New Relic + ChatGPT
Query New Relic (NRQL, alerts, incidents, dashboards, deployments, entities) from any AI agent via NerdGraph + REST. 7 tools, API-key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
NEW_RELIC_USER_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps two New Relic APIs: the modern NerdGraph (GraphQL) at api.newrelic.com/graphql AND the legacy REST API for deployments (api.newrelic.com/v2).
Setup:
- Log into https://one.newrelic.com → top-right avatar → API keys.
- Create a User key (type: USER, NOT 'License key' / 'Ingest key'). Scopes: account read at minimum; admin if you want to create deployments. Set
NEW_RELIC_USER_KEY. - Note your Account ID (visible in the URL or via the keys page). You'll pass it as a parameter to most tools.
- EU region: if your org is on the EU data centre, change baseUrl to
https://api.eu.newrelic.com.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
New Relic. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
