Run Grafana Tempo in Even

Even Stacks launches Grafana Tempo as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Grafana Tempo in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 3200, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://tempo.localhost.

Drive Grafana Tempo with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Grafana Tempo directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open its dashboards in the browser pane, read the metrics, and set up alerts. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Grafana Tempo and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: No web UI; ingest traces via OTLP gRPC on port 4317 or HTTP on port 4318, or Jaeger HTTP on port 14268. Query a trace by ID via GET http://localhost:3200/api/traces/<traceID>, or connect Tempo as a Grafana data source. Data stored in /var/tempo.
