Grafana MCP Server
Grafana's official MCP server — query dashboards and alerts from agents.
About
The Grafana MCP server (grafana/mcp-grafana, Apache-2.0, ~3.6k stars) lets agents query Grafana: dashboards, alerts, incidents, and datasource queries — turning observability into something an agent can act on.
Actively maintained (49 releases/12mo). The missing link for 'the agent noticed the alert and investigated' workflows.
