MCP: the Model Context Protocol
MCP - the Model Context Protocol - is a standardized way for software vendors to make their applications interface to AI tooling. Using MCP, AI models can get up-to-date information to augment their training models.
MCP was developed by Anthropic, but is vendor-neutral. Many AI providers offer MCP interfaces to their models, and many software vendors provide MCP interfaces into their products.
OpsPilot provides one MCP interface, the OpsPilot MCP.
OpsPilot MCP
OpsPilot users can connect their AI tooling to their data using the Model Context Protocol, a standard tool interface which allows AI models to communicate in real time with external tools.
MCP is used by many providers, including Claude Desktop, to help AI tooling access (and in some cases effect change in) external tools and systems.
The OpsPilot MCP is an integration of the Grafana MCP project.
Note
The OpsPilot MCP is a read-only data source – you can’t make changes to your account using it.
Key capabilities
- Perform queries against Metrics (Mimir/Prometheus) and Logs (Loki).
- Get dashboards, panels, and the queries behind those panels – and run them directly (Prometheus and Loki only).
