When something breaks in production, the usual Claude Code loop is: open Grafana, find the right dashboard, squint at a spike, copy a PromQL query or a chunk of Loki logs, paste it into the terminal, and repeat when Claude asks for a wider time range. You end up as a slow, lossy copy-paste bridge between your metrics and your agent.
Grafana MCP is Grafana Labs’ official MCP server. It lets Claude Code search your dashboards, run PromQL against Prometheus and LogQL against Loki, read alert rules and their firing state, and look up incidents on its own. It works with self-hosted Grafana 9.0+ and Grafana Cloud, and it’s open source (Apache 2.0).
