Configure Grafana OSS — provisions dashboards from YAML, sets up data sources (Prometheus / Loki / Tempo / Pyroscope), writes dashboard JSON with template variables, builds panel queries, assigns built-in roles (Viewer / Editor / Admin / GrafanaAdmin), mints service-account tokens, edits grafana.ini server config, creates annotations, installs plugins via provisioning, and validates each step with a health-check curl. Use when building dashboards, configuring data sources, setting up provisioning YAML, picking a panel type, writing template variables, managing users and roles, configuring SMTP/OAuth in grafana.ini, creating annotations via API, troubleshooting why a provisioned dashboard isn't showing up, or running Grafana OSS locally — even when the user says "set up a Prometheus data source", "provision dashboards from git", "make a service account", or "configure SSO in OSS" without saying "Grafana OSS".

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
