Netdata
Real-time infrastructure metrics, logs, alerts, and diagnosis.
Netdata MCP gives an agent access to live operational evidence instead of static monitoring screenshots. It can surface alerts, metrics, nodes, and diagnostic context across connected infrastructure so investigations can move from a symptom to the underlying system data in one workflow.
