New Relic + Cursor
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
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
New Relicis listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
New Relictools are now invokable.
