# MCP (Model Context Protocol) at PagerDuty

If you're looking to use MCP with PagerDuty, you've come to the right place!

MCP (or [Model Context Protocol]) is designed to allow agent-based clients to discover and use tools for
performing complex interactions via an API, based on [JSON-RPC].

PagerDuty's MCP server allows you to fetch and manage information in your PagerDuty account.

## Remote MCP Server

You can call our [Remote MCP Server][MCP API Reference]. This supports the same authentication methods as the REST API,
including API tokens and OAuth -- see our [authentication documentation] for more information.

Key URLs:

- MCP Base URL: `https://mcp.pagerduty.com/mcp`
- OAuth Metadata: `https://identity.pagerduty.com/global/oauth/anonymous/.well-known/openid-configuration`

You can see the full list of tools by calling the `list/tools` method.

### Sample configuration

Here is a sample MCP configuration for Microsoft Visual Studio Code:

```json
{
    "servers": {
    "pagerduty-mcp": {
        "url": "https://mcp.pagerduty.com/mcp",
        "type": "http",
        "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Token token=${input:pagerduty-api-key}"
        }
    }
    },
    "inputs": [
    {
        "type": "promptString",
        "id": "pagerduty-api-key",
        "description": "PagerDuty API Key",
        "password": true
    }
    ]
}
```
