Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the Scout Monitoring MCP server?
Scout’s local MCP puts metrics, traces and errors right in your AI agent. For teams that do it all.
What tools does Scout Monitoring expose?
15 in total: 14 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Scout Monitoring safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does Scout Monitoring need?
It reads SCOUT_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Scout Monitoring run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @scout_apm/wizard at 2026.9.28.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (eb430205d27b), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
