About grafana/mcp-grafana
An official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server from Grafana that enables AI assistants to query Grafana dashboards, datasources, Prometheus/Loki metrics, alerts, and on-call schedules. It provides a standardized interface for AI tools to interact with Grafana instances, supporting features like dashboard search and summary, datasource queries (PromQL, SQL), alert rule management, and resource listing. Designed for integration with MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor, it requires Grafana 9.0+ and a service account token for authentication.
