PagerDuty MCP Tools & API Patterns
Overview
PagerDuty provides an official hosted MCP server at mcp.pagerduty.com (US) and mcp.eu.pagerduty.com (EU). The server exposes 66 tools generated from PagerDuty's REST API and is generally available to all PagerDuty accounts. When accessed through the MCP Gateway, credentials are injected automatically — no manual auth handling needed.
Critical auth note: PagerDuty uses
Token token=<key>header format, NOTBearer. UsingBearerreturns 401.
Authentication
Token Type and Header Format
Authorization: Token token=<your-user-api-token>
| Token Type | Where to Generate | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| User API Token (recommended) | My Profile → User Settings → API Access → Create API User Token | Your user's permissions |
| General Access Token | Admin → API Access Keys → Create New API Key | Full account access (requires admin) |
User API tokens are preferred — they carry individual audit attribution and work for all 66 MCP tools.
EU Region
For EU PagerDuty accounts, the gateway operator sets VENDOR_URL_PAGERDUTY=https://mcp.eu.pagerduty.com. No change needed in your API token.
How the Gateway Injects Credentials
The MCP Gateway stores your token as an org credential and automatically forwards:
Authorization: Token token=<stored-api-token>

Pagination
PagerDuty uses offset-based pagination with limit and offset parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
limit | Results per page (max 100) | 25 |
offset | Number of results to skip | 0 |
total | Include total count in response | false |
Pattern:
- Call tool with
limit=100,offset=0 - Check
response.more— iftrue, fetch next page withoffset=100 - Continue until
response.moreisfalse
Common Filter Parameters
Most list tools support these standard filters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
team_ids[] | Filter to specific teams |
service_ids[] | Filter to specific services |
user_ids[] | Filter to specific users |
since | Start time (ISO 8601) |
until | End time (ISO 8601) |
statuses[] | Filter by status values |
Error Handling
| HTTP Code | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | Invalid or missing token | Verify token; use Token token= format, not Bearer |
| 403 | Insufficient permissions | Check user role; some tools require Account Owner |
| 404 | Resource not found | Verify the ID exists with a list call first |
| 429 | Rate limited | Back off 60 seconds; PagerDuty limits 900 req/min |
| 500 | PagerDuty internal error | Retry once; check PagerDuty status page |
Best Practices
- Filter server-side — Use
team_ids[]andservice_ids[]to scope results - Paginate with limit=100 — Max allowed; reduces round trips for large accounts
- Use
since/untilfor incident queries — Avoid unbounded queries on large accounts - List before get — Always list to find IDs before calling single-resource get tools

- Incidents — Incident lifecycle, triage, PSA correlation
- On-Call Management — Schedules, escalation, overrides

bulk-ingestion
End-to-end discipline for turning any large data source (audio libraries, email takeouts, document corpora, chat exports, API dumps) into brain pages at scale. The lifecycle spine: SCHEMA → ACCESS → TRIAL → EVALUATE → IMPROVE → CODIFY → TEST → SKILLIFY → BULK → MONITOR. State is tracked in a durable JSON manifest (see MANIFEST-PATTERN.md) so any crash, session boundary, or subagent fan-out resumes from ground truth instead of memory.
