New Relic

You can run the New Relic MCP Server to programmatically access New Relic APIs and interact with monitoring and observability data. This server enables AI assistants and other tools to list, query, and manage APM data, dashboards, alerts, logs, deployments, and more through a streamlined MCP interface.

How to use

To use the MCP server with an MCP client, start the server and connect using the provided command. The server runs locally and exposes a set of endpoints you can call through your client to perform common New Relic operations, such as listing applications, querying NRQL, retrieving dashboards, managing users, and testing log parsing rules. For secure access, configure credentials via the recommended keychain setup on macOS or use environment variables when needed.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Python 3.10 or newer and a working Python package environment. You should have pip available to install Python packages.

Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install newrelic-mcp-server

Option 2: Install from source

# Clone this repository
