Grafana MCP for AI Agents. Command your entire observability stack via conversation.

The struggle of navigating complex dashboards Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Today, checking system health means logging into Grafana. You click 'Metrics,' then you check a tab for alerts. If an alert is firing, you have to manually find the associated dashboard ID and open it up just to see what queries are running. Copying those complex PromQL strings—the ones that actually tell you *why* something failed—is tedious clicking and copy-pasting across five different tabs.

With this MCP, you skip all that UI navigation. You just ask your agent: 'What's wrong with the API service?' It handles finding the right dashboard, retrieving the necessary query strings via `get_dashboard`, and providing you with actionable data immediately in plain text.

Grafana MCP Gives You Complete Observability Control

The manual steps that disappear are: 1) Finding the right dashboard ID; 2) Navigating to the panel settings; 3) Copying complex, multi-line queries. These actions used to take multiple clicks and required context switching.

Now, you manage your entire observability stack—from checking `firing_alerts` status to pulling raw data source metadata using `list_datasources`—all from a single chat window. It's that simple.

What your AI can actually do with this

Monitoring complex systems used to mean clicking through tabs and manually copying IDs. Now, you can connect your observability stack directly to your agent. This MCP gives you full control over dashboard inspections and alerting workflows using only conversation. You tell your AI client what's wrong—maybe latency spiked or an alert fired—and it handles the deep dive.

It searches for relevant dashboards by title or tag right in the chat window, pulling back metadata instantly. Need to know why the metric failed? The agent can retrieve the full configuration of any dashboard, giving you precise PromQL, LogQL, or SQL queries and panel layouts. Plus, it lists every data source connected—whether that's Prometheus or CloudWatch—so you always know where your metrics are coming from.

When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, your agent doesn't just read dashboards; it becomes a full SRE command center right in your chat interface.

Questions you might have

How does the Grafana MCP handle different query languages? +

It handles PromQL, LogQL, and SQL queries. When you use get_dashboard, the agent extracts the exact language used for each specific panel's data source.

Can I check alert status with Grafana MCP if I don't know the service name? +

Yes, the MCP checks active alerts using firing_alerts and reports on all currently firing rules. You don't need to specify a service; it just lists what's going off.

Does Grafana MCP let me edit dashboards? +

No, this MCP is for reading and inspecting data only. It provides the details needed (like queries or UIDs) but cannot modify any settings in your Grafana instance.

What if I need to find a dashboard that uses an old data source? +

Run list_datasources first. This shows all configured sources, helping you identify the right connection type before searching for dashboards using that data.
