Grafana MCP
An official MCP server from Grafana Labs that exposes capabilities such as Grafana dashboards, Prometheus, Loki and alerting to LLM applications as tool groups. It supports self-hosted Grafana 9.0+ and Grafana Cloud, and is released under the Apache 2.0 open source license.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Grafana MCP is an MCP server officially launched by Grafana Labs that supports Claude Code in searching dashboards, executing PromQL and LogQL, reading alert rules and firing states, and looking up incident records.
Grafana MCP supports self-hosted Grafana 9.0+ as well as Grafana Cloud, under the Apache 2.0 open-source license.
The Dashboards tool group of Grafana MCP allows Claude to search dashboards, get condensed summaries, extract individual properties with JSONPath, and read the query statements of each panel.
The Prometheus tool group of Grafana MCP allows executing instant and range PromQL queries, listing metric and label names, and computing p50/p90/p95/p99 from histograms.
The Loki tool group of Grafana MCP allows executing LogQL log and metric queries, listing labels, and extracting detected log patterns.
The Alerting tool group of Grafana MCP allows listing alert rules and their states (firing, normal, error), and reading notification policies and contact points.
The Incidents & Sift tool group of Grafana MCP allows searching incidents, and running Sift on Grafana Cloud to check logs for error patterns and slow requests.
The --disable-write parameter of Grafana MCP removes all create, update, and delete tools, so that the agent can only read data and cannot modify dashboards or alert configurations.
The Prometheus, Loki, dashboard, alerting, and incident tools of Grafana MCP are enabled by default, while other data sources (such as sql, cloudwatch, elasticsearch, influxdb) must be explicitly enabled via the --enabled-tools parameter.
When using Grafana MCP, pairing it with a Viewer-role token ensures that Claude can only read data and cannot modify dashboards or alert configurations.

50%UnverifiedThe command to connect to Grafana MCP is: claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio grafana --env GRAFANA_URL=<url> --env GRAFANA_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=<token> -- uvx mcp-grafana --disable-write.
50%UnverifiedIt is officially recommended to use uvx rather than pip to launch mcp-grafana, to simplify installation and avoid virtual environment conflicts.
50%UnverifiedGrafana MCP is used in combination with Sentry MCP: Sentry identifies the error type, and Grafana shows when the error started and the state of metrics at that time.
