About New Relic AI (LLM Observability) MCP Server
Connect your New Relic AI account to any AI agent and take full control of your LLM observability, token cost tracking, and performance analytics through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings New Relic AI (LLM Observability) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- LLM Telemetry Audit — Retrieve detailed LLM chat completion messages and prompt inputs directly from your agent to understand literal model behavior in real-time
- Token Cost Tracking — Execute structural extraction of model costs to calculate exact USD token consumption across your entire AI infrastructure securely
- Performance Monitoring — Extract p95 latency matrices and average response times to ensure your LLM text generation remains performant and sub-second
- User Feedback Loop — Retrieve chronological feedback messages and 1-5 rating scores dumped by human supervisors to identify quality regressions natively
- Custom NRQL Execution — Run sophisticated read-only queries using the New Relic Query Language (NRQL) to extract rich insights from multi-tenant AI datasets instantly
- Custom Event Injection — Post atomic generic telemetry rows to track internal agent states and custom behavioral markers across your observability pipeline
- Resource Discovery — Enumerate active APM apps, dashboards, and alert policies to audit your AI environment's structural health and PagerDuty configurations
The New Relic AI (LLM Observability) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
