Claude integration

dstl8 includes a built-in MCP server that lets Claude query your observability data directly.

Claude Desktop

Download dstl8.mcpb from the latest release and double-click to install. Requires the dstl8 CLI installed and authenticated (dstl8 login).

Claude Code

claude mcp add dstl8 -- dstl8 mcp

Other MCP clients

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dstl8": {
      "command": "dstl8",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The MCP server uses your local dstl8 credentials automatically — no additional configuration needed.
