grafana-cloud-mcp is a plugin that connects AI agents to Grafana's hosted Grafana Cloud MCP server, enabling AI-assisted observability workflows without any local installation. According to the README, unlike the local grafana-mcp plugin (which runs via Docker), this Cloud MCP server is fully hosted and authenticates via OAuth 2.1, so no local setup or service account tokens are needed. It requires a Grafana Cloud account, administrator acceptance of the Grafana Assistant terms, and either the Assistant Cloud MCP User role or the grafana-assistant-app.cloud-mcp:access permission (Editor role or higher has this by default). The server exposes 60+ tools spanning dashboards, datasources, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, ClickHouse, CloudWatch, Elasticsearch, alerting, incidents, OnCall, Sift, annotations, navigation, and rendering.

Overview

Grafana Cloud is a hosted observability platform from Grafana Labs covering logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, built on open standards such as OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, and including features like an AI Assistant and cost/telemetry optimization, per the Grafana Cloud homepage.
