grafana-assistant is a Cursor plugin that packages skills and rules for developing and using the Grafana Assistant app and its CLI. According to the README, it includes a rules file with best practices for using Grafana MCP tools and a skill file for interacting with Grafana Assistant via the A2A API using the grafana-assistant CLI. Grafana Assistant itself is described on the Grafana homepage as a built-in AI chat feature in Grafana Cloud that helps build dashboards, find and fix issues, and answer queries. The plugin is separate from the grafana-mcp plugin, which the README says provides 40+ MCP tools for dashboards, alerting, Prometheus, Loki, and more. Pricing, licensing, and install steps for this plugin are unknown.
