A plugin configuration that connects an agent to Grafana, a tool for viewing and monitoring application data, through an MCP server. It requires a Grafana URL and service-account token, with an optional organization ID.

Use it to configure access to a Grafana instance for the capabilities provided by its MCP server. The supplied configuration does not list the specific Grafana operations available.

It avoids putting the Grafana connection details and authentication setup directly into each tool call. The token is marked sensitive and should be kept out of ordinary text.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

grafana scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
