mcporter Configuration

{
  "rootly": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["/path/to/rootly-mcp/dist/index.js"],
    "env": {
      "ROOTLY_API_TOKEN": "rootly_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  }
}

Then: mcporter call rootly.rootly_navigate --domain alerts

Claude Desktop (MCPB)

Download the .mcpb bundle from Releases and install it in Claude Desktop.

Or manually add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rootly": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/rootly-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "ROOTLY_API_TOKEN": "your_token" }
    }
  }
}

Rate Limiting

Rootly enforces 3 write operations per 60 seconds. The server tracks this in-process and returns a descriptive error with retry-after time if exceeded.
