Why it got an A
New Relic's own hosted MCP server, reached at a URL (US or EU) with an OAuth sign-in to your New Relic account, or a user API key. It needs a paid plan. OAuth is the better route: it asks for the observability:read scope, tokens last 5 minutes, you sign in again after 24 hours, and it never grants more than your roles allow; some tools only work over OAuth. The docs list tools that turn plain English into NRQL, build alert-insight and user-impact reports and analyze deployment impact, plus preview tools for traces and service dependencies. The docs also say your AI will "take actions" in your account but don't say which tools write, so keep tool approval on and use a role with read access only. The server is closed source and the grade rests on New Relic's documentation, not on code we could read. The linked repo is New Relic's Claude Code plugin (config and skill files that point at the hosted URL), not the server. Biggest deduction: the docs carry no dates or changelog and the plugin repo last changed in June 2026, so we scored maintenance in the 60-180 day band; the docs also don't say whether the server is generally available or which tools can change data.
How to connect
Hosted: https://mcp.newrelic.com/mcp/ (EU: https://mcp.eu.newrelic.com/mcp/), OAuth sign-in on first use. Claude Code plugin: newrelic/claude-code-pluginIs New Relic MCP Server safe?
Is New Relic MCP Server safe to use?
New Relic MCP Server grades A (strong public trust signals). Updates are occasional, so fixes may be slow to arrive.
Does New Relic MCP Server have known vulnerabilities?
Not in our current data: it has no open CVEs or advisories. We re-check as new ones are published.
Does New Relic MCP Server support authentication?
Yes. It requires a login, so access can be tied to a person or a scoped key.

No complaints after a month
Installed it on a Friday, it was part of my workflow by Monday. Release pace is moderate, so I pin a version and check in monthly. Would recommend without hesitation.

Easy win for our agent setup
I use this almost daily. The API key sits in the config file, so I made a dedicated key with minimal permissions.

Decent, not set-and-forget
Good for experimenting, still deciding about production. Release pace is moderate, so I pin a version and check in monthly. Fine in production if you sandbox it.

Our team uses it every day
Hooked New Relic MCP Server into Claude Code and it worked on the first try. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click.

Quietly reliable
Replaced a homegrown script with New Relic MCP Server and have not looked back. Token setup is the fiddliest part, after that it is smooth. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Good choice if you need New Relic in your agent.

Trustworthy enough for real work
Of the New Relic integrations I tried, this one is the most predictable. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Issues get answered eventually. Not fast, not abandoned. Happy to run it in production.

Saves me a context switch every hour
Clear tool names, sensible outputs, very few surprises. Gave it its own API key so I can revoke it without breaking anything else. Would recommend without hesitation.

The New Relic integration I wanted
Our agents call this dozens of times a day. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. Issues get answered eventually. Not fast, not abandoned. Easy recommendation.

Does what it says, no drama
Started with it as an experiment, now it is a fixture. Gave it its own API key so I can revoke it without breaking anything else. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk. It is in our production agent and I sleep fine.
Used for Generating boilerplate from existing patterns

Earned a permanent spot in my config
Simple to set up in Cursor, simple to reason about. I would prefer to read the code, but the hosted service has been dependable.
