Install Schema MCP Server

EXPERIMENTAL — v0.1.0
DOCUMENTATION
Connect your coding assistant to Schema MCP Server to get live, structured infrastructure guidance based on telemetry and observability signals.

General Instructions

1. Choose a client that supports MCP over HTTP transport.
2. Add Schema MCP with server name schema and URL https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp.
3. Verify the MCP server appears in your client's MCP server list.
4. Start with focused prompts, for example:
  • What metrics should I check first for Postgres replication lag?
  • Give me troubleshooting guidance for high Redis memory pressure.
  • What telemetry signals should gate a production rollback?

Claude Code

Run this command. See Claude Code MCP docs for more information.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http schema https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp
Optional verification:
claude mcp list

OpenAI Codex

Add Schema MCP as a remote HTTP server:
codex mcp add --transport http schema --url https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp
Optional verification:
codex mcp list

Cursor

Open Settings > MCP, click Add new MCP server, and configure:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "schema": {
      "url": "https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
See Cursor MCP docs for more details.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to your .vscode/mcp.json or user settings:
{
  "servers": {
    "schema": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Requires VS Code 1.99+ with MCP support enabled. See VS Code MCP docs.

Windsurf

Open Settings > Cascade > MCP and add the server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "schema": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed

Add to your Zed settings.json:
{
  "context_servers": {
    "schema": {
      "settings": {
        "url": "https://mcp.schema.ai/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add a Rule

To avoid having to ask explicitly each time, add a client rule so your assistant uses Schema MCP by default for infrastructure and observability tasks.
Claude Code: add a rule in CLAUDE.md. OpenAI Codex: add in AGENTS.md. Cursor: add in .cursor/rules.
Example rule:
Always use Schema MCP when I need infrastructure telemetry guidance, metric/insight lookups, troubleshooting steps, or platform-specific operational documentation without me having to explicitly ask.

Notes

  • Use the production endpoint above unless you are testing a local/private environment.
  • If your tool supports multiple MCP servers, keep the server name stable as schema.
