Influx

MCP server for InfluxDB 2.x, tuned for Home Assistant long-term storage (an ha_data-style bucket with an entity_id tag). Lets any MCP client (Claude or otherwise) read sensor history, find anomalies, and run arbitrary Flux queries through a single HTTP MCP endpoint.

Tools

Tool	Description
list_measurements	List of all measurements in the bucket, with entity_id inside each one
list_fields	List of fields for a specific measurement, with entity_id inside it
get_last_value	Latest value of a sensor by entity_id
get_history	History of sensor values over a period (with optional aggregation over N minutes)
query_flux	Arbitrary Flux query against InfluxDB
find_anomalies	Anomalous sensor values (deviation from the mean by more than N sigma)

query_flux gives full read access to the database — that's an intentional tradeoff for flexibility, not a bug. Make sure to lock the server down with MCP_SECRET if it's reachable from anywhere outside your local network.

Setup

git clone <this-repo> influx-mcp && cd influx-mcp
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env       # fill in INFLUX_URL / INFLUX_TOKEN / INFLUX_ORG / INFLUX_BUCKET / MCP_SECRET
uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Systemd unit example: deploy/influx-mcp.service (adjust paths for your install).

Docker:

docker build -t influx-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env influx-mcp

Security model

• Auth is an Authorization: Bearer $MCP_SECRET header on every request to /mcp. If MCP_SECRET is unset, the server responds without checking auth (fine for a local network/VPN only).
• /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, /oauth/authorize, /oauth/token are not a real OAuth provider — just a compatible stub. As of this writing, claude.ai custom connectors don't support pasting a static API key — only full OAuth 2.1 or no auth at all. This stub satisfies the connector setup UI's OAuth handshake; the actual protection is the Bearer token on /mcp (see above). If you're connecting via Claude Code CLI (claude mcp add --header ...), you don't need this stub at all — just send the header directly.
• redirect_uri in /oauth/authorize is checked against an allowlist (claude.ai, anthropic.com, console.anthropic.com, localhost) — without that it would be an open redirect.
• Transport: the server does not terminate TLS itself — it listens on plain HTTP. If it's reachable beyond localhost/a trusted LAN (and especially if you're connecting it as a custom connector in claude.ai, where HTTPS is required), put TLS termination in front of it: Cloudflare Tunnel, Tailscale Funnel, nginx/Caddy + Let's Encrypt, etc. Without that, the Bearer token (MCP_SECRET) in the Authorization header goes out in plaintext.

Requirements

• InfluxDB 2.x with a bucket where points carry an entity_id tag (the standard schema when exporting from Home Assistant, e.g. via its influxdb integration).
• Python 3.11+.
