If we are caching the http client, we should reuse as much as possible to reuse connections. Otherwise it's an incomplete attempt to cache the http client. Understood. Why is the client storing the apikey? If we are caching the http client, we should reuse as much as possible to reuse connections. Otherwise it's an incomplete attempt to cache the http client. If the answer to this is "legacy" code, please take it up as an enhancement to be done later. _Originally posted by @therealpandey in https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/pull/63#discussion_r2955296138_ [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/69) · 2026-03-18 · closed · outside contributor · 2 comments ### Add tools to mcp server to support update_alert The SigNoz MCP Server only supports read-only alert operations (list alerts, get alert details, get alert history).

An agent today can search and aggregate logs, but can't answer "why isn't this log being parsed/enriched the way I expect" — that requires a human to open the SigNoz UI and check pipeline config directly.

The MCP server currently exposes `signoz_list_services` and `signoz_get_service_top_operations`, but nothing surfaces the actual dependency edges between services. This is a real gap for diagnostic workflows: answering "is the checkout failure caused by something downstream" requires knowing what checkout actually calls, which today requires leaving the chat to check the SigNo [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/269) · 2026-08-03 · open · external user · 0 comments ### Add tools to list, create, and delete planned-maintenance (downtime) schedules > **Edited after digging into the SigNoz source — my original framing was wrong.** I opened this asking for Alertmanager *silence* tools. There is no silences API in SigNoz: `pkg/alertmanager/handler.go`'s `Handler` interface has no silence method, `pkg/apiserver/signozapiserver/alertmanager.go` exposes only channels / route policies / alerts, and Alertmanager is embedded as a library (`pkg/alertmanager/alertmanagerserver/server.go`) rather than run as a process, so upstream's `/api/v2/silences` [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/268) · 2026-08-03 · open · external user · 0 comments ### [foundry] docker healthcheck always fails on `signoz/signoz-mcp-server:latest`: image ships no `wget` (or any shell/coreutils) **Environment** - Image: `signoz/signoz-mcp-server:latest`, digest `sha256:da4fb0379d603a492fdbc0f384854f7d412a4c43347df2e086d17fc16770dd00` (build tag `main-2a64f20`, confirmed via Docker Hub API as the newest published build, 2026-07-17, still current at verification time 2026-07-19) - Deployed via Foundry `foundryctl v0.2.14` (commit `6133128`), Docker Compose flavor, MCP enabled via `spec.mcp.spec.enabled: true` - Host: macOS (Apple Silicon), Docker Desktop, Docker Engine 29.6.1, Compose v5 [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/246) · 2026-07-18 · open · external user · 0 comments ### signoz_get_trace_details omits span links/references — async producer↔consumer traces can't be correlated `signoz_get_trace_details` is described as "Get full trace with all spans", but the returned spans never include **span links** (OTel `Links` / references). ## Root cause (Unverified claude research: ) `BuildTracesQueryPayload` (`pkg/types/querybuilder.go:550`) hardcodes the `SelectFields` list, and there is no entry for span links/references.

This is because it queries `/api/v1/alerts` (which only returns **currently firing** alerts) instead of `/api/v1/rules` (which returns all defined alert rules). ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Define alert rules in SigNoz (we have 16 rules, all in OK/inactive state) 2.

The current behavior is that `timeRange` **defaults to `1h`** and **always overrides** `start`/`end`. This makes it impossible to query arbitrary date ranges using explicit timestamps, because the default `timeRange: "1h"` silently takes precedence even when `start`/`end` are exp [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/110) · 2026-04-08 · closed · external user · 2 comments ### timeout and body size limit is not defined there are three things which are not handled in server - read/write timeout - stateful/stateless nature of server - request/response body size limit [Read the thread](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-mcp-server/issues/70) · 2026-03-18 · closed · outside contributor · 1 comment ### Error in opencode I get this error in opencode on the latest version `Invalid schema for function 'signoz_signoz_create_dashboard': In context=('properties', 'widgets', 'items', 'properties', 'query', 'properties', 'builder', 'properties', 'queryData', 'items', 'properties', 'functions', 'items', 'properties', 'args'), array schema items is not an object.` this code change fixes it
