Solana Metrics MCP Server

This MCP server analyzes Solana metrics from InfluxDB and generates Grafana dashboards. It's designed to work with the sol_metrics database and provides intelligent categorization and analysis of blockchain metrics.

Features

• 🔍 Metric Discovery: Lists all available metrics from the sol_metrics InfluxDB database
• 🏷️ Intelligent Categorization: Automatically categorizes metrics into logical groups (Consensus, Network, Banking, Accounts, RPC, Performance, Jito/MEV)
• 📊 Metric Analysis: Provides detailed explanations of what each metric measures and why it's useful
• 📁 Auto-Dashboard Export: Creates and saves importable Grafana dashboard JSON files to grafana/ folder
• 🔎 Code Search: Helps locate metric definitions in the Solana Rust codebase
• 🔄 Dual InfluxDB Support: Compatible with both InfluxDB v1 and v2
• 🛠️ VS Code Integration: Works seamlessly as an MCP server in Visual Studio Code

Installation

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Set the following environment variables to connect to your InfluxDB instance:

export INFLUX_URL="http://your-influxdb-server:8086"
export INFLUX_TOKEN="your_token"
export INFLUX_ORG="your_org"
export INFLUX_BUCKET="sol_metrics"
export INFLUX_VERSION="v1"  # or "v2" for InfluxDB v2

Dashboard Export

When you generate dashboards using the generate_dashboard tool, the server automatically:

1. Saves JSON files to the grafana/ folder in your project directory
2. Creates timestamped backups for version history
3. Provides ready-to-import Grafana dashboard configurations

Generated dashboard files:

• consensus-dashboard.json - Epoch rewards, slot confirmation, validator voting
• network-dashboard.json - Gossip, cluster info, retransmit metrics
• banking-dashboard.json - Transaction processing, prioritization fees
• accounts-dashboard.json - Account database, cache, hashing metrics
• rpc-dashboard.json - RPC service and subscription metrics
• performance-dashboard.json - CPU, memory, disk usage metrics
• jito-mev-dashboard.json - Block engine, bundle processing, MEV relayer metrics

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solana-metrics": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/solana-metrics-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

1. list_metrics

Lists all available metrics from the sol_metrics database.

2. analyze_metrics

Analyzes and categorizes metrics with detailed explanations.

• Parameters:
  • category (optional): Filter by category (Consensus, Network, Banking, Accounts, RPC, Performance, Jito/MEV, Other, All)

3. generate_dashboard

Generates a Grafana dashboard JSON for selected metrics.

• Parameters:
  • category: Category to generate dashboard for
  • dashboard_name: Name for the generated dashboard

4. search_rust_code

Searches for metric definitions in the Solana Rust codebase.

• Parameters:
  • metric_name: Name of the metric to search for

Metric Categories

The server organizes metrics into the following categories based on Solana's architecture:

• Consensus: Validator voting, slots, epochs, leader schedules
• Network: Cluster topology, gossip, turbine, TPU/TVU, repairs
• Banking: Transaction processing, PoH recording, leader slot utilization
• Accounts: Account database operations, hashing, snapshots
• RPC: API request handling, subscriptions, WebSocket connections
• Performance: System resources, throughput benchmarks
• Jito/MEV: MEV tips, bundle processing, block engine metrics
