Overview

What is New Relic MCP Server?

New Relic MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants directly to New Relic’s observability platform. It provides a suite of tools for querying data (NRQL, NerdGraph), managing entities, incidents, alert policies, APM applications, Synthetics monitors, and deployments. Designed for SRE copilots, it enables natural‑language interaction with New Relic.

How to use New Relic MCP Server?

Install the server with npx -y newrelic-mcp. Configure it in your MCP client’s JSON by setting NEW_RELIC_API_KEY (required) and optionally NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID. The default account ID can be overridden per tool call using the target_account_id parameter. The recommended system prompt guides the assistant on which tool to use for each task (e.g., run_nrql_query for aggregate analytics, REST tools for deployments).

FAQ from New Relic MCP Server

What environment variables are required?

NEW_RELIC_API_KEY is required. NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID is optional; if not set, you must provide target_account_id per tool call.

How do I delete a deployment?

Deletion requires explicit user confirmation. Set the confirm: true parameter when calling delete_deployment.

Is the server region aware?

Yes. REST v2 tools are region‑aware and can be configured per request to target the correct New Relic region (e.g., US, EU).

What is the difference between `run_nrql_query` and `run_nerdgraph_query`?

Use run_nrql_query for aggregate analytics and timeseries data. Use run_nerdgraph_query for graph‑shaped data and entities/alerts APIs.

Does New Relic MCP Server require a New Relic account?

Yes. You need a valid New Relic User API Key and an Account ID to use the server.
