External MCP Servers

Oodle can connect to external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to give the AI Assistant additional context when helping you debug issues. By connecting external tools and data sources, Oodle's AI can provide more accurate and actionable recommendations.

What are External MCP Servers?​

While Oodle itself acts as an MCP server (allowing AI assistants like Cursor to query your observability data), Oodle can also connect to other MCP servers to enhance its own AI capabilities.

This allows Oodle's AI Assistant to:

  • Access your codebase for context-aware debugging
  • Recommend specific code fixes when alerts fire
  • Understand your application architecture
  • Provide more targeted troubleshooting guidance

Available Integrations​

  • GitHub MCP - Connect your repositories to enable AI-powered code fix suggestions when alerts are triggered
  • Custom MCP Servers - Add any MCP-compatible server to extend AI capabilities with custom tools

How It Works​

When investigating issues, Oodle's AI can:

  1. Analyze the alert context (metrics, logs, traces)
  2. Query connected external MCP servers for additional context
  3. Search your codebase for relevant code (with GitHub MCP)
  4. Access custom tools and data sources
  5. Provide more accurate and actionable recommendations

Getting Started​

Connect an external MCP server to enhance Oodle's AI capabilities:

  1. Navigate to Settings → Integrations
  2. Find the external MCP server integration (e.g., GitHub MCP)
  3. Follow the configuration steps for that integration

Security​

  • External MCP connections are authenticated and encrypted
  • You control which data sources the AI can access
  • Credentials are stored securely in Oodle's configuration
  • Access can be revoked at any time
