A Helm chart for VictoriaMetrics MCP server

Prerequisites

Before installing this chart, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

• Kubernetes cluster - A running Kubernetes cluster with sufficient resources
• Helm - Helm package manager installed and configured

Additional requirements depend on your configuration:

• Persistent storage - Required if you enable persistent volumes for data retention (enabled by default)
• kubectl - Needed for cluster management and troubleshooting

For installation instructions, refer to the official documentation:

• Installing Helm
• Installing kubectl

Chart Details

This chart will do the following:

• Rollout VictoriaMetrics MCP server.

How to install

Access a Kubernetes cluster.

Setup chart repository (can be omitted for OCI repositories)

Add a chart helm repository with follow commands:

helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts/

helm repo update

List versions of vm/victoria-metrics-mcp chart available to installation:

helm search repo vm/victoria-metrics-mcp -l

Install victoria-metrics-mcp chart

Export default values of victoria-metrics-mcp chart to file values.yaml:

• For HTTPS repository

  helm show values vm/victoria-metrics-mcp > values.yaml
  

• For OCI repository

  helm show values oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-mcp > values.yaml
  

Change the values according to the need of the environment in values.yaml file.

Consider setting .Values.nameOverride to a small value like vmm to avoid hitting resource name limits of 63 characters

Test the installation with command:

• For HTTPS repository

  helm install vmm vm/victoria-metrics-mcp -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE --debug
  

• For OCI repository

  helm install vmm oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-mcp -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE --debug
  

Install chart with command:

• For HTTPS repository

  helm install vmm vm/victoria-metrics-mcp -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE
  

• For OCI repository

  helm install vmm oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-mcp -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE
  

Get the pods lists by running this commands:

kubectl get pods -A | grep 'vmm'

Get the application by running this command:

helm list -f vmm -n NAMESPACE

See the history of versions of vmm application with command.

helm history vmm -n NAMESPACE

How to uninstall

Remove application with command.

helm uninstall vmm -n NAMESPACE
