How to Use the Grafana MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI automatically trigger actions based on Grafana alerts?

Yes. You can write a workflow that calls firingalerts periodically and executes logic if the returned list is not empty.

Q: Is it safe to use Grafana tools in a Mastra AI pipeline?

You should use requireToolApproval for sensitive actions. This keeps a human in the loop before the agent executes any mitigation.

Build automated incident response workflows for Mastra AI using direct Grafana observability.

Automated alert triage with Mastra AI

Create agent workflows that trigger based on current system health. The agent runs `firing_alerts` to detect issues before they escalate. If an alert matches your criteria, the agent automatically progresses to the next step in your Mastra AI pipeline. This removes manual verification from your incident response.

Context-aware dashboard analysis

Give your agents the ability to read dashboard configurations by invoking `get_dashboard`. The agent parses panel queries to understand the root cause of an outage. First, use `search_dashboards` to find the relevant UID. Then, feed that data into your Mastra AI agent to generate a diagnosis.

Datasource discovery for agents

Ensure your agents know their environment by calling `list_datasources`. This lets the agent verify which metrics providers are active before running complex diagnostic routines. Your workflows stay robust by checking the availability of data sources first. It prevents failed tool calls when a specific backend is offline.

Setup guide

Set up Grafana MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Grafana tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "grafana-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "grafana-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Grafana Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Grafana tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Grafana transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
