Why people use Grafana
Grafana for Observability and Incident Response
With this Connector, your agent does the digging for you. You ask a question, and it pulls the dashboard config or alert status directly into your chat. You get immediate answers instead of manual navigation through multiple tabs.
What Vinkius changes
You get instant access to your monitoring data through natural language.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Where the request belongs
Work Grafana can move forward.
This is for the SREs and DevOps engineers who are tired of clicking through dozens of tabs during a high-pressure incident. It's for anyone who needs to move from manual dashboard navigation to instant, query-based answers.
SRE Engineer
Checks firing alerts and pulls PromQL queries during active incidents to identify root causes faster.
DevOps Engineer
Audits data source connections and searches for specific dashboards to verify deployment health.
Cloud Architect

Before you connect
Questions about Grafana.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Grafana MCP help me during a production outage?
Yes, it lets your agent check firing alerts instantly so you can see what's broken without hunting through the UI.
Can I use the Grafana MCP to see my PromQL queries?
Yes, it can pull the full configuration of any dashboard, including all the underlying queries for every panel.
Does the Grafana MCP support Loki or SQL databases?
Yes, it can list all configured data sources, which includes Loki, SQL, and Prometheus.
How does the Grafana MCP find specific dashboards?
You can ask your agent to search by title or tag, and it will find the right one for you automatically.
Can I use this to audit my monitoring setup?
Yes, it's great for listing all data sources and checking alert rules to ensure everything is configured correctly.
Is the Grafana MCP good for developers?
It's excellent for devs who need to quickly grab metrics or log queries from existing production dashboards.
Can my agent search for specific dashboards in my Grafana instance?
Yes. Use the 'search_dashboards' capability. 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' capability 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' capability. The agent retrieves all configured alert rules and their current statuses, allowing you to identify which monitors are currently in a firing state synchronousy.
