Koalr MCP Server - Ask Claude, Cursor or Copilot about your engineering metrics

Today we are launching the Koalr MCP server. Ask Claude, Cursor, or Copilot about your engineering data — no dashboard needed. 20 tools: deploy risk scoring, DORA metrics, PR health, incidents, team performance, coverage, AI adoption, and more. Works with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Smithery, and any MCP client. Hosted — no server to run. One API key.

Launched today. Koalr — deployment risk scoring for every PR, before it merges

Hey everyone Andrew here, founder of Koalr. We just launched.

Koalr scores every pull request 0 100 for production risk before it ships. It uses 36 research based signals things like file change blast radius, author expertise drift, CODEOWNERS violations, CI history, and time-of-week patterns to flag risky deploys before they become 2am incidents.

It connects to GitHub in minutes, no code access needed we only read metadata.

I'm Andrew, founder of Koalr — AMA about what actually predicts production failures

Hey PH

I'm Andrew, founder of Koalr a deployment intelligence platform that scores every PR 0 100 for production risk before it merges.

The idea came from 20 years in IT consulting and delivery. I've sat in more post-incident reviews than I can count, and the pattern is almost always the same: someone merged something on a Friday, nobody flagged it, and the team spent the weekend firefighting. The data to catch it was there it just wasn't connected.

So I built Koalr.
