Grafana AI Marketplace is a collection of plugins and related configuration for using AI coding agents with Grafana observability workflows. It connects agents to Grafana through either a hosted Grafana Cloud MCP server or a locally run Grafana MCP service, and its catalogue add-ons provide those integrations.
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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00104 | $0.02027 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.01014 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00405 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
grafana-cloud-mcp-tools 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 13d ago.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Grafana Cloud MCP Server
Hosted MCP server providing 60+ Grafana Cloud tools via Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authorization.
Prerequisites
- Grafana Cloud account (self-hosted users should use the local OSS MCP server instead)
- Assistant Cloud MCP User role or
grafana-assistant-app.cloud-mcp:accesspermission (Editor role or higher has this by default) - An administrator must have accepted the Grafana Assistant terms and conditions
Configuration
The Cloud MCP server connects via https://mcp.grafana.com/mcp using Streamable HTTP transport. No local installation or environment variables are required.
Setup steps
- The MCP server connects automatically when the plugin loads.
- When prompted, enter your Grafana Cloud URL and authorize the connection in your browser.
- Your OAuth token is valid for 1 hour and refreshes automatically for 30 days.
Read and write access
When authorizing, you choose which permissions to grant:
- Read access: View dashboards, alerts, incidents, and query data sources. Always available.
- Write access: Create and modify dashboards, alerts, and incidents. You can uncheck this to grant read-only access.
Organization Admins can grant write access by default. If write access is disabled on the consent page, the user needs the Assistant Admin role.
Tool categories
Search and navigation
search_dashboards— search for dashboards by query stringsearch_folders— search for folders by query stringgenerate_deeplink— generate deeplink URLs for dashboards, panels, and Explore queries

What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

grafana-cloud-mcp-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository grafana/ai-marketplace (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 2,027 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
