What

Prometheus MCP server — lets AI agents execute PromQL queries against a Prometheus instance. Open source.

Why This Matters

Instead of building dashboards Timmy stares at, Timmy could query his own metrics through conversation:

"How many commits did I make today?"
"What's my sovereignty score trend this week?"
"Which agent has the highest task success rate?"

This is the split-brain pattern done right — Prometheus stores the data, Timmy asks questions about it through MCP, no dashboard needed.

Prerequisite

Prometheus needs to be running with real data flowing (heartbeat ticks, inference metrics)
Depends on Huey being online on Hermes

Evaluate

Clone the Prometheus MCP server repo
Test with our Prometheus instance
Wire into Hermes Agent harness as an MCP tool
Sovereignty check: fully local

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
