Bronto gives you multiple ways to bring AI into your observability workflows. Whether you want to connect an MCP client, run the server locally, investigate production issues with AI, or automatically structure raw telemetry, this section will help you get started.

Hosted MCP

Connect Claude or another MCP-compatible client directly to Bronto’s hosted endpoint. No local server required.

Local MCP

Run the Bronto MCP server on your own machine with Python and connect it to Claude Code or another compatible agent.

BrontoScope

Automatically investigate events and issues with AI and get scope, likely causes, next steps, and supporting evidence in seconds.

AI Investigation Reports

Attach AI-generated investigation reports to monitor alerts using a prompt that tells Bronto what to check.

Custom Parser

Use AI to turn unstructured telemetry into structured, queryable events with custom parsers tailored to your data.

What you can do

Connect AI to your data

Give agents access to datasets, keys, field values, search, and aggregated analysis workflows through MCP.

Investigate incidents faster

Use BrontoScope to automatically assess impact, identify likely causes, and surface recommended next steps.

Enrich monitor alerts

Add AI Investigation Reports to monitors so alerts arrive with automated analysis and recommended follow-up.

Reduce setup friction

Start quickly with Hosted MCP, or choose Local MCP when you need more control over how the server runs.

Make unstructured data usable

Create custom parsers that extract fields from application, system, and custom data formats so your data is easier to search and analyze.

1. Connect an agent to Bronto

Start with one of the MCP options:
  • Choose Hosted MCP for the simplest setup
  • Choose Local MCP if you want to run the server yourself

Hosted MCP

Managed by Bronto. Best for the fastest path to an MCP connection.

Local MCP

Runs locally with Python. Best when you need control or a self-managed setup.

2. Investigate a production issue

When you hit an unfamiliar issue, use BrontoScope to get an immediate starting point for your investigation.

Investigate with BrontoScope

Ideal for quickly understanding impact, likely causes, and the next queries to run.

3. Add AI analysis to monitor alerts

If you want investigations to run automatically when alerts fire, configure AI Investigation Reports on the monitor itself.

AI Investigation Reports

Best for monitor-driven workflows where responders need a diagnosis attached to the alert.

4. Improve the quality of your data

If your data is hard to search because it is unstructured, create a parser first.

Structure data with Custom Parser

Transform raw telemetry into structured fields that are easier to search, group, and analyze.
