Uptrace MCP Server: Auto-Generate Dashboards with AI in Minutes

Apr 20, 2026

Tired of clicking through menus to build observability dashboards? In this video I walk through how to configure the Uptrace MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and connect it to an AI assistant so your dashboards get created automatically from natural-language prompts.

You'll learn how to:

  • Install and configure the Uptrace MCP server
  • Connect it to your MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
  • Authenticate against your Uptrace project
  • Prompt the assistant to generate dashboards, panels, and queries on the fly
  • Iterate on layouts and metrics without touching the UI

By the end you'll have a working setup where describing what you want to monitor is enough to get a real, shareable dashboard in Uptrace.
