Grafana MCP Server
Grafana's MCP server is the observability hub for AI agents. The first wave of capabilities centres on dashboards: search, get full or summary views, extract specific dashboard properties via JSONPath, patch dashboards while keeping the full JSON out of the response. The second wave covers datasource operations across the major Grafana datasource types (Prometheus, Loki, ClickHouse, CloudWatch, Elasticsearch). The third wave runs queries directly: PromQL against Prometheus including histogram percentile calculations, LogQL against Loki with pattern detection, InfluxDB queries (InfluxQL or Flux), ClickHouse SQL. The architectural decision worth understanding: context-window management is treated as a first-class concern, with `get_dashboard_summary` and `get_dashboard_property` providing scoped access to large dashboards while keeping the full JSON out of the agent's context. This is the kind of detail that signals vendor maturity. Grafana version 9.0+ is required for full functionality; older instances may miss specific datasource API endpoints. For teams running Grafana, this is the observability MCP to install.
