mcp-grafana

MCP server for Grafana

Grafana's officially maintained MCP server. The AI can search your dashboards, run PromQL and LogQL queries directly, and read current alert and incident state.

It earns its keep during incidents — ask "which service's error rate climbed in the last 30 minutes?" and the AI writes the PromQL itself. That's a big deal if you don't write PromQL often enough to remember the syntax.

What it does for you

Connects your AI to Grafana — query dashboards, read metrics and alerts, investigating monitoring data through chat.

Capabilities

  • Query dashboards and metrics
  • Read alert status

Once installed, try asking your AI

Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected

  • Any alerts fired in the last hour?

Why use it

Good for: SREs and backend engineers using Grafana for observability, especially while on call.

Before connecting: use a Grafana service account token with the Viewer role — that's enough for queries. Don't grant Admin; the AI has no reason to edit dashboards.

Install / Connect

# No npm package — install from source.
# See the repo's README for the exact command:
# https://github.com/grafana/mcp-grafana

Follow the official README; env and args vary per server.
