Grafana Cloud

About

This is an MCP connector that gives the Sazabi agent tools from Grafana's Cloud MCP server (mcp.grafana.com/mcp). The server authenticates via OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration — no API tokens to copy. Once connected, the Sazabi agent can read dashboards, run Prometheus and Loki queries, inspect Tempo traces, and review alert rules across your Grafana Cloud stack.

What the agent can do:

• Browse dashboards and panels and read their underlying queries
• Query metrics, logs, and traces across connected data sources
• Review alert rules, firing alerts, and on-call schedules
• Surface incident and Sift investigation context during debugging

Prerequisites

• An active Grafana Cloud stack
• Permission to authorize third-party OAuth applications in Grafana Cloud
• A role granting the grafana-assistant-app.cloud-mcp:access action

Set up in the dashboard

Configure connectors in the dashboard under Settings > MCP connectors.

Set up with the CLI

You can also connect Grafana Cloud with the Sazabi CLI (installed and authenticated — see sazabi mcp-connectors reference).

Grafana Cloud authenticates over OAuth, so the CLI opens a browser to complete authorization:

sazabi mcp-connectors connect grafana

Add --read-only to restrict the connector to read-only tools, or --project-id <project> to target a specific project. In --json mode the command prints an authorization URL to open, then polls until the connection completes. Confirm the result with sazabi mcp-connectors list.

Verify

Open the connector's connection page under Settings > MCP connectors and confirm Sazabi lists the tools it discovered. Then, in a thread, ask the agent to query metrics or browse dashboards and confirm it returns results. If no tools appear, confirm your Grafana Cloud account has the required role.

Troubleshooting

No tools discovered — Confirm your account has the grafana-assistant-app.cloud-mcp:access action. Disconnect and re-authorize if needed.

Connection shows needs attention — The authorization may have expired or been revoked; reconnect from Settings > MCP connectors.
