Grafana Integration

The Grafana integration allows MCP Express to run Grafana alerting actions so non-developer users can list rules, inspect active alerts, and manage silences with LLM and mcp tools.

Capabilities

• Alert Rule Visibility: List configured Grafana alert rules.
• Firing Alert Visibility: Get currently firing alerts.
• Silence Management: List, create, and delete alerting silences.
• Secure Token Authentication: Use a Grafana service account token for authentication.

Technical Resources

Use the following modules to configure connection details, action payloads, and operating guidance for Grafana alerting workflows.

📄️ Integration

To connect MCP Express to Grafana, configure authentication and alerting permissions before enabling alert management tools. This integration provides secure access to list alert rules, inspect firing alerts, and manage silences using a Grafana service account token.

📄️ Configuration

Once the Grafana connection is validated, configuration defines how MCP Express exposes alerting operations as callable tools. Each action requires the base connection parameters and may require additional action-specific parameters at runtime.

📄️ Security and Patterns

Use these controls to run Grafana alerting actions safely in production. The primary goals are to keep alerting access scoped, minimize token exposure, and prevent unintended silence mutations.
