+# Using Grafana MCP server with Pyroscope
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the Grafana MCP server with Pyroscope.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Before running any code, download the latest Grafana MCP server. For a complete
+list of all possible installation options, see https://github.com/grafana/mcp-grafana?tab=readme-ov-file#usage.
+To quickly get started, it's easiest to install the server via `go install`.
+
+```shell
+go install github.com/grafana/mcp-grafana/cmd/mcp-grafana@latest
+```
+
+Verify the installation worked by running
+
+```shell
+mcp-grafana -h
+```
+
+To run the example, first copy the `.env.template` file to a `.env` file.
+
+```shell
+cp .env.template .env
+```
+
+Then populate the `.env` file with the relevant tokens.
+
+Next, start the services with Docker Compose.
+
+```shell
+docker compose up
+```
+
+This will start a Grafana instance running at http://localhost:3000 and a
+Pyroscope instance running at http://localhost:4040.
+
+We need to get an API key for the local Grafana instance. To do this, follow
+these steps:
+
+1. Open http://localhost:3000/org/serviceaccounts
+1. Create a service account with a "Admin" role
+1. Click "Add service account token"
+1. Generate and copy the token
+1. Save the copied token for the next steps.
+
+Finally, configure your client to use the MCP server. For example, a Claude
+configuration would look like this
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "grafana": {
+      "command": "mcp-grafana",
+      "args": [],
+      "env": {
+        "GRAFANA_URL": "http://localhost:3000",
+        "GRAFANA_API_KEY": "<your service account token>"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Once you saved your client configuration file, you can begin using your LLM to
+fetch data from Grafana. Start with asking something like:
+
+> Can you list all the data sources in my Grafana instance?
+
+If everything is set up correctly, the LLM should identify two data sources:
+Prometheus and Pyroscope. From here, you can ask for information about Pyroscope
+like:
+
+> Can you list all the service names in Pyroscope?
+
+Happy prompting!
