This is a Kibana MCP server implementation that allows MCP-compatible clients to access a Kibana instance via natural language or programmatic requests.
From the registry: Kibana MCP Server with dynamic API discovery and comprehensive Elastic Stack integration

Please install the `kibana` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Node.js 18+** — Requires Node.js 18 or newer
- **Kibana API key** — Create an API key in Kibana for authentication
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["@tocharianou/mcp-server-kibana"]
- required environment variables:
- `KIBANA_URL`: Kibana server URL (example: `http://localhost:5601`)
- `KIBANA_API_KEY`: Kibana API key (base64 encoded) (example: `<your-api-key>`)
- optional environment variables:
- `KIBANA_USERNAME`: Basic auth username (alternative to API key)
- `KIBANA_PASSWORD`: Basic auth password (alternative to API key)
- `KIBANA_COOKIES`: Session cookies (alternative auth)
- `KIBANA_DEFAULT_SPACE`: Default Kibana space (example: `default`)
- `KIBANA_CA_CERT`: CA certificate path
- `KIBANA_TIMEOUT`: Request timeout in ms (example: `30000`)
Note: At least one authentication method (API key, basic auth, or cookies) is required.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.KIBANA_URLrequiredKibana server addressKIBANA_API_KEYrequiredAPI Key (base64 encoded)
