OpsLevel — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects your OpsLevel service portal to AI tools via remote HTTP. It retrieves component owners, dependencies, and maturity checks in conversation.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://app.opslevel.com/mcpWhat OpsLevel does
This MCP server runs entirely as a remote service at https://app.opslevel.com/mcp. You do not need to compile code or run background processes locally. First-time setup uses OAuth to link your client with an OpsLevel account.
AI tools get read-only access to portal data. The server exposes software components, git repositories, linked cloud resources, and runbooks. Because access is strictly read-only, assistants cannot modify service catalogs or trigger campaign changes.
What it helps with
- look up service owners and team contact channels
- inspect upstream and downstream component dependencies
- fetch runbooks and tech docs attached to a component
- review service maturity checks and campaign status
Example prompts for the agent
- Which team owns the auth-service component in OpsLevel?
- List all components that depend on billing-db
- Show the runbook and maturity checklist for payment-gateway
