## What it does and how to use it

A **connector (MCP)** that links Claude to an external dev tools tool or service, giving it access to real data and actions.

1. Install the connector (command above).
2. Add the service credentials/keys when asked.
3. Claude can now read and act on that service directly.

## Install (Claude Code)

```bash
mkdir -p .claude/mcps && curl -fsSL https://doutorai.pt/data/lib/mcps__grafana.md -o .claude/mcps/grafana.json
```

Paste this command into the terminal, in your project folder, and the component installs automatically.
