Creativity · MCP — server

MCP New Relic Server

New Relic unifies APM, infrastructure, logs, and synthetic monitoring behind NRQL (New Relic Query Language). The MCP New Relic Server lets Claude run NRQL, list dashboards, and fetch entity metadata — turning the model into an on-call buddy for application performance.

Frequently asked questions

What does a typical query look like?

Claude can call run_nrql with something like SELECT percentile(duration, 95) FROM Transaction WHERE appName = 'api' SINCE 1 hour ago — then summarize the result.

Does it support Alerts?

Yes — fetching alert policies and incident data works well. Mutating alert policies is usually gated or disabled.

What about logs?

New Relic Logs live in NRDB; NRQL against Log event types works via the same run_nrql tool.
