# Grafana MCP
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

The Datadog–Grafana integration is an MCP-based integration that enables Datadog to securely access a Grafana MCP server instance.

Through this integration, the Bits AI SRE agent is granted access to designated Grafana data sources and observability signals exposed through the available MCP tools. This includes access to error logs, slow request data, dashboards, Grafana Sift investigations, and telemetry from Loki and Prometheus.

Note that this integration does not support the Grafana Tempo MCP tools. There is a separate Grafana Tempo MCP integration that supports this.

During the Preview period, Bits AI SRE investigations that include one or more Grafana tool calls will not be billed.
