Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Guide for Prometheus MCP Server

An MCP server that exposes a running Prometheus instance (or compatible backend, e.g. Thanos) to LLM clients as typed tools and resources, plus search over an embedded snapshot of the official Prometheus docs (Bleve-indexed at startup). [README.md](README.md) is the canonical reference for the tool list, install methods, auth, telemetry, and flags — when a change affects any of those, update the README rather than duplicating it here.

## Build, test, lint

Standard Prometheus tooling: `Makefile` includes `Makefile.common` and drives [`promu`](https://github.com/prometheus/promu); CI is [`prometheus/promci`](https://github.com/prometheus/promci) (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`). Release artifacts are built in CI, not locally.

| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Tests | `make test` |
| Single test while iterating | `go test -race -run TestName ./pkg/mcp/` |
| Lint | `make lint` |
| Full pre-commit check (style, license headers, lint, yamllint, tidy, build, test) | `make` |
| Build host binary | `make build` |
| Refresh embedded docs snapshot | `make docs` |
| List project-specific targets | `make help` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add prometheus/prometheus-mcp/AGENTS.md@sha256:b7ffb44e5d4c5211

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c4e1736, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
