Search dashboards, query Prometheus and Loki data, and work with incidents and alerts.

Official serverRemote + localObservability & incidents

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grafana": {
      "url": "https://mcp.grafana.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Grafana is hosted by Grafana Labs, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Grafana can do. Search dashboards, query Prometheus and Loki data, and work with incidents and alerts. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
