Self-Hosted MCP
Available in v1.30.19+

When running ScaleOps in self-hosted mode, you can enable the MCP server directly on your dashboard. MCP is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.

Step 1: Enable MCP

Add the following to your Helm values.yaml:


mcp:
  enabled: true

Authentication is handled automatically using the same identity provider configured for your dashboard.

Step 2: Connect Your MCP Client

Open Claude Desktop and go to Customize → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Enter the MCP server URL: https://<DASHBOARD_HOST>/mcp

Claude Code CLI

Using OAuth (browser-based):


claude mcp add --transport http scaleops https://<DASHBOARD_HOST>/mcp

Or using an API key (optional):

  --header "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>" \
  https://<DASHBOARD_HOST>/mcp
