grafana-cloud-mcp is a plugin that links AI agents to Grafana Cloud's hosted MCP server, enabling AI-assisted observability work without any local setup. Unlike a Docker-based local variant, this version relies on OAuth 2.1 browser authorization instead of service account tokens. It requires a Grafana Cloud account, administrator acceptance of the Assistant terms, and a role or permission granting Cloud MCP access (Editor role or above qualifies by default). Once connected, it exposes more than 60 tools spanning dashboards, data sources, query languages, alerting, incident and on-call management, and more. The OAuth token issued during setup lasts one hour and auto-refreshes for up to 30 days.
