Features
- Incident management — list, view, acknowledge, and resolve incidents
- On-call visibility — see who is currently on call across all schedules
- Service overview — list all PagerDuty services and their status
- Schedule management — list on-call schedules with time zones
- Escalation policies — view escalation policies and loop counts
- Credential file support — load credentials from
~/.config/pagerduty/credentials.json - Write safety — write operations require

Installation
pip install clr-pagerduty-mcp
# or
uvx clr-pagerduty-mcp
Configuration
Preferred: Configuration file at ~/.config/pagerduty/credentials.json (chmod 600):
{
"api_key": "u+your-pagerduty-user-api-key",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
Legacy format also supported (token instead of api_key):
{
"token": "u+your-pagerduty-user-api-key",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
Get API key: PagerDuty → My Profile → User Settings → API Access → Create New API Key
Note: This must be a User API Token (starts with
u+), not a general access key.
Alternative: Environment variables are also supported:
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
PAGERDUTY_API_KEY |
PagerDuty User API token | u+yourtoken |
PAGERDUTY_EMAIL |
User email (required for write ops) | [email protected] |
Optional:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
PD_READ_ONLY |
Run in read-only mode | false |
PAGERDUTY_TRANSPORT |
Transport protocol (stdio or http) |
stdio |

On-Call
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pd_list_oncalls |
List who is currently on call across all schedules |
Services
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pd_list_services |
List all PagerDuty services with status |
Schedules
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pd_list_schedules |
List all on-call schedules with time zones |
Escalation Policies
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pd_list_escalation_policies |
List all escalation policies with loop counts |
Example Usage
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Are there any active incidents?"
- "Who is on call right now?"
- "Show me the details for incident PABC123"
- "Acknowledge incident PABC123"
- "Resolve incident PABC123"
- "List all PagerDuty services"
- "What are our on-call schedules?"
- "Show me the escalation policies"
Safety
All pd_list_* and pd_get_* tools are read-only and safe to call at any time.
pd_acknowledge_incident and pd_resolve_incident are write operations — they change incident status in PagerDuty. These require PAGERDUTY_EMAIL to be configured so PagerDuty can attribute the action. Without it, write tools return an error instead of silently failing.
Technical Notes
- API: PagerDuty REST API v2 at
https://api.pagerduty.com - Auth: Token-based via
Authorization: Token token=<key>header - Write attribution: PagerDuty requires a
Fromemail header for PUT requests - HTTP client: httpx with 15-second timeout
- Transport: stdio (default) or HTTP via
--transport http
