Today is the operative word: we check MCP Grafana every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GRAFANA_URL (Base URL of the Grafana instance (e.g. http://localhost:3000).), GRAFANA_TOKEN (Grafana service-account token (Bearer). Use a Viewer-role account for read-only use.), GRAFANA_MODE (Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin. Starts read-only; writes need read-write.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Grafana — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Grafana?

MCP Grafana runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dockndevai/mcp-grafana was installed 341 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Grafana?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dockndevai/mcp-grafana straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Grafana?

The npm package @dockndevai/mcp-grafana was installed 341 times in the last week. Week over week that is +1796%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Grafana open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
