  Link GitHub (username) to InariWatch? (y/N) y
    ✓ GitHub linked (username)

  Installing @inariwatch/capture
    ✓ @inariwatch/capture installed
    ✓ next.config wrapped with withInariWatch
    ✓ instrumentation.ts created

  Enable Substrate I/O recording? (y/N) y
    ✓ INARIWATCH_SUBSTRATE=true added to .env

  Done! MCP in 4 tools + capture SDK + Substrate I/O.

What it does

| Step | What happens | You do | |------|-------------|--------| | Detect | Scans your machine for AI coding tools | Nothing | | Auth | Opens browser for secure device-flow login | Click "Approve" | | Configure MCP | Writes MCP config to every detected tool | Nothing | | Install SDK | Adds @inariwatch/capture to your project | Nothing | | Link GitHub | Connects your GitHub account | Type y (optional) |

One command. Five steps. All automatic.

Supported tools

| Tool | Detection | MCP config location | |------|-----------|-------------------| | Claude Code | claude in PATH | claude mcp add | | Cursor | Config directory | ~/.cursor/mcp.json | | Windsurf | Config directory | ~/.windsurf/mcp.json | | VS Code + Copilot | code in PATH | .vscode/mcp.json | | Codex CLI | codex in PATH | codex mcp add | | Gemini CLI | gemini in PATH | gemini mcp add |

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Paths resolve per-platform automatically.

What your AI tool gets

Once configured, your AI coding tool has access to 25 MCP tools:

| Tool | What it does | |------|-------------| | query_alerts | Search and filter your alerts | | trigger_fix | Start AI-powered remediation | | assess_risk | Analyze PR risk before merge | | search_codebase | Semantic code search (pgvector + BM25) | | get_root_cause | AI root cause analysis | | rollback_vercel | One-click deploy rollback | | ask_inari | Chat with your monitoring data | | get_error_trends | Error trend analytics | | run_health_check | Production health check | | simulate_fix | Test a fix before applying | | ... | 15 more tools |

Plus 4 resources (critical alerts, recent alerts, status overview, active remediations), 7 prompts (diagnose, status-report, fix-this, post-deploy-check, weekly-summary, production-health-check, daily-report), and real-time alert streaming.

Options

npx @inariwatch/mcp init [options]

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | --token <token> | Skip browser auth, use an existing API token | | --no-capture | Skip @inariwatch/capture SDK installation |

Framework detection

When run inside a Node.js project, init also installs the @inariwatch/capture SDK:

| Framework | What it does | |-----------|-------------| | Next.js | Installs SDK, wraps next.config with withInariWatch, creates instrumentation.ts | | Node.js | Installs SDK (use --import @inariwatch/capture/auto to activate) |

Detects your package manager automatically (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun).

Manual setup

If you'd rather configure one tool manually:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add inariwatch https://mcp.inariwatch.com -t http -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor / Windsurf — add to mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inariwatch": {
      "url": "https://mcp.inariwatch.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "inariwatch": {
      "url": "https://mcp.inariwatch.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Get your token at app.inariwatch.com/settings.

How it works

The MCP server runs at mcp.inariwatch.com using Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0). Auth uses Bearer tokens with SHA-256 hashing. Rate limits apply per tool tier:

| Tier | Limit | Tools | |------|-------|-------| | Cheap | 200/min | query_alerts, get_status, get_uptime | | Moderate | 30/min | assess_risk, get_root_cause, ask_inari | | Expensive | 5/min | trigger_fix, rollback_vercel, simulate_fix |

Every tool call is logged to the audit trail.
