Grafana MCP MCP Server
Query Grafana dashboards and manage alerts via MCP.
Overview
This Model Context Protocol server enables seamless integration with Grafana, the leading open-source observability platform. Developed by Grafana, this MCP server provides direct access to query dashboards and manage alerts programmatically through the Model Context Protocol standard. It bridges the gap between AI applications and Grafana infrastructure, allowing intelligent agents to retrieve real-time monitoring data, correlate metrics, and automate alert management workflows without manual intervention.
The server supports comprehensive Grafana operations including querying dashboard panels, retrieving alert rules and their statuses, managing notification policies, and accessing historical alert data. Users can extract metrics from multiple datasources, execute templated queries across different time ranges, and synchronize alert configurations. The implementation leverages Go's performance characteristics to ensure low-latency interactions with Grafana instances, making it suitable for both small deployments and enterprise-scale monitoring environments with complex alert hierarchies.
This MCP server works with any client implementing the Model Context Protocol specification, including Claude, open-source LLM applications, and custom AI frameworks. Common use cases include automated incident response workflows where AI agents analyze dashboards to diagnose issues, intelligent alert routing based on contextual dashboard data, and natural language querying of monitoring systems. Organizations use it to enhance on-call experiences, streamline observability automation, and enable data-driven decision-making through conversational interfaces with their monitoring infrastructure.
