Amazon OpenSearch Service launches MCP Apps for agentic observability
Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports MCP Apps, bringing observability workflows directly into compatible agentic IDEs such as Claude Desktop and VS Code. With this capability, your AI agent in local environment can investigate incidents using logs, traces, metrics, and alerts stored in OpenSearch domains, collections and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. You can easily review and verify the results in interactive MCP App visualizations without leaving your local environment.
Each MCP App tool call returns a dual response, a concise text summary for your agent to reason over and an interactive visualization rendered in the same conversation thread for you to review. You can work alongside your observability agent from firing an alert, perform root cause analysis, exploring distributed traces, service maps, PromQL metric charts, and cross-signal correlations all within a single conversation. Available MCP App tools cover log, metrics and trace investigation, service performance, topology, dynamic visualizations, agent health, cluster health, and instrumentation scoring.
The OpenSearch MCP app experience is available is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon OpenSearch UI is offered. To get started, follow the instructions in OpenSearch Agentic observability with MCP Apps. To learn more about OpenSearch, visit Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.
