Run the server with python -m grafana_mcp and add it to Claude Code using claude mcp add-json grafana with a stdio transport configuration.

Frequently asked questions

What tools does Grafana MCP provide?

It provides `get_grafana_info()`, `list_dashboards()`, `get_dashboard(uid)`, `get_organization()`, and `list_datasources()`.

How do I authenticate with Grafana?

Create a `.env` file with `GRAFANA_URL` and `GRAFANA_API_TOKEN`, where the API token is generated in Grafana under Configuration → API Keys.

What are the runtime dependencies?

The package requires Python, `grafana-client`, `python-dotenv`, and `mcp` (Model Context Protocol server implementation).

Do I need a running Grafana instance to get started?

The test suite includes mocked tests that do not require an actual Grafana instance, but the server itself needs a valid Grafana URL and API token to function.

How do I add Grafana MCP to Claude Code?

Use the command `claude mcp add-json grafana '{ "type": "stdio", "command": "python", "args": [ "-m", "grafana_mcp" ], "env": {} }'`. Add `--scope user` for global availability.
