# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
InfluxDB MCP Server - A Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants to interact with InfluxDB v2 time-series databases. Built with TypeScript, using the MCP SDK, axios for HTTP, and zod for validation.
## Build and Development Commands
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build TypeScript to JavaScript
npm run build
# Watch mode for development (rebuilds on file changes)
npm run watch
# Run the compiled server
npm start
# Run with custom environment variables
INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086 INFLUX_TOKEN=your_token INFLUX_ORG=your_org node dist/index.js
```
## Architecture Overview
### Three-Layer Structure
1. **index.ts** - MCP Server Implementation
- Defines MCP resources (read-only URIs like `influx://health`, `influx://buckets`)
- Defines MCP tools (actions like `query_flux`, `write_data`, `create_bucket`)
- Handles tool execution and resource reading via request handlers
- Environment variable validation using Zod schema
- Startup health check verifies InfluxDB connection before serving
2. **influx-client.ts** - InfluxDB REST API Client
- Axios-based HTTP client with token authentication
- Methods for all InfluxDB v2 API endpoints (query, write, buckets, orgs, tasks, dashboards)
- Query response parsing from JSON format
- Centralized error formatting via `formatError()` static method
- Schema discovery using Flux `schema.measurements()`, `schema.measurementTagKeys()`, `schema.measurementFieldKeys()`
3. **types.ts** - TypeScript Type Definitions
- Complete interfaces for all InfluxDB entities
- InfluxConfig, HealthStatus, Organization, Bucket, Task, Dashboard
- QueryResult, QueryTable for query responses
- BucketSchema, Measurement, FieldInfo for schema discovery
- WritePrecision type: 'ns' | 'us' | 'ms' | 's'
### Communication Flow
```
MCP Client → stdio → InfluxDBMCPServer → InfluxDBClient → InfluxDB REST API
```
The server runs on stdio (stdin/stdout) for MCP protocol communication. All logging goes to stderr to avoid interfering with the protocol.
## Key Implementation Details
### Environment Configuration
Required environment variables validated at startup:
- `INFLUX_URL` - InfluxDB server URL (must be valid URL)
- `INFLUX_TOKEN` - Authentication token (required)
- `INFLUX_ORG` - Organization name (optional, can be provided per-request)
Configuration is validated using Zod schema in `loadConfig()` function.
### MCP Resources vs Tools
**Resources** are read-only URIs that expose InfluxDB state:
- `influx://health` - Server health
- `influx://buckets` - All buckets
- `influx://buckets/{id}` - Specific bucket
- `influx://orgs` - All organizations
- `influx://tasks` - Scheduled tasks
- `influx://dashboards` - Dashboards
**Tools** are actions that can modify state or query data:
- `query_flux` - Execute Flux queries (requires query string, optional org)
- `write_data` - Write line protocol data (requires bucket, org, data, optional precision)
- `create_bucket` - Create bucket (requires name, org_id, optional retention_seconds, description)
- `delete_bucket` - Delete bucket (requires bucket_id)
- `list_measurements` - List measurements in bucket (requires bucket, optional start/stop)
- `get_bucket_schema` - Get schema info (requires bucket, optional start/stop)
### Error Handling Pattern
All errors are centralized through `InfluxDBClient.formatError()`:
- Axios errors → extracted response message or request error
- InfluxDB API errors → formatted with status code and message
- All errors wrapped in `McpError` with appropriate error codes
### Query Response Parsing
InfluxDB returns JSON when Accept header is `application/json`. The `parseQueryResponse()` method in influx-client.ts handles multiple response formats:
- Array of records
- Single object
- Nested structure with `records` array
Returns structured `QueryResult` with tables containing columns and records.
### Schema Discovery Implementation
`getBucketSchema()` performs multiple queries:
1. Lists all measurements using `schema.measurements()`
2. For each measurement, queries tags and fields in parallel
3. Combines results into structured `BucketSchema`
Time ranges default to -7d for schema, -30d for measurements.
## Line Protocol Format
When writing data, use InfluxDB line protocol:
```
measurement[,tag=value...] field=value[,field=value...] [timestamp]
```
Examples:
```
temperature,location=office value=22.5
cpu,host=server1 usage=45.2 1672531200000000000
weather,location=garden temperature=22.5,humidity=65.2
```
## TypeScript Configuration
- Target: ES2022
- Module: Node16 (ES modules with .js extensions in imports)
- Strict mode enabled
- Source maps and declarations generated
- Output: `dist/` directory
All imports must use `.js` extension (e.g., `import { X } from './types.js'`) even though source files are `.ts`.
## Common Development Tasks
### Adding a New MCP Tool
1. Add tool definition to `ListToolsRequestSchema` handler in index.ts
2. Add case to switch statement in `CallToolRequestSchema` handler
3. Implement method in InfluxDBClient if calling new InfluxDB API
4. Add types to types.ts if needed
### Adding a New MCP Resource
1. Add resource definition to `ListResourcesRequestSchema` handler
2. Add URI handling in `ReadResourceRequestSchema` handler
3. Implement method in InfluxDBClient to fetch data
4. Return formatted JSON response
### Testing Changes
After modifying code:
1. Run `npm run build` to compile
2. Test with: `INFLUX_URL=... INFLUX_TOKEN=... INFLUX_ORG=... node dist/index.js`
3. Server will log connection success to stderr
4. Test in Claude Desktop or other MCP client
## Flux Query Language Notes
Flux is InfluxDB's query language. Common patterns:
```flux
// Basic range query
from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu")
// Aggregation
from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -24h)
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)
// Schema discovery
import "influxdata/influxdb/schema"
schema.measurements(bucket: "my-bucket", start: -30d)
```
Time formats: Relative (`-1h`, `-7d`, `-30d`) or absolute (`2024-01-01T00:00:00Z`)
## Important Constraints
- **Bucket Creation**: Requires organization ID (not name). Use `getOrgByName()` or read `influx://orgs` resource first.
- **Query Organization**: If `INFLUX_ORG` not set in environment, must provide `org` parameter to `query_flux` tool.
- **Write Precision**: Defaults to nanoseconds ('ns'). Timestamps must match specified precision.
- **Server Communication**: MCP protocol on stdout/stdin, all logs to stderr.
- **No Pagination**: Large result sets not automatically paginated. Users should specify appropriate time ranges.
## Code Style
- Use async/await for all I/O operations
- Validate inputs before processing
- Return structured JSON for tool responses
- Include descriptive error messages
- TypeScript strict mode compliance
- ES modules with explicit .js imports

---
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Docker installed (Docker Desktop 4.34+ for MCP support)
- InfluxDB v2 instance running
- InfluxDB authentication token
### 1. Create Environment File
Create a `.env` file in the project root:
```bash
# Copy the example
cp .env.example .env
# Edit with your details
nano .env
```
Add your InfluxDB details:
```env
INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086
INFLUX_TOKEN=your_influxdb_token_here
INFLUX_ORG=your_organization_name
```
### 2. Build and Run
```bash
# Build and start the container
docker-compose up -d
# Check logs
docker-compose logs -f
# Stop the container
docker-compose down
```
---
## Docker Compose Setup
The provided `docker-compose.yml` includes:
- **Multi-stage build** for optimized image size
- **Host networking** for easy InfluxDB access
- **Security hardening** (read-only filesystem, non-root user)
- **Resource limits** (256MB RAM, 0.5 CPU)
- **Health checks** for container monitoring
- **Automatic restarts** unless manually stopped
### Basic Usage
```bash
# Start in background
docker-compose up -d
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f influxdb-mcp-server
# Restart
docker-compose restart
# Stop
docker-compose down
# Rebuild after code changes
docker-compose up -d --build
```
---
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
Configure via `.env` file or docker-compose environment section:
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `INFLUX_URL` | Yes | `http://localhost:8086` | InfluxDB server URL |
| `INFLUX_TOKEN` | Yes | - | Authentication token |
| `INFLUX_ORG` | Yes | - | Organization name |
| `NODE_ENV` | No | `production` | Node environment |
### Getting an InfluxDB Token
1. Log into InfluxDB UI (usually at http://localhost:8086)
2. Navigate to **Data****Tokens** or **Load Data****API Tokens**
3. Click **Generate API Token**
4. Choose **All Access Token** or create custom permissions:
- Read/Write access to buckets you need
- Read access to organizations
5. Copy the token immediately (shown only once)
### Token Permissions
For full functionality, the token should have:
- **Read**: buckets, orgs, tasks, dashboards
- **Write**: buckets (if you plan to write data)
- **Delete**: buckets (if you plan to delete buckets)
---
## Using with Docker Desktop MCP Support
Docker Desktop 4.34+ includes native MCP support in the AI tools section.
### Setup
1. **Build the image:**
```bash
docker-compose build
```
2. **Tag for Docker Desktop:**
```bash
docker tag influxdb-mcp-server:latest influxdb-mcp-server:latest
```
3. **Configure in Docker Desktop:**
Open Docker Desktop settings and add to MCP servers:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"influxdb": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"--network=host",
"-e", "INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086",
"-e", "INFLUX_TOKEN=your_token_here",
"-e", "INFLUX_ORG=your_org",
"influxdb-mcp-server:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
4. **Restart Docker Desktop** to load the MCP server
### Verification
The MCP server should appear in Docker Desktop's AI tools section. You can then use it with any integrated AI assistant.
---
## Using with Claude Desktop
### Method 1: Using Docker Directly
Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"influxdb": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"--network=host",
"-e", "INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086",
"-e", "INFLUX_TOKEN=your_influxdb_token",
"-e", "INFLUX_ORG=your_organization",
"influxdb-mcp-server:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
### Method 2: Using Docker Compose
Create a wrapper script `run-mcp.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
docker-compose run --rm influxdb-mcp-server
```
Make it executable:
```bash
chmod +x run-mcp.sh
```
Configure Claude Desktop:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"influxdb": {
"command": "/Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/influxdb-mcp-server/run-mcp.sh"
}
}
}
```
### Restart Claude Desktop
After configuration changes, fully quit and restart Claude Desktop.
---
## Networking Considerations
### Host Network Mode (Default)
The default configuration uses `network_mode: host`, which:
- ✅ Simplest setup
- ✅ Direct access to InfluxDB on local network
- ✅ No port mapping needed
- ⚠️ Linux-only feature (works differently on macOS/Windows)
### Bridge Network Mode
If your InfluxDB is also in Docker, use bridge networking:
1. **Update docker-compose.yml:**
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
influxdb-mcp-server:
build: .
environment:
- INFLUX_URL=http://influxdb:8086
- INFLUX_TOKEN=${INFLUX_TOKEN}
- INFLUX_ORG=${INFLUX_ORG}
networks:
- influx-network
# Remove network_mode: host
networks:
influx-network:
external: true # If InfluxDB network exists
# Or create new network:
# driver: bridge
```
2. **Connect to InfluxDB network:**
```bash
# Find InfluxDB network
docker network ls
# Update docker-compose.yml with correct network name
# Then start
docker-compose up -d
```
### macOS/Windows Considerations
On macOS and Windows, Docker runs in a VM:
- `host` networking works differently
- Use explicit URLs like `http://host.docker.internal:8086`
- Or use bridge networking with proper network setup
### Running with InfluxDB in Docker
If you're running InfluxDB itself in Docker, here's a complete setup:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
influxdb:
image: influxdb:2.7-alpine
container_name: influxdb
ports:
- "8086:8086"
volumes:
- influxdb-data:/var/lib/influxdb2
- influxdb-config:/etc/influxdb2
environment:
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE=setup
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_USERNAME=admin
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD=adminpassword
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ORG=myorg
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_BUCKET=mybucket
- DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN=mytoken
networks:
- influx-network
influxdb-mcp-server:
build: .
container_name: influxdb-mcp-server
environment:
- INFLUX_URL=http://influxdb:8086
- INFLUX_TOKEN=mytoken
- INFLUX_ORG=myorg
depends_on:
- influxdb
networks:
- influx-network
networks:
influx-network:
driver: bridge
volumes:
influxdb-data:
influxdb-config:
```
---
## Building the Image
### Build Locally
```bash
# Using docker-compose
docker-compose build
# Using docker directly
docker build -t influxdb-mcp-server:latest .
# Build with no cache
docker-compose build --no-cache
```
### Build Arguments
The Dockerfile supports Node.js version customization:
```bash
docker build \
--build-arg NODE_VERSION=20 \
-t influxdb-mcp-server:latest \
.
```
### Multi-Architecture Builds
For running on different platforms (e.g., Raspberry Pi):
```bash
# Enable buildx
docker buildx create --use
# Build for multiple architectures
docker buildx build \
--platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 \
-t influxdb-mcp-server:latest \
--push \
.
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Container Won't Start
**Check logs:**
```bash
docker-compose logs influxdb-mcp-server
```
**Common issues:**
1. **Missing environment variables**
- Ensure `.env` file exists
- Check variable names match exactly (`INFLUX_URL`, `INFLUX_TOKEN`, `INFLUX_ORG`)
2. **Cannot reach InfluxDB**
- Verify `INFLUX_URL` is correct
- Check network connectivity: `docker exec influxdb-mcp-server ping influxdb`
- Try IP address instead of hostname
- Check InfluxDB is running: `curl http://localhost:8086/health`
3. **Permission denied**
- Container runs as non-root user
- Check file permissions if mounting volumes
### Container Restarting Every 30 Seconds
**Symptom:** You see repeated connection messages in the logs:
```
InfluxDB MCP Server running on stdio
Successfully connected to InfluxDB
Server: influxdb (v2.7.10)
Status: pass
InfluxDB MCP Server running on stdio
Successfully connected to InfluxDB
...
```
**Cause:** MCP servers communicate via stdio (stdin/stdout). Docker healthchecks interfere with stdio, causing the healthcheck to fail and Docker to restart the container.
**Solution:** The healthcheck is now disabled by default in docker-compose.yml:
```yaml
# In docker-compose.yml
healthcheck:
disable: true
# And restart policy is set to "no" since MCP servers run on-demand
restart: "no"
```
If you have an older version, update your docker-compose.yml with these settings and rebuild:
```bash
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d --build
```
### Connection Errors
**Test InfluxDB connection:**
```bash
# Enter container
docker exec -it influxdb-mcp-server sh
# Test connection using wget (Alpine doesn't have curl by default)
wget -O- http://localhost:8086/health
```
**Check environment variables:**
```bash
docker exec influxdb-mcp-server env | grep INFLUX_
```
**Test token authentication:**
```bash
docker exec influxdb-mcp-server sh -c '
wget --header="Authorization: Token $INFLUX_TOKEN" \
-O- "$INFLUX_URL/api/v2/buckets?org=$INFLUX_ORG"
'
```
### MCP Communication Issues
**Verify stdio communication:**
The MCP server communicates via stdio (stdin/stdout), not network ports.
```bash
# Test directly
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{},"id":1}' | \
docker run -i --rm \
-e INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086 \
-e INFLUX_TOKEN=your_token \
-e INFLUX_ORG=your_org \
influxdb-mcp-server:latest
```
### Performance Issues
**Check resource usage:**
```bash
docker stats influxdb-mcp-server
```
**Adjust resource limits** in docker-compose.yml:
```yaml
deploy:
resources:
limits:
cpus: '1.0' # Increase CPU limit
memory: 512M # Increase memory limit
```
### InfluxDB Connection Timeout
If queries are slow or timing out:
1. **Increase query timeout** in the client code
2. **Optimize Flux queries** - use filters and limits
3. **Check InfluxDB performance** - ensure it's not overloaded
4. **Increase container memory** if processing large results
---
## Advanced Configuration
### Running Multiple Instances
Run multiple MCP servers for different InfluxDB instances:
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
influxdb-mcp-prod:
build: .
container_name: influxdb-mcp-prod
environment:
- INFLUX_URL=http://influxdb-prod:8086
- INFLUX_TOKEN=${INFLUX_TOKEN_PROD}
- INFLUX_ORG=production
network_mode: host
influxdb-mcp-dev:
build: .
container_name: influxdb-mcp-dev
environment:
- INFLUX_URL=http://influxdb-dev:8086
- INFLUX_TOKEN=${INFLUX_TOKEN_DEV}
- INFLUX_ORG=development
network_mode: host
```
### Custom Logging
**Change log format:**
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
logging:
driver: "json-file"
options:
max-size: "50m"
max-file: "5"
labels: "influxdb-mcp-server"
```
**Use external logging:**
```yaml
logging:
driver: "syslog"
options:
syslog-address: "tcp://192.168.1.100:514"
```
### Monitoring with Prometheus
Add labels for monitoring:
```yaml
labels:
- "prometheus.scrape=true"
- "prometheus.port=9090"
```
### Read-Only Filesystem
The container uses a read-only root filesystem for security:
```yaml
read_only: true
tmpfs:
- /tmp # Allows temp file writes
```
To allow writes to specific locations:
```yaml
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data:rw
read_only: true
```
### Custom Node.js Options
Pass Node.js flags:
```yaml
command: ["node", "--max-old-space-size=128", "dist/index.js"]
```
### Query Result Size Limits
For large query results, adjust Node.js memory:
```yaml
environment:
- NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=512
```
---

AI: Uses influxdb MCP resource to get buckets
→ Returns list of buckets
You: "Query CPU usage for the last hour"
AI: Uses influxdb query_flux tool
→ Returns CPU metrics
You: "Write temperature sensor data"
AI: Uses influxdb write_data tool
→ Data written successfully
```
### CI/CD Pipeline
```yaml
# .github/workflows/docker.yml

|> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "usage")
```
## Writing Data
### Write Simple Metrics
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
Write a temperature reading of 22.5°C from the office sensor to the "sensors" bucket
```
**What Claude does:**
- Uses the `write_data` tool with line protocol:

- start: "-24h"
## Advanced Queries
### Aggregation Query
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
Calculate the average temperature for each location in the "sensors" bucket over the last 24 hours, grouped by 1-hour windows
```
**What Claude does:**
- Uses the `query_flux` tool with:
```flux
from(bucket: "sensors")
|> range(start: -24h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "temperature")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)
|> group(columns: ["location"])
```
### Multi-Measurement Query
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
Get both CPU and memory usage for server1 from the last hour
```
**What Claude does:**
- Uses the `query_flux` tool with:
```flux
from(bucket: "system-metrics")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) =>
r.host == "server1" and
(r._measurement == "cpu" or r._measurement == "memory")
)
```
### Join Query
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
Correlate CPU usage with memory usage for all servers in the last hour
```
**What Claude does:**
- Uses the `query_flux` tool with a join operation:

|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu")
memory = from(bucket: "system-metrics")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "memory")
join(tables: {cpu: cpu, memory: memory}, on: ["_time", "host"])
```
### Percentile Calculation
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
What's the 95th percentile of response times in the "api-metrics" bucket for the last 7 days?
```
**What Claude does:**
- Uses the `query_flux` tool with:
```flux
from(bucket: "api-metrics")
|> range(start: -7d)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "response_time")
|> quantile(q: 0.95)
```

## Tips for Working with Claude
### Be Specific About Time Ranges
Instead of: "Show me some data"
Say: "Show me data from the last hour" or "Show me data from 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-31"
### Specify Measurements and Fields
Instead of: "Get metrics"
Say: "Get the CPU usage metric from the system-metrics bucket"
### Use Natural Language
Claude understands context:
- "What's in that bucket?" (if you just discussed a bucket)
- "Show me the same thing but for yesterday"
- "Now filter that to just server1"
### Ask for Explanations
- "Explain what this Flux query does"
- "Why did that query return empty results?"
- "What's the best way to query this type of data?"
### Iterate on Queries
Start simple and refine:
1. "Show me CPU data"
2. "Now average it by hour"
3. "Now compare it to yesterday"
4. "Now show only when it exceeded 80%"
### Request Data Visualization Suggestions
- "How should I visualize this data?"
- "What kind of chart would work best for this?"
- "Can you format this data for plotting?"
## Common Patterns
### Time Ranges
- Last hour: `-1h`
- Last 24 hours: `-24h` or `-1d`
- Last week: `-7d` or `-1w`
- Last month: `-30d` or `-1mo`
- Specific date: `2024-01-01T00:00:00Z`
### Filters
- Single measurement: `r._measurement == "cpu"`
- Multiple measurements: `(r._measurement == "cpu" or r._measurement == "memory")`
- Tag filter: `r.host == "server1"`
- Field filter: `r._field == "usage"`
### Aggregations
- Mean: `aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)`
- Sum: `aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: sum)`
- Max: `aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: max)`
- Min: `aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: min)`
- Count: `aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: count)`
### Grouping
- By tag: `group(columns: ["host"])`
- By measurement: `group(columns: ["_measurement"])`
- By multiple columns: `group(columns: ["host", "region"])`
## Troubleshooting Examples
### Empty Results
**Problem:** "My query returned no data"
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
I'm querying the "metrics" bucket for CPU data but getting no results. Can you help me debug?
```
**Claude will:**
1. Check if the bucket exists
2. List measurements in the bucket
3. Verify the time range has data
4. Suggest alternative query approaches
### Wrong Data Format
**Problem:** "My write failed with a format error"
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
I'm trying to write "cpu usage=45.2" but getting an error. What's wrong?
```
**Claude will:**
1. Explain line protocol format
2. Show the correct format: `cpu usage=45.2` (space instead of equals after measurement)
3. Provide more examples
### Performance Issues
**Problem:** "My query is too slow"
**Prompt to Claude:**
```
This query is taking too long. Can you optimize it?
[paste your query]
```
**Claude will:**
1. Analyze the query structure
2. Suggest adding filters earlier in the pipeline
3. Recommend using narrower time ranges
4. Suggest appropriate aggregation windows
## Best Practices
1. **Use descriptive tag names**: `location=office` not `loc=1`
2. **Keep line protocol consistent**: Always use the same tags for a measurement
3. **Use appropriate timestamps**: Match your data's actual precision
4. **Filter early in Flux queries**: Put filters right after `range()`
5. **Use appropriate time ranges**: Don't query years of data when you need hours
6. **Test with small queries first**: Verify logic before scaling up
7. **Use tags for dimensions**: Put categorical data in tags, not fields
8. **Use fields for measurements**: Put numeric data in fields
9. **Don't create too many unique series**: Each unique tag combination creates a series

```typescript
const CONFIG_SCHEMA = z.object({
INFLUX_URL: z.string().url(),
INFLUX_TOKEN: z.string().min(1),
INFLUX_ORG: z.string().optional(),
});
```
### 2. InfluxDB Client (src/influx-client.ts)
- Axios-based REST API client

- Support for all major InfluxDB v2 endpoints
- CSV response parsing for query results
### 3. MCP Server (src/index.ts)
- Resource handlers for read-only data
- Tool handlers for write operations
- Proper error propagation with `McpError`
- Graceful shutdown handling
### 4. Type System (src/types.ts)
Complete TypeScript interfaces for:
- Configuration
- HealthStatus
- Organizations
- Buckets with RetentionRules
- Tasks and Dashboards
- QueryResults
- Schema information
## Usage Workflow
```
User Request → Claude Desktop → MCP Protocol → InfluxDB MCP Server → InfluxDB REST API
User Response ← Claude Desktop ← MCP Protocol ← Response Parsing ← InfluxDB Response
```
## Example Interactions
### Simple Query
**User:** "Show CPU usage from the last hour"
**Claude:** Executes `query_flux` with appropriate Flux query
**Result:** Formatted time-series data
### Data Writing
**User:** "Write temperature sensor data"
**Claude:** Uses `write_data` with line protocol format
**Result:** Data written to specified bucket
### Schema Discovery
**User:** "What data is in this bucket?"
**Claude:** Uses `get_bucket_schema` tool
**Result:** List of measurements, tags, and fields
## Security Features
1. **Token-Based Auth**: Uses InfluxDB bearer tokens
2. **Environment Isolation**: Configuration via environment variables
3. **Input Validation**: Zod schemas validate all inputs
4. **Error Sanitization**: No sensitive data in error messages
5. **Least Privilege**: Supports read-only tokens
## Development
### Build Commands
```bash
npm install # Install dependencies
npm run build # Compile TypeScript
npm run watch # Watch mode for development
npm start # Run the server
```
### Testing the Server
```bash
INFLUX_URL=http://localhost:8086 \
INFLUX_TOKEN=your_token \
INFLUX_ORG=your_org \
node dist/index.js
```
## Deployment
### Claude Desktop Integration
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"influxdb": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"INFLUX_URL": "http://localhost:8086",
"INFLUX_TOKEN": "your_token",
"INFLUX_ORG": "your_org"
}
}
}
}
```
### Standalone Usage
The server can also run as a standalone stdio-based MCP server for integration with other MCP clients.

5. **Inline Comments**: Throughout source code
6. **Type Definitions**: Self-documenting TypeScript types
## Testing Strategy
Recommended testing approach:
1. Manual testing with real InfluxDB instance
2. Integration testing with Claude Desktop
3. Unit testing for InfluxDBClient methods
4. Schema validation testing
5. Error handling verification
## Known Limitations
1. **Query Response Format**: Simplified parsing of InfluxDB JSON responses
2. **Field Type Detection**: InfluxDB doesn't always provide type information
3. **Large Result Sets**: No automatic pagination (relies on user-specified time ranges)
4. **Advanced Features**: Some InfluxDB v2 features not yet exposed (e.g., annotations, variables)
## Future Enhancements
Potential additions:
- [ ] Task creation and management tools
- [ ] Dashboard creation tools

node dist/index.js
```
You should see:
```
Successfully connected to InfluxDB
Server: influxdb (version x.y.z)
Status: pass
InfluxDB MCP Server running on stdio
```
Press `Ctrl+C` to stop.
## Step 4: Configure Claude Desktop
### macOS
Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"influxdb": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/influxdb-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"INFLUX_URL": "http://localhost:8086",
"INFLUX_TOKEN": "your_token_here",
"INFLUX_ORG": "your_org_name"
}
}
}
}
```
### Linux
Edit `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (same format as macOS).
### Windows
Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (same format as macOS).
**Important:** Replace `/Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/influxdb-mcp-server` with the actual absolute path to your installation.
## Step 5: Restart Claude Desktop

### Test 2: List Buckets
```
What buckets are in my InfluxDB instance?
```
Expected: Claude will list all your buckets.
### Test 3: Write Test Data
```
Write a test temperature reading of 22.5 to a bucket called "test-bucket"
(use my default organization)
```
Expected: Claude will write data using line protocol.
### Test 4: Query Data
```
Show me the last 10 minutes of data from "test-bucket"
```
Expected: Claude will execute a Flux query and return results.
## Troubleshooting
### "Connection refused" error
**Problem:** Can't connect to InfluxDB
**Solutions:**
1. Verify InfluxDB is running: `curl http://localhost:8086/health`
2. Check the URL in your config
3. Check firewall settings
### "Unauthorized" error
**Problem:** Authentication failed
**Solutions:**
1. Verify your token is correct
2. Check token hasn't expired
3. Ensure token has necessary permissions
4. Try generating a new All Access Token
### "Organization not found" error
**Problem:** Wrong organization name
**Solutions:**
1. In Claude, ask: "What organizations are available?"
2. Update `INFLUX_ORG` with the correct name
3. Restart Claude Desktop
### Claude doesn't see the server
**Problem:** MCP server not loading
**Solutions:**
1. Verify the path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is absolute
2. Check that `dist/index.js` exists and is executable
3. Look at Claude Desktop logs:
- macOS: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\`
4. Ensure JSON syntax is correct (no trailing commas)
5. Restart Claude Desktop completely
### "Module not found" error
**Problem:** Dependencies not installed
**Solution:**
```bash
cd /Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/influxdb-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
```
## Next Steps
Now that you're set up:
1. **Read EXAMPLES.md** for real-world usage patterns
2. **Explore your data** by asking Claude to analyze your buckets
3. **Create dashboards** by having Claude query and format data
4. **Set up monitoring** by writing periodic data from your applications
## Common First Tasks
### Explore Your Data
```
What measurements are in my "telegraf" bucket?
```
### Analyze Recent Metrics
```
Show me the average CPU usage across all servers in the last hour
```
### Create a New Bucket
```
Create a bucket called "application-metrics" with a 90-day retention policy
```
### Write Application Metrics
```
Write the following metrics to "application-metrics":
- API response time: 125ms for /users endpoint
- API response time: 89ms for /posts endpoint
```
### Generate Reports
```
Create a daily summary of temperature readings from all sensors
```
## Pro Tips
1. **Start with simple queries** and build up complexity
2. **Use natural language** - Claude understands context
3. **Ask for explanations** if you're learning Flux
4. **Iterate on queries** - refine as you go
5. **Let Claude help with schema** - ask what data is available first

## Example Interactions
Here are some example interactions you can have with Claude using this MCP server:
### Query Recent Data
> "Show me the average CPU usage from the 'system-metrics' bucket over the last hour"
Claude will use the `query_flux` tool to execute an appropriate Flux query.
### Write Sensor Data
> "Write temperature readings: office sensor at 22.5°C and warehouse sensor at 18.3°C to the 'sensors' bucket"
Claude will format the data in line protocol and use the `write_data` tool.
### Explore Schema
> "What measurements and fields are available in the 'application-logs' bucket?"
Claude will use the `get_bucket_schema` tool to discover the data structure.
### Create New Bucket
> "Create a new bucket called 'test-metrics' with a 30-day retention policy"
Claude will first get the organization ID from resources, then use the `create_bucket` tool.
### Health Check
> "Is my InfluxDB server running properly?"
Claude will read the `influx://health` resource to check server status.

| `/health` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/query` | POST | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/write` | POST | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/buckets` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/buckets` | POST | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/buckets/{id}` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/buckets/{id}` | DELETE | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/orgs` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/tasks` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
| `/api/v2/dashboards` | GET | ✅ Implemented |
Additional functionality through Flux schema functions:
- `schema.measurements()` - List measurements
- `schema.measurementTagKeys()` - List tag keys
- `schema.measurementFieldKeys()` - List field keys
## Development
### Build
```bash
npm run build
```
### Watch Mode
```bash
npm run watch
```
### Run Directly
```bash
npm start
```
### Debug Mode
For debugging, you can run the server with additional logging:
```bash
node dist/index.js
```
The server logs to stderr, so it won't interfere with the MCP protocol communication on stdout.
## Troubleshooting
### Connection Issues
**Problem:** "No response from InfluxDB server"
**Solutions:**
- Verify `INFLUX_URL` is correct and InfluxDB is running
- Check network connectivity: `curl http://localhost:8086/health`
- Ensure no firewall is blocking the connection
### Authentication Errors
**Problem:** "InfluxDB API error (401): unauthorized"
**Solutions:**
- Verify your `INFLUX_TOKEN` is correct
- Check token permissions in InfluxDB UI
- Ensure token hasn't expired
### Query Failures
**Problem:** Flux query returns an error
**Solutions:**
- Validate Flux syntax using InfluxDB UI Query Builder
- Check bucket name and organization are correct
- Ensure time range contains data
- Verify measurement and field names exist
### Resource Not Found
**Problem:** "Unknown resource URI"
**Solutions:**
- Check the URI format matches documented patterns
- For bucket-specific resources, verify the bucket ID exists
- Use `influx://buckets` to list available bucket IDs
### Tool Execution Errors
**Problem:** "Tool execution failed"
**Solutions:**
- Verify all required parameters are provided
- Check parameter types match the schema
- For write operations, validate line protocol format
- For bucket creation, ensure organization ID (not name) is used
## Security Considerations
1. **Token Storage**: Never commit `.env` files or tokens to version control
2. **Token Permissions**: Use least-privilege tokens with only necessary permissions
3. **Network Security**: Use HTTPS for remote InfluxDB instances
4. **Input Validation**: The server validates all inputs using Zod schemas
5. **Error Messages**: Sensitive information is not exposed in error messages
## Line Protocol Format
When writing data, use the InfluxDB line protocol format:
```
<measurement>[,<tag_key>=<tag_value>[,<tag_key>=<tag_value>]] <field_key>=<field_value>[,<field_key>=<field_value>] [<timestamp>]
```
**Examples:**
```
# Simple measurement
temperature value=22.5
# With tags
temperature,location=office,sensor=1 value=22.5
# Multiple fields
weather,location=garden temperature=22.5,humidity=65.2
# With timestamp (nanoseconds)
cpu,host=server1 usage=45.2 1672531200000000000
# Multiple lines (batch write)
cpu,host=server1 usage=45.2 1672531200000000000
cpu,host=server2 usage=38.7 1672531200000000000
memory,host=server1 used=8589934592 1672531200000000000
```
## Flux Query Examples
### Basic Query
```flux
from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu")
```
### Aggregation
```flux
from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -24h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "temperature")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)
```
### Multiple Filters
```flux
from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu" and r.host == "server1")
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "usage")
```
### Join Data
```flux
cpu = from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu")
memory = from(bucket: "my-bucket")
|> range(start: -1h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "memory")
join(tables: {cpu: cpu, memory: memory}, on: ["_time", "host"])
```
