How to Use the New Relic MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline authenticate with the New Relic MCP Server?

You configure the connection in clinemcpsettings.json using your Vinkius endpoint token. Cline connects over a secure transport layer and immediately gains access to your New Relic telemetry tools.

Q: Can Cline write code based on live New Relic metrics?

Yes, Cline pulls real-time performance data using getapmsummary to identify slow functions. It then refactors your local files in VS Code to optimize database queries or memory allocation.

Q: How does Cline handle complex New Relic NRQL queries?

Cline executes raw NRQL queries through the runnrql tool. It parses the resulting dataset to generate markdown tables or visual summaries in your VS Code sidebar.

Q: Can I manage my New Relic service level objectives using Cline?

You can list your SLOs by calling listservicelevels inside the Cline interface. The agent reads these New Relic indicators to help you prioritize performance optimization tasks.

Connect this New Relic MCP Server to Cline to write code and build dashboards using live telemetry directly in VS Code.

Build live dashboards using Cline and New Relic

Cline doesn't just display your data; it uses `get_dashboard` to pull down your current New Relic layout configuration and writes local code to recreate those charts. The agent reads the dashboard schema and builds equivalent React or Vue components in your VS Code workspace. It uses `list_dashboards` to scan your New Relic account and select the correct template. You get a fully functional, styled monitoring component built entirely by Cline in your editor.

Fix active bugs with Cline

When Cline connects to the New Relic MCP Server, it pulls active incidents using `list_alerts`. It then matches the alert details with your local VS Code workspace files to find the buggy file. After identifying the file, Cline calls `get_apm_summary` to verify if memory usage or response times are spiking in New Relic. The agent edits the code, runs your local test suite, and prepares a git commit to resolve the incident.

Explore your telemetry architecture

Cline navigates your monitoring setup by calling `list_accounts` to find the correct New Relic workspace. It then queries `list_entities` to see every service, host, or serverless function currently reporting data. By calling `get_entity_details`, Cline learns the exact environment variables and tags of your New Relic infrastructure. This gives the agent the precise context it needs to write environment-specific deployment scripts in VS Code.
