Grafana Cloud

Plugin that connects AI agents to the hosted Grafana Cloud MCP server for AI-assisted observability workflows.

The Cloud MCP server is fully hosted and uses OAuth 2.1 authorization — no local installation or service account tokens required.

Using claude.ai, Claude Desktop, mobile, or Cowork? Add the Grafana Cloud connector (https://mcp.grafana.com/mcp) under **Customize → Connectors** (on Team or Enterprise, an Owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**). This plugin uses the same server and sign-in, and adds the grafana-cloud-mcp-tools skill — install it as well as the connector where plugins are supported, and you'll see one set of tools, not two.

Prerequisites

  1. A Grafana Cloud account. Self-hosted users should use the grafana-mcp plugin instead.
  2. An administrator must accept the Grafana Assistant terms and conditions.
  3. You need the Assistant Cloud MCP User role or the grafana-assistant-app.cloud-mcp:access permission. Users with Editor role or higher have this by default.

Setup

No local installation or environment variables required. When your AI agent first connects, you'll be prompted to enter your Grafana Cloud URL and authorize the connection in your browser. Your OAuth token is valid for 1 hour and refreshes automatically for 30 days.
