Vendor-official MCP server. Hosted or maintained by the vendor.

Things to check

Requires direct API access to Grafana and Elasticsearch/Loki instances; authentication method and network restrictions depend on your Grafana deployment. Real-time alerting and complex multi-dashboard orchestration are better handled by Grafana's native workflows.
