultaneous clients over HTTP. Note that this transport option is experimental.

make start-sse

For detailed information about the SSE transport, see docs/sse-transport.md.

Development

Testing

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific test suite
npm test -- tests/transports/sse-transport.test.ts

Pre-commit Hooks

This project uses pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality:

# Run pre-commit checks manually
make precommit

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
