Remote, read-only MCP server for your Grafana instance, running as an Apify Standby Actor.
It wraps the official grafana/mcp-grafana (v2.1.1) with --disable-write,
so only tools that read data from Grafana are exposed (dashboards, datasources, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, alerting, OnCall, incidents).
Setup
- Create a Grafana service account (a Viewer role is enough) and a token for it.
- Create a task for this Actor and fill in:
- Grafana URL, e.g.
https://grafana.example.com - Grafana service account token (stored as a secret)
- Grafana organization ID (optional)
- Grafana URL, e.g.
- In the task's Standby settings, make sure the Actor input is passed to Standby runs.
- Copy the task's Standby URL and append
/mcp. This is the MCP endpoint.
Every request needs an Apify API token. Prefer a scoped token that can only run this Actor/task.
Connecting clients
| Client | How |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http grafana https://<task-standby-host>/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" |
| Claude API (MCP connector), Claude Managed Agents | Server URL https://<task-standby-host>/mcp, Apify token as the bearer / authorization token |
| claude.ai, Claude Desktop | Custom connector with URL https://<task-standby-host>/mcp?token=<APIFY_TOKEN>. If your organization has request-header auth for connectors, use an Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header instead of the query parameter. |
Notes
- Grafana URL, credentials and org come only from the Actor input; the proxy forwards only MCP transport headers, so
AuthorizationandX-Grafana-*overrides never reach the server. - Without credentials, the server still starts and lists tools, and its
initializeinstructions explain how to configure them. Tools that query Grafana fail; public-docs tools still work. - Pricing: free; you pay only for Apify platform usage of the Standby runs.
