✈️ PilotOps MCP
AI-powered Incident Response Autopilot for DevOps & SRE teams
Connect Claude AI to your entire monitoring stack and respond to incidents in natural language — no more jumping between 5 different tools at 3am.
</div>
The Problem
When an incident fires at 3am, an SRE must manually:
| Step | Tool | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Check alerts | Prometheus | 2 min |
| Analyze metrics | Grafana | 5 min |
| Search logs | Loki / ELK | 10 min |
| Diagnose root cause | Brain | 15 min |
| Write runbook | Notion / Confluence | 10 min |
| Page on-call | PagerDuty | 2 min |
| Notify team | Slack | 2 min |
| Total | 7 tools | ~46 min |
The Solution
With PilotOps MCP, you just tell Claude:
"There's an alert on prod, investigate and generate a runbook"
And Claude handles everything in under 2 minutes.
How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ You (Claude Desktop) │
│ "Investigate the active alert on prod-server-01" │
└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PilotOps MCP Server │
│ │
│ 1. prometheus_get_active_alerts() │
│ → CPU 95% on prod-server-01 since 10min │
│ │
│ 2. prometheus_get_metrics("node_cpu...") │
│ → Spike started at 22:15, still climbing │
│ │
│ 3. loki_get_logs('{host="prod-server-01"}') │
│ → 847 errors: "OOM Killer activated" │
│ │
│ 4. analyze_incident(alerts, metrics, logs) │
│ → P1 | Memory leak in payments-api | Confidence: HIGH │
│ │
│ 5. generate_runbook("memory_leak", "P1") │
│ → 4-phase runbook generated │
│ │
│ 6. pagerduty_create_incident("P1: Memory leak") │
│ → On-call engineer paged │
│ │
│ 7. slack_notify("#incidents", severity="critical") │
│ → Team notified with communication template │
│ │
│ 8. grafana_create_annotation("[P1 START] 22:15") │
│ → Incident marked on all dashboards │

3. Launch the full demo stack
cd docker
docker-compose up -d
| Service | URL | Credentials |
|---|---|---|
| Demo App | http://localhost:8080 | — |

| Grafana | http://localhost:3000 | admin / admin123 |
| Loki | http://localhost:3100 | — |
4. Trigger a real incident
# CPU spike → fires HighCPUUsage alert after 30s
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/simulate/cpu-spike
# Memory leak → fires HighMemoryUsage alert after 30s
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/simulate/memory-leak
# High error rate → fires HighErrorRate alert after 30s
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/simulate/high-errors
# Slow responses → fires SlowResponseTime alert after 30s
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/simulate/slow-response
# Reset all incidents
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/simulate/reset
5. Connect to Claude Desktop
Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Mac):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pilotops": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/full/path/to/PILOT_OPS-MCP/server.py"],
"env": {
"PROMETHEUS_URL": "http://localhost:9090",
"GRAFANA_URL": "http://localhost:3000",
"GRAFANA_API_KEY": "your_key",
"LOKI_URL": "http://localhost:3100",

"SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "your_token"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop → look for the 🔨 hammer icon in the chat bar.
6. Run your first incident response
You: "There's an active alert on prod, investigate and generate a runbook"
Claude: → Fetching active alerts from Prometheus...
→ Querying CPU and memory metrics...
→ Pulling last 15 minutes of error logs from Loki...
→ Analyzing correlation...
→ [P1] Memory leak detected in payments-api (confidence: HIGH)
→ Generating runbook...
→ Creating PagerDuty incident #42...
→ Notifying #incidents on Slack...

Example Runbook Output
📋 RUNBOOK: Memory Leak / OOM Incident
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Severity : P1 | SLA: 15 minutes
Services : payments-api
Hosts : prod-server-01
PHASE 1 — TRIAGE
1. Confirm memory usage: free -h or Grafana memory dashboard
2. Identify top memory consumers: ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20
3. Check OOM kills: dmesg | grep -i 'oom'
PHASE 2 — MITIGATION
1. Restart the affected service to free memory immediately
2. Enable memory limits (K8s: resources.limits.memory)
3. Set up swap if not present
PHASE 3 — INVESTIGATION
1. Collect heap dump (JVM: jmap, Go: pprof)
2. Review recent code changes for memory regressions
3. Check GC logs for anomalies
PHASE 4 — RESOLUTION
1. Deploy fix or roll back the problematic version
2. Verify memory returns to baseline
3. Resolve PagerDuty + post-mortem
💬 SLACK TEMPLATE:
[P1 INCIDENT] Memory Leak / OOM
• Affected: payments-api
• Hosts: prod-server-01
• Status: Investigating
• SLA: Resolve within 15 minutes
• Next update: In 15 minutes
