feat: integrate Gemini CLI with Docker MCP for natural language observability

[falconcr]

Description

This PR implements a natural language interface for observability by connecting the Gemini CLI to Grafana/Loki using the Docker MCP Toolkit.

The implementation allows DevOps engineers to query infrastructure logs and metrics using plain English. The workflow follows a three-step automated sequence:

Datasource Discovery: The system automatically identifies available telemetry backends (e.g., Loki) using the list_datasources tool.

Contextual Translation: Gemini translates natural language prompts (e.g., filtering by device_name) into technical LogQL queries autonomously.

Automated Diagnostics: The system summarizes raw logs and proactively identifies critical anomalies, such as node_filesystem_device_error, without explicit user instruction.

Documentation Review Summary

I've reviewed the new Grafana MCP integration guide. The content is well-structured and provides a useful tutorial for DevOps engineers. However, I found several issues that should be addressed to improve clarity and completeness:

HIGH Severity Issues (3):

• Missing explanation for security recommendations
• Unclear description of AI behavior in logs inspection
• Incomplete help/contact information

MEDIUM Severity Issues (5):

• Wordy phrasing that could be more concise
• Passive voice construction
• Marketing metaphors instead of direct language
• Unclear technical assumptions about Kubernetes
• Promotional tone in closing section

All issues are detailed in inline comments below.

Thank you for this @falconcr

For now, just a heads-up that we're about to release some changes to MCP Toolkit which affects the UX in a way that would impact some of the steps in this guide. We're introducing an abstraction layer for managing server<>client configurations, called profiles.

The guide as such will still be useful. But I think we should wait with releasing this until profiles have been released, to avoid the double work of releasing this now and then updating it in a week or two when profiles are released.

Hello @dvdksn , i just applied the feedback provided. Let me know if you have more comments or when the new release is done in order to update the repo.
