Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev

Chainguard's mcp-grafana
container image is comparable to the upstream image, with the following differences:
mcp-grafana
features a stripped down, minimal designPull the mcp-grafana Image
Run the Container
Replace `` with your actual Grafana API key.
Once the container is running, the MCP-Grafana server will be listening on port 8000 and ready to accept requests from compatible clients or AI agents.
You do not interact directly with the container via a shell.
Instead, you connect to the MCP-Grafana server from a client application (such as Claude Desktop, VSCode, or another compatible AI tool) or by sending HTTP requests.
Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.
In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Containers include:
For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev
variant.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev
variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
