# Rootly MCP Server
[](https://pypi.org/project/rootly-mcp-server/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/rootly-mcp-server/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/rootly-mcp-server/)
An MCP server for the [Rootly API](https://docs.rootly.com/api-reference/overview) for Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, and other MCP clients.

## Quick Start
Use the hosted MCP server. No local installation required.
### Hosted Transport Options
- **Streamable HTTP (recommended):** `https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp`
- **Code Mode:** `https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp-codemode`
- **SSE (deprecated, removed after 2026-11-20):** `https://mcp.rootly.com/sse`
> [!WARNING]
> **SSE is deprecated.** The hosted `https://mcp.rootly.com/sse` endpoint and the self-hosted `--transport sse` option will be removed after **2026-11-20**. Switch your client to Streamable HTTP (`https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp`) or Code Mode (`https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp-codemode`); for most clients that means changing the URL and, if your client config has one, setting the transport to `http`/`streamable-http`. SSE responses now carry `Deprecation`, `Sunset` and `Link: rel="successor-version"` headers.
### Toolsets
Every client loads the whole tool list into the model's context: the full surface is about 125k tokens. Tools are grouped into **toolsets** (the same model as GitHub's and Datadog's MCP servers) so a client can load only what it needs. **Recommended: `?toolsets=core`**, about 29 tools and 10k tokens. Without a selection you still get every tool, so existing configurations keep working.
| Toolset | What it covers |
|---|---|
| `core` (recommended) | Everyday incident response: find and update incidents, alerts, who is on call (~29 tools) |
| `incidents` | Action items, events, roles, retrospectives, form field selections, meeting recordings |
| `alerts` | Alerts, alert sources, routes and routing rules, urgencies, heartbeats, live call routers |
| `oncall` | Schedules, rotations, shifts, overrides, escalation policies and paths |
| `workflows` | Workflows, workflow runs and playbooks; view a workflow's steps |
| `workflow_tasks` | Add or edit the steps a workflow runs: post to Slack, page on-call, open a ticket, call a URL |
| `catalog` | Services, functionalities, teams, environments, catalogs |
| `status_pages` | Status pages, templates, pulses |
| `config` | Severities, causes, incident types, forms, retrospective processes, dashboards |
| `users` | Users, notification rules, contact methods |
| `ai` | AI SRE investigations and AI skills |
| `automations` | AI automations: prompts Rootly AI runs on its own, on a schedule or trigger |
| `observability` | Rootly Observability logs and patterns |
| `audit` | Audit log |
- **Pick toolsets:** `https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp?toolsets=core,workflows`, or send `X-MCP-Toolsets: core,workflows`
- **Actions that run later are separate:** `workflow_tasks` and `automations` set up things Rootly does on its own afterwards (workflow steps, AI automations). Leave them out to let an assistant read and use workflows and AI investigations without being able to set those up
- **Everything:** `?toolsets=all` (about 280 tools)
- **Read-only:** add `readonly=true` (or `X-MCP-Readonly: true`), e.g. `?toolsets=all&readonly=true`. Any value other than `false`/`0`/`no`/`off` turns it on. Write tools are hidden and refused, and the server also refuses any non-GET request to the Rootly API on that connection. It is a per-connection guard; for a hard guarantee, connect with a Rootly API key whose role cannot write
- **Deprecated: `?tool_profile=` and `X-Rootly-Tool-Profile`.** They still work (`full`/`all` mean `?toolsets=all`; `slim` keeps its fixed ~85-tool list) and will be removed; switch to `?toolsets=`. Each use is logged so remaining clients can be found
- **Server-wide default:** `ROOTLY_MCP_TOOLSETS=core,alerts` sets what a client gets with no selection (default `all`); `ROOTLY_MCP_HOSTED_TOOL_PROFILE=slim` makes slim the default instead
- **Exact custom override:** `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS=...` replaces toolsets entirely
A tool outside the selection is refused with the toolset that holds it (`list_workflows is not available here: it is in the 'workflows' toolset ... Reconnect with ?toolsets=core,workflows`), and the server instructions list every toolset, so an assistant can tell you the exact change. Code Mode (`/mcp-codemode`) always has the full catalog; `readonly=true` applies there too, to every tool a script calls. `readonly` also applies under the slim profile and `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS`.
### General Remote Setup
**With OAuth2 (recommended):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"url": "https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Your MCP client handles OAuth2 login automatically — a browser window opens for you to authenticate with Rootly. No API token needed.
**With API Token:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"url": "https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ROOTLY_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
```
Code Mode:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"url": "https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp-codemode"
}
}
}
```
If your config still points at `https://mcp.rootly.com/sse`, replace it with `https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp` before 2026-11-20 (SSE is deprecated, see above).
### Agent Setup
Claude Code
**With OAuth2 (recommended):**
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http rootly https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp
# Code Mode:
claude mcp add --transport http rootly-codemode https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp-codemode
```
**With API Token:**
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http rootly https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ROOTLY_API_TOKEN"
```
**Manual Configuration** — Create `.mcp.json` in your project root:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```

"--transport",
"http",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer "
]
}
}
}
```
Databricks
Register the hosted server in Unity Gateway so Supervisor Agent, AI Playground, and other Databricks agents can use it:
1. In your workspace, open **Unity Gateway > MCPs**, click **+ MCP**, and choose **Connect an existing MCP server**.
2. Pick a catalog and schema, name the MCP, and create a new connection with URL `https://mcp.rootly.com/mcp`.
3. Choose an authentication method:
- **Dynamic Client Registration (recommended):** each user signs in to Rootly with their own account.
- **Bearer token:** paste a Rootly API token.
4. Click **Create & load tools**, click **Login** if prompted, and select the tools to expose.
Or create the connection with the Databricks SDK:
```python
from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient
from databricks.sdk.service import catalog as c
WorkspaceClient().connections.create(
name="rootly_connection",
parent="schemas/main.default",
connection_type=c.ConnectionType.HTTP,
options={
"host": "https://mcp.rootly.com",
"port": "443",
"base_path": "/mcp",
"bearer_token": "",
},
)
```
The full profile exposes about 250 tools. Use Unity Gateway tool selection to expose only what your agents need. See [docs/databricks-marketplace.md](docs/databricks-marketplace.md) for the Marketplace listing details.
## Rootly CLI
Standalone CLI for incidents, alerts, services, and on-call operations.
Install via Homebrew:
```bash
brew install rootlyhq/tap/rootly-cli
```
Or via Go:
```bash
go install github.com/rootlyhq/rootly-cli/cmd/rootly@latest
```
For more details, see the [Rootly CLI repository](https://github.com/rootlyhq/rootly-cli).
## Alternative Installation (Local)
Run the MCP server locally if you do not want to use the hosted service.
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- `uv` package manager
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
- [Rootly API token](https://docs.rootly.com/api-reference/overview#how-to-generate-an-api-key%3F)
### API Token Types
Choose the token type based on the access you need:
- **Global API Key**: Full access across the Rootly instance. Best for organization-wide visibility.
- **Team API Key**: Access limited to entities owned by that team.
- **Personal API Key**: Access matches the user who created it.
A **Global API Key** is recommended for organization-wide queries and for actions that modify data, especially when workflows may span multiple teams, schedules, or incidents.
### With uv
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"tool",
"run",
"--from",
"rootly-mcp-server",
"rootly-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"ROOTLY_API_TOKEN": "",
"ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS": "true"
}
}
}
}
```
## Self-Hosted Transport Options
Choose one transport per server process:
- **Streamable HTTP** endpoint path: `/mcp`
- **SSE (deprecated, removed after 2026-11-20)** endpoint path: `/sse`. `--transport sse` logs a deprecation warning at startup; use `--transport streamable-http` instead.
- **Code Mode (experimental)** endpoint path: `/mcp-codemode` in hosted dual-transport mode. One `execute` call may make at most 50 tool calls; set `ROOTLY_CODE_MODE_MAX_TOOL_CALLS` to a positive integer to change that.
- Hosted default: full surface; `?toolsets=core` for the recommended small one (see [Toolsets](#toolsets))
- Hosted slim profile (deprecated): about 85 high-usage tools via `?tool_profile=slim`
- Self-hosted default: full surface (`ROOTLY_MCP_TOOLSETS` narrows it)
To restrict either deployment to read-only tools, start the server with `--no-enable-write-tools` or set `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS=false`.
For hosted clients, choose toolsets with `?toolsets=` on the MCP URL or the `X-MCP-Toolsets` header (see [Toolsets](#toolsets)).
To override the hosted or self-hosted default profile entirely, set `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS` (or pass `--enabled-tools`) with a comma-separated allowlist of exact tool names. When that variable is set, it fully replaces the default selection.
To expose only a specific subset of MCP tools on a self-hosted deployment, set `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS` (or pass `--enabled-tools`) with a comma-separated allowlist of exact tool names, for example `list_incidents,get_incident,get_server_version`.
### PostHog MCP analytics
Hosted deployments send MCP telemetry to PostHog only. Setting
`POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN` (and optionally `POSTHOG_HOST`, default
`https://us.i.posthog.com`) sends `$mcp_*` events with no injected `context`,
`conversation_id` or `llm_model` parameters, credential scrubbing before send,
and hosted users identified by Rootly user ID only. Without the token (the
default for local and self-hosted installs) nothing is sent.
Failed calls carry the real exception type, the upstream HTTP status and an
`mcp_error_expected` flag. Expected failures (guided errors and Rootly API
401/403/404/409/429 answers) open no Error Tracking issue. On the stateless
hosted transport, PostHog sessions are tied together through the
`Mcp-Session-Id` header minted at `initialize`. Clients holding a cached tool
list that still send `context` or `session_id` are tolerated; the stray
argument is dropped before validation.
### OpenAI Apps domain verification
Hosted deployments expose an unauthenticated domain-verification endpoint used by the OpenAI plugin directory:
- **Endpoint:** `GET /.well-known/openai-apps-challenge`
- **Environment variable:** `ROOTLY_OPENAI_APPS_CHALLENGE_TOKEN`
Set `ROOTLY_OPENAI_APPS_CHALLENGE_TOKEN` to the token generated in the OpenAI submission portal. The endpoint returns that exact token as `text/plain` (with `Cache-Control: no-store`), and returns `404` when the variable is unset or empty. The token is read from the environment at request time — never hardcode or commit it. The route is served on both the dual-transport (`--transport both`) and profiled streamable-HTTP hosted deployments and is not subject to Bearer authentication.
To discover the exact tool names available under your current self-hosted configuration, run:
```bash
ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
uv run python -m rootly_mcp_server --list-tools
```
This prints the effective MCP tool names after applying your current settings, including `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS` and `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS`.
Smoke-test a self-hosted allowlist:
```bash
ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS=list_incidents,get_incident,get_server_version \
uv run python -m rootly_mcp_server --transport streamable-http --log-level ERROR
```
Then connect an MCP client to `http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp` and verify `tools/list` returns only:
```text
get_server_version
get_incident
list_incidents
```
To include specific write tools for self-hosted testing, add both the write flag and the allowlist:
```bash
ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS=true \
ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS=create_incident,create_workflow_task,list_teams \
uv run python -m rootly_mcp_server --transport streamable-http --log-level ERROR
```
Example Docker run (Streamable HTTP):
```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e ROOTLY_TRANSPORT=streamable-http \
-e ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
-e ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS=true \
rootly-mcp-server
```
Example Docker run (SSE, deprecated: removed after 2026-11-20, use Streamable HTTP above):
```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e ROOTLY_TRANSPORT=sse \
-e ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
rootly-mcp-server
```
Example Docker run (Dual transport + Code Mode; the `/sse` endpoint it also serves is deprecated):
```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e ROOTLY_TRANSPORT=both \
-e ROOTLY_API_TOKEN= \
rootly-mcp-server
```

### OpenAPI-Generated Tools
> **Tool naming:** all tools use `snake_case`. The historical `camelCase` names
> (e.g. `getScheduleShifts`, `listIncidents`) are no longer advertised in
> `tools/list`, but remain callable as hidden aliases — they are transparently
> routed to their `snake_case` canonical. Update configs and `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS`
> allowlists to the `snake_case` names; legacy camelCase allowlist entries are
> auto-canonicalized.

**Major Expansion**: This version includes 50+ new endpoints covering communications, dashboards, playbooks, post-incident reviews, monitoring, and advanced form management - while carefully excluding security-sensitive operations like API key management, user creation/deletion, role management, and webhook configuration.
Delete operations remain disabled in the default tool surface.
## On-Call Health Integration (Self-Hosted Only)
Integrates with [On-Call Health](https://oncallhealth.ai) to detect workload health risk in scheduled responders.
`check_oncall_health_risk` is unavailable on the hosted MCP service, including
the full and slim profiles, SSE, Streamable HTTP, and Code Mode. It is not
registered in hosted mode, so an API key or `ROOTLY_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS` allowlist
cannot enable it. Ordinary on-call scheduling and incident tools remain available.
Self-hosted deployments retain this integration. Operators are responsible for
appropriate employee disclosure and data handling for their deployment.
### Setup
Set the `ONCALLHEALTH_API_KEY` environment variable:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rootly": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "rootly-mcp-server", "rootly-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"ROOTLY_API_TOKEN": "your_rootly_token",
"ONCALLHEALTH_API_KEY": "och_live_your_key"
}
}
}
}
```
### Usage
```
check_oncall_health_risk(
start_date="2026-02-09",
end_date="2026-02-15"
)
```
Returns at-risk users who are scheduled, recommended safe replacements, and action summaries.
## Example Skills
Pre-built Claude Code skills:
### 🚨 [Rootly Incident Responder](examples/skills/rootly-incident-responder.md)
This skill:
- Analyzes production incidents with full context
- Finds similar historical incidents using ML-based similarity matching
- Suggests solutions based on past successful resolutions
- Coordinates with on-call teams across timezones
- Correlates incidents with recent code changes and deployments
- Creates action items and remediation plans
- Provides confidence scores and time estimates
**Quick Start:**
```bash
# Copy the skill to your project
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp examples/skills/rootly-incident-responder.md .claude/skills/
# Then in Claude Code, invoke it:
# @rootly-incident-responder analyze incident #12345
```
It demonstrates a full incident response workflow using Rootly tools and GitHub context.
### On-Call Shift Metrics
Get on-call shift metrics for any time period, grouped by user, team, or schedule. Includes primary/secondary role tracking, shift counts, hours, and days on-call.
```
get_oncall_shift_metrics(
start_date="2025-10-01",
end_date="2025-10-31",
group_by="user"
)
```
### On-Call Handoff Summary
Complete handoff: current/next on-call + incidents during shifts.
```python
# All on-call (any timezone)
get_oncall_handoff_summary(team_ids="team-1,team-2", timezone="America/Los_Angeles")
# Regional filter - only show APAC on-call during APAC business hours
get_oncall_handoff_summary(timezone="Asia/Tokyo", filter_by_region=True)
```
Regional filtering shows only people on-call during business hours (9am-5pm) in the specified timezone.
Returns: `schedules` with `current_oncall`, `next_oncall`, and `shift_incidents`
### MCP Resources for Context
AI agents can access these resources for situational awareness:
- **`incident://{incident_id}`** - Detailed incident information for specific incidents
- **`team://{team_id}`** - Team details including name, color, and metadata
- **`rootly://incidents`** - List of recent incidents for quick reference
- **`rootly://oncall-status`** - Current on-call status across all schedules (critical for incident response)
- **`rootly://workflow-guide`** - Step-by-step workflow guidance for common operations
Example usage: *"Check the current on-call status"* → AI reads `rootly://oncall-status` resource
### Shift Incidents
Incidents during a time period, with filtering by severity/status/tags.
```python
get_shift_incidents(
start_time="2025-10-20T09:00:00Z",
end_time="2025-10-20T17:00:00Z",
severity="critical", # optional
status="resolved", # optional
tags="database,api", # optional
)
```
Returns: `incidents` list + `summary` (counts, avg resolution time, grouping)
