Better Stack MCP Server
for AI Agents
Connect your AI agent to StackOne's Better Stack MCP server and give it ready-to-use MCP tools out of the box. Auth, tool execution, and security all managed.
Coverage
8 Agent Actions
Create, read, update, and delete across Better Stack — and extend your agent's capabilities with custom actions.
Authentication
Agent Tool Authentication
Per-user OAuth in one call. Your Better Stack MCP server gets session-scoped tokens with zero credentials stored on your infra.
Agent Auth →Security
Agent Protection
Every Better Stack tool response scanned for prompt injection in milliseconds — 88.7% accuracy, all running on CPU.
Prompt Injection Defense →Performance
Max Agent Context. Min Cost.
Free up to 96% of your agent's context window to enhance reasoning and reduce cost, on every Better Stack call.
Tools Discovery →What is the Better Stack MCP Server?
A Better Stack MCP server lets AI agents read and write Better Stack data through the Model Context Protocol — Anthropic's open standard for connecting LLMs to external tools. StackOne's Better Stack MCP server ships with pre-built actions, fully extensible via the Connector Builder — plus managed authentication, prompt injection defense, observability, and agent execution runtime. Connect it from MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Goose, and VS Code, or from agent frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, and Vercel AI SDK.
All Better Stack MCP Tools
Every action from Better Stack's API, ready for your agent. Create, read, update, and delete — scoped to exactly what you need.

MCP Code Mode: Keeping Tool Responses Out of Agent Context
Anthropic's code_execution processes data already in context. Custom MCP code mode keeps raw tool responses in a sandbox. 14K tokens vs 500.
