Honeycomb MCP
Honeycomb is an observability platform for high-cardinality event data. The Honeycomb MCP server lets agents query datasets, run analyses and inspect telemetry.
Verdict
Honeycomb MCP connects your observability data to Switchy's AI workspace. When you @mention Honeycomb in a Project, your team can query traces, analyze service performance, and investigate incidents without leaving the conversation. Engineers get instant answers about latency spikes, error rates, and deployment impact. Product managers can ask for user-facing metrics in plain English. The integration requires OAuth, so setup takes a few clicks but keeps your telemetry data secure. Best for teams already sending events to Honeycomb who want faster incident triage and post-mortem analysis.
Common use cases
- Triage production incidents from Slack threads
- Compare deploy performance before and after release
- Explain latency spikes to non-technical stakeholders
- Generate post-mortem timelines from trace data
- Audit error rates across microservices

Tools
Per-tool listings haven't synced yet for Honeycomb MCP. The connection itself works - your Project can already @-mention it. Tool descriptions will fill in on the next Composio ingest.
Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open any Project in Switchy and click the integrations menu in the top toolbar. 2. Select Honeycomb MCP from the developer tools category. 3. Click Connect and you'll be redirected to Honeycomb's OAuth consent screen. 4. Grant read access to your datasets and environments — the MCP needs this to query traces and metrics on your behalf. 5. After authorizing, you'll land back in Switchy with a green checkmark confirming the connection. 6. Test it by opening a Project, typing '@Honeycomb show me p95 latency for the checkout service in the last hour', and sending the message. 7. The AI will invoke Honeycomb's query tools and return results inline. 8. If you see an error, check that your Honeycomb account has at least one dataset with recent events.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Honeycomb MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.
