About Grafana MCP Server

Grafana Labs' MCP server gives AI assistants access to a Grafana instance and its ecosystem: search dashboards, run panel queries, and query datasources including Prometheus, Loki, InfluxDB and SQL sources. It works with self-hosted Grafana and Grafana Cloud, authenticating with a service account token, and can run through uv, Docker, a binary or Helm.

Grafana MCP Server is an open-source project written primarily in Go, with 3.5k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
