assistant-mcp
Connect AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, OpenAI Codex) to Grafana Cloud via the `mcp-grafana` Model Context Protocol server. Installs the server with `go install`, generates a Grafana service-account token, wires `~/.claude/settings.json` or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` with the `command` + `env` block, runs `--disable-write` for safer read-only sessions, switches to SSE transport for team-shared / VS Code setups, and verifies with `/mcp` + a `list_datasources` round-trip. Use when connecting Claude Code to Grafana, setting up MCP for Grafana, configuring the Grafana MCP server, using Grafana tools in Cursor/VS Code, querying Grafana from an AI agent, sharing the MCP server across a team — even when the user says "give my agent Grafana access", "let Claude see my metrics", or "Cursor + Grafana" without saying "MCP".
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "grafana/skills:assistant-mcp" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/grafana/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/grafana-cloud/assistant-mcp ~/.claude/skills/assistant-mcpFrom README
Grafana Cloud MCP Server The Grafana MCP server exposes Grafana Cloud capabilities as tools that AI agents can call via the Model Context Protocol. Agents can then query metrics, search dashboards, manage alerts, investigate incidents, and interact with Fleet Management without leaving the coding environment. Transports: stdio (agent spawns the server as a subprocess, simplest), or SSE (server runs independently, agents connect via HTTP — see references/sse-transport.md). Common Workflows Connecting Claude Code to Grafana (stdio) Get a service-account token: Grafana Cloud → Administration → Service Accounts → create with Viewer role (add Editor only if you need writes) → generate token. Note the Grafana URL (e.g. https://myorg.grafana.net). Wire /.claude/settings.json (or project-local .claude/settings.json): --disable-write is the safer default — drop it once you've verified the read path works. Restart Claude Code, then verify: The grafana server should appear with its tool list.
