Can my agent search for specific dashboards in my Grafana instance?

Yes. Use the 'search_dashboards' tool. You can provide an optional query string to match titles or tags. The agent will return basic info including the unique UID required for deeper inspection.

How do I extract the PromQL or SQL queries from a dashboard panel via chat?

Use the 'get_dashboard' tool with the dashboard UID. Your agent will retrieve the full JSON configuration, including all panels and their underlying data queries, enabling you to review the exact metrics logic natively.

Can I see firing alerts through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_alerts' tool. The agent retrieves all configured alert rules and their current statuses, allowing you to identify which monitors are currently in a firing state synchronousy.

Why Use Google ADK with the Grafana MCP Server

Google ADK provides unique advantages when paired with Grafana through the Model Context Protocol.

Google ADK natively supports MCP tool servers — declare a tool provider and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution

Built on Gemini models, ADK provides long-context reasoning ideal for complex multi-tool workflows with Grafana

Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in — not bolted on

Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine Grafana tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions

Grafana + Google ADK Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the Grafana MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query Grafana and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis

Multi-modal workflows: combine Grafana tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent

Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query Grafana regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift

Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including Grafana

Grafana + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating Grafana MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
