PagerDuty's official MCP Server

PagerDuty's local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server which provides tools to interact with your PagerDuty account, allowing you to manage incidents, services, schedules, event orchestrations, and more directly from your MCP-enabled client.

Quick start

You need uv and a PagerDuty User API Token — see Prerequisites and Authentication.

PAGERDUTY_USER_API_KEY="your-token" uvx pagerduty-mcp

By default only read-only tools are exposed. Add --enable-write-tools to allow tools that modify your PagerDuty account. Then point your MCP client at the server — Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or Docker.

Prefer no local install? PagerDuty hosts a Remote MCP Server with OAuth support.
