HHoneycomb MCP (official, remote)

Vendor-hosted
What we probed (2026-11-11, no credentials): an MCP initialize POST to https://mcp.honeycomb.io/mcp returned HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge (authorization server https://ui.honeycomb.io). We did not sign in or use a key, so no tools were listed or called. Honeycomb's docs state this endpoint (and an EU one), with OAuth consent or a Honeycomb API key, and scopes that can be read-only. Vendor-hosted, no public source: 65 cap, not source-audited, core tools not tested.
Honeycomb-hosted endpoint. Initialize returned HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge (resource metadata lists https://ui.honeycomb.io as the authorization server). We did not sign in or use a key, so no tools were listed or called. Source isn't public: vendor-hosted 65 cap (Our review, Nov 11, 2026).

Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
