This server includes built-in OpenTelemetry instrumentation using @theharithsa/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mcp.

Detailed guides for crafting effective prompts are available in the dynatrace-agent-rules/ folder:

• Node.js 18+
• npm 9+

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

# Run tests
npm test

1. Create a new file in src/capabilities/
2. Follow the existing Zod schema pattern
3. Register in src/index.ts
4. Add tests in test/

Create an API token with these scopes:

# Test connectivity
curl -H "Authorization: Api-Token YOUR_TOKEN" \
  "https://YOUR_CLUSTER/e/YOUR_ENV/api/v2/problems"

# Enable verbose logging
DEBUG=mcp:* npm start

If you encounter 'dynatrace-managed-mcp-server' is not recognized as an internal or external command when running npx @theharithsa/dynatrace-managed-mcp-server, the npm global bin folder may not be in your PATH.

Solution:

1. Add the npm global bin folder to your PATH:

   [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

2. Restart VS Code or your terminal for the PATH change to take effect.

3. Verify the installation:

   npx @theharithsa/dynatrace-managed-mcp-server --help

If you've installed the package globally, you can run it directly:

npm install -g @theharithsa/dynatrace-managed-mcp-server
dynatrace-managed-mcp-server --help
