Monitor

Please install the `monitor` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js 20+** — Node.js version 20 or newer is required to run the MCP server via npx.

Optional prerequisites:
- Create a BetterDB MCP token — In BetterDB, go to Settings → MCP Tokens and generate a token. Required for BetterDB cloud; optional for local development against an existing local monitor. (https://betterdb.com)
- Have a BetterDB instance available — Use a running BetterDB instance (cloud or self-hosted), or use the MCP server's --autostart mode to automatically start and manage a local monitor process. (https://docs.betterdb.com)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["@betterdb/mcp"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `BETTERDB_URL`: BetterDB instance URL. Required when connecting to a cloud or existing self-hosted/local BetterDB monitor. Not needed when using zero-config local development with --autostart. (example: `https://<your-workspace>.app.betterdb.com`)
  - `BETTERDB_TOKEN`: BetterDB MCP token from Settings. Required for BetterDB cloud; optional for local development against an existing local monitor. (example: `<your-token>`)
  - `BETTERDB_INSTANCE_ID`: Pre-select a specific BetterDB instance and skip the select_instance step. (example: `<your-instance-id>`)

Note: Primary portable install path uses npx @betterdb/mcp over stdio. Alternate repeatable configs described in the README include: (1) existing local monitor with env BETTERDB_URL=<your-local-url>; (2) zero-config local development using args ["@betterdb/mcp", "--autostart", "--persist"] and no env vars. Additional CLI args supported: --autostart, --persist, --port <number>, --storage <type>, and --stop.

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.
