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
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 Cursor
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.
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- 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.
