New Relic MCP Server
Query New Relic telemetry, manage dashboards, and troubleshoot MCP server performance via NRQL.
Quick Answer / TL;DR
The New Relic MCP server establishes a secure, local or remote JSON-RPC 2.0 communication tunnel, allowing AI models (like Claude or Cursor) to automatically discover and execute capabilities (tools, prompts, and resources) within the New Relic ecosystem with extremely low latency.
Key Takeaways
- Query NRQL for latency spikes
- Manage synthetic monitors
- Create custom dashboards
Verifiable Authority: This New Relic integration is catalogued in the MCPserver.in directory with validated schema conformance and is referenced by the official Model Context Protocol specification for observability tooling.
Core Integration Concept
Connecting the model to New Relic bypasses complex setup. The LLM can auto-discover what endpoints are active, what input variables are expected, and how answers will be delivered.

Setup Overview
Connection Setup Checklist
- Prepare Credentials: Obtain your New Relic API Key credentials directly from your New Relic settings.
- Update Config: Add the executable tool command structure directly to your Claude config file.
- Restart & Confirm: Reload the desktop model client to complete the connection handshake sequence.
Sample Connection Schema
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "execute_newrelic",
"arguments": {
"query": "status_check"
}
},
"id": 1
}Security Considerations
To guarantee perfect data isolation, safeguard the New Relic API Key credentials. Always run integrations in sandboxed contexts to block unsolicited access.
Best Practices
- Configure exact resource boundaries for the NRQL queries feature.
- Configure exact resource boundaries for the Dashboard builder feature.
- Configure exact resource boundaries for the Alert policies feature.
- Configure exact resource boundaries for the Entity search feature.
