How do I connect this MCP to my Grafana account?

You need to provide a Grafana Cloud API Key or a Cloud Access Policy token during the setup process on Vinkius.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I create new Grafana instances through my agent?

Yes, the create_instance capability allows you to provision new stacks on both Free and Pro plans.

Can I manage user permissions?

You can list users in an organization and manage API keys with specific roles like Admin, Editor, or Viewer.

Does Vinkius host the connection?

Yes, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the credentials so you only have to connect your client once.

Connect Grafana Cloud to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Run your infrastructure commands through your AI agent.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rapid Instance Provisioning

Spin up a new Grafana stack for a testing environment using a single text command.

Security Auditing

Quickly check which users have access to a specific organization to ensure compliance.

API Key Rotation

Delete old keys and create new ones with specific roles during security updates.

Deployment Verification

Ask your agent for the status and URL of a specific instance to confirm it is live.

Automate a task

Put Grafana Cloud to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Grafana Cloud works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Grafana Cloud to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 9 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Grafana Cloud, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Grafana Cloud. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
