About New Relic MCP Server
Connect your New Relic account to your AI agent and gain full visibility into your applications and infrastructure through natural conversation using the powerful NerdGraph GraphQL API.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple New Relic tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Entity Discovery — List and search for monitored entities such as APM applications, hosts, containers, and browser apps.
- Custom Querying — Execute raw NRQL (New Relic Query Language) strings to retrieve specific datasets and custom metrics.
- Golden Metrics — Fetch real-time APM summaries including error rates, Apdex scores, and average response times.
- Incident Monitoring — Track active AI-detected issues and open alerts across your accounts.
- Dashboard Oversight — List and retrieve configuration details for your custom observability dashboards.
- Account Management — Access current user metadata and list all accessible New Relic accounts.
- SLO Tracking — Monitor defined Service Level Indicators (SLOs) and performance levels.
