Grafana MCP

What it is

Connects an agent to a Grafana instance so it can list dashboards, run datasource queries, and inspect alert rules. The value is in incident work: an agent that can pull the same metrics you would open in a browser tab can correlate a deploy with a latency change. Give it a viewer-level token.
