New Relic MCP Server
Let your coding agent query New Relic metrics, logs, traces, and entities through MCP instead of copying NRQL into another tab.
Overview
New Relic MCP Server is an MCP server for the Operate phase that lets agents query New Relic metrics, logs, traces, entities, and related observability data.
What is this MCP server?
- Official New Relic MCP at mcp.newrelic.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
- Query metrics, logs, traces, and entities from agent sessions
- Requires New Relic User API key (NRAK- prefix) via api-key header
- Registry version 0.1.0—early official observability MCP surface
- Bridges NR data model to MCP tool-calling for incident triage
- Registry-listed server version 0.1.0
- Documented data classes: metrics, logs, traces, entities, and more
- Single official remote: mcp.newrelic.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
When production misbehaves, copying NRQL and entity GUIDs between New Relic and your agent burns time during incidents.
Who is it for?
Indie SaaS operators already on New Relic who want agent-assisted investigation of logs, traces, and metrics.
Skip if: Greenfield projects with no NR account or builders who only need local unit-test feedback.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query New Relic telemetry through MCP so triage stays in one thread with your codebase context.
- Agent-queryable metrics, logs, traces, and entity context from New Relic
- Faster incident exploration without leaving the coding agent
- MCP-native bridge to NR observability for automation-minded operators
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Observability access is canonical Operate shelf placement because solo builders reach for it after ship when incidents and performance questions appear. Monitoring matches the server’s stated scope—metrics, logs, traces, entities—so agents can investigate production health from the IDE.
How it compares
Observability query MCP, not email lifecycle (NitroSend) or pre-execution governance (Neura Relay).
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is New Relic MCP Server for?
Solo builders and small teams on New Relic who use AI coding agents and want direct access to metrics, logs, traces, and entities via MCP.
When should I use New Relic MCP Server?
Use it in Operate during monitoring and incident response when you need the agent to explore NR data alongside code changes.
How do I add New Relic MCP Server to my agent?
Configure the remote https://mcp.newrelic.com/mcp with streamable HTTP and set the api-key header to your New Relic User Key (NRAK-).
