How do I install Infra Lens MCP?

Run `npx -y infra-lens-mcp`. The README documents 8 environment variables (INFRA_LENS_DB, MCP_HTTP_HOST, INFRA_LENS_OBSERVABILITY_ENABLED…) to set first. Set INFRA_LENS_DB, MCP_HTTP_HOST, INFRA_LENS_OBSERVABILITY_ENABLED, INFRA_LENS_E2E_SKIP_FIXTURE, MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, MCP_HTTP_AUTH_MODE, MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Infra Lens MCP run locally?

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