# ThousandEyes MCP server

> Investigate internet outages, network anomalies, alerts, events and test results from ThousandEyes.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/thousandeyes
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Observability & Incidents](https://mcp.tc/c/observability)
- Vendor: Cisco ThousandEyes
- Homepage: <https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/integration-guides/thousandeyes-mcp-server>

## About

Connects an assistant to ThousandEyes network intelligence. It covers outages, anomalies, alerts, events and test results, so you can look into network and internet problems using ThousandEyes data.

The main endpoint is hosted at api.thousandeyes.com/mcp and uses streamable HTTP. Users sign in with OAuth, or send a ThousandEyes API token (Bearer or Basic) in the Authorization header. A separate public endpoint at api.thousandeyes.com/mcp-public offers internet-outage data with no login.

## What it can do

- Look up internet and network outages
- Review network anomalies
- Check alerts and events
- Inspect ThousandEyes test results
- Use a public endpoint for outage data without login

## Example prompts

- "Are there any internet outages affecting my users right now?"
- "Show active ThousandEyes alerts from the last 24 hours."
- "Summarize recent events and anomalies for my network tests."
- "What do the latest results say for my web application test?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http thousandeyes https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **thousandeyes** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Cisco ThousandEyes sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **ThousandEyes** and paste this URL:

```url
https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Cisco ThousandEyes asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=ThousandEyes&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.thousandeyes.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Cisco ThousandEyes asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Cisco ThousandEyes to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=thousandeyes&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS50aG91c2FuZGV5ZXMuY29tL21jcCJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thousandeyes": {
      "url": "https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=thousandeyes&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.thousandeyes.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"thousandeyes","type":"http","url":"https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "thousandeyes": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thousandeyes": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add thousandeyes --url https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp
codex mcp login thousandeyes
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.thousandeyes]
url = "https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http thousandeyes https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth thousandeyes` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thousandeyes": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://api.thousandeyes.com/mcp`.
