honeycomb.io
Honeycomb is an observability platform for exploring telemetry, traces, and high-cardinality event data from modern software systems. It helps engineering teams investigate production behavior, analyze reliability, and debug distributed applications.
Honeycomb exposes a documented regional HTTP API with an OpenAPI spec and a hosted streamable-HTTP MCP server; both require Honeycomb-issued credentials, with MCP supporting OAuth and API-key auth.

Log in to the Honeycomb UI for your region and create an API key under team or environment settings. Honeycomb documents three key types in Authentication: Ingest, Configuration, and Management. Use the key type required by the surface or operation. Ingest keys are used as the full concatenated key value in X-Honeycomb-Team; Configuration keys use the environment Token in X-Honeycomb-Team; Management keys are created in the UI only and are sent as Authorization: Bearer <key-id>:<secret>. For MCP headless setup, the docs explicitly tell you to create a Management API Key in Honeycomb and paste it into your agent config in Connect to Honeycomb MCP.
Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server accepts a Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD), so the client authenticates with its own hosted URL as the client_id — nothing to register.
