Honeycomb’s MCP server lets agents query observability data, inspect environments, and analyze traces and logs. It supports per-user OAuth and shared Management API key authentication.

​
Prerequisites

  • A TrueFoundry account with permission to add MCP servers.
  • A Honeycomb team with Honeycomb Intelligence enabled.

​
Register with OAuth

In MCP Gateway, add a remote MCP server with the regional URL and choose OAuth2. Add collaborators and save. Users should open the server’s Tools section and click Connect Now; after OAuth succeeds, Honeycomb tools appear and can be tried from the Agent Playground.

​
Register with a Management API Key

Team owners can create a Management API key under Account > Team Settings > API Keys. Grant Model Context Protocol: Read and Environments: Read; add Model Context Protocol: Write only for tools such as board creation. In TrueFoundry, configure shared API key authentication and send the key as a bearer token in the format KEY_ID:SECRET_KEY.

​
Security Notes

OAuth gives the cleanest user attribution. If you use a Management API key, store both the Key ID and Secret Key securely because the secret is shown only once.
