Jaeger MCP

MCP server for Jaeger distributed tracing. Give Claude (or any MCP-capable agent) read access to your trace data - search traces, inspect spans, compare traces, compute span statistics, map service dependencies, predict performance issues, and forecast capacity needs - without leaving the conversation. Its 15 documented tools cover jaeger, traces, compare, test.

People who work with jaeger, traces and compare and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Jaeger MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set JAEGER_URL, JAEGER_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mshegolev-jaeger-mcp -- uvx jaeger-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mshegolev-jaeger-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "jaeger-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package jaeger-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.mshegolev is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Jaeger MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list all instrumented services, list operation names for a service, search traces with rich filters, and classify per-operation regressions between two time windows.

The 15 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what jaeger-mcp lets an agent do.

jaeger_list_services: - List all instrumented services
jaeger_list_operations: - List operation names for a service
jaeger_search_traces: - Search traces with rich filters
jaeger_get_trace: - Full trace detail with span tree
jaeger_get_dependencies: - Service-to-service call graph
jaeger_compare_traces: - Structural diff between two traces
jaeger_span_statistics: - Per-operation latency and error stats
jaeger_critical_path: - Longest-duration span chain and bottleneck ranking
jaeger_compare_windows: - Aggregate trace behavior diff between two time periods
jaeger_detect_anomalies: - Statistical latency/error-rate spike detection per operation
jaeger_predict_degradation: - Predict performance degradation 2-24 hours in advance
jaeger_forecast_capacity: - Forecast throughput demands and resource requirements

show all 15 tools

jaeger_find_test_traces: - Correlate a test run to its traces by tag query (Allure/pytest/custom)
jaeger_regression_diff: - Classify per-operation regressions between two time windows

06 · Jaeger MCP FAQ

Is Jaeger MCP still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-08-12 and it shipped 5 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

What can Jaeger MCP do?

How do I install Jaeger MCP?

Run `uvx jaeger-mcp`. The README documents 2 environment variables (JAEGER_URL, JAEGER_TOKEN) to set first. Set JAEGER_URL, JAEGER_TOKEN before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Jaeger MCP run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
