Question 1

What does the New Relic MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The New Relic integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes New Relic to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Maximize business uptime and drive engineering excellence in the AI era. It lets agents call New Relic actions like Query NRQL, List alerts, Acknowledge alert, and List applications without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which New Relic actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen New Relic MCP connector exposes 5 scoped actions including Query NRQL, List alerts, Acknowledge alert, and List applications. Each action is mapped to a specific New Relic OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to New Relic?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and New Relic. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to New Relic using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to New Relic controlled and audited?

Access to the New Relic integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call New Relic tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.
