Quick Start

Get up and running with PagerDuty MCP Server in minutes

1

Get your PagerDuty API token

Navigate to your PagerDuty user settings and create a new User API Token. You’ll need this to authenticate the MCP server with your PagerDuty account.
User API tokens are subject to your PagerDuty account permissions. For Freemium accounts, token permissions are limited to your user role.
2

Configure your MCP client

Add the PagerDuty MCP server to your client configuration. The server works with VS Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop.
settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pagerduty-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["pagerduty-mcp", "--enable-write-tools"],
      "env": {
        "PAGERDUTY_USER_API_KEY": "${input:pagerduty-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start using PagerDuty tools

Once configured, you can interact with PagerDuty directly from your AI assistant. Try asking to list your latest incidents or check who’s on-call.
  • “Show me the latest high-urgency incidents”
  • “Who is on-call for the production team?”
  • “Create an incident for the API service”
  • “List all event orchestrations”
