Add the InfluxDB MCP server to Claude Code

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run InfluxDB in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed.
INFLUX_DB_INSTANCE_URL — URL of your InfluxDB 3 instance (Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless, Clustered).
INFLUX_DB_TOKEN — Authentication token for query and write operations.
INFLUX_DB_PRODUCT_TYPE — Deployment type: core, enterprise, cloud-serverless, cloud-dedicated, or clustered.

Setup

1. Open `~/.claude.json`

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "influxdb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@influxdata/influxdb3-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "INFLUX_DB_INSTANCE_URL": "<INFLUX_DB_INSTANCE_URL>",
        "INFLUX_DB_TOKEN": "<INFLUX_DB_TOKEN>",
        "INFLUX_DB_PRODUCT_TYPE": "<INFLUX_DB_PRODUCT_TYPE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI

bash

claude mcp add influxdb -- npx -y @influxdata/influxdb3-mcp-server

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the InfluxDB tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
