MCP server for querying Google Cloud Logging
Documentation
Google Cloud Logging MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Google Cloud Logging. This server allows AI assistants to query, search, and analyze logs from Google Cloud Platform projects.
Features
- Query Logs: Search and filter logs across GCP projects
- Get Log Details: Retrieve detailed information about specific log entries
- List Projects: List available GCP projects
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Bun runtime
- Google Cloud credentials configured
- Access to Google Cloud Logging API
Quick Start
1. Install dependencies:
bun install2. Set up Google Cloud credentials:
# Option 1: Use gcloud CLI
gcloud auth application-default login
# Option 2: Use service account
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account.json"3. Set your project ID:
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"4. Run the server:
bun run startUsing with Claude Desktop
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

"mcpServers": {
"cloud-logging": {
"command": "bun",
"args": ["run", "/path/to/cloud-logging-mcp/src/main.ts"],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT": "your-project-id"
}
}
}
}Example Tool Usage
Query Logs
Search and filter logs from Google Cloud Logging.
{
"tool": "queryLogs",
"input": {
"projectId": "my-project",
"filter": "resource.type=\"cloud_run_revision\" AND severity>=ERROR",
"orderBy": {
"timestamp": "desc"
},
"pageSize": 50
}
}Parameters:
- `projectId`: GCP project ID
- `filter`: Log filter query (follows GCP logging query syntax)
- `orderBy`: Sort order for results
- `pageSize`: Number of results per page
- `pageToken`: Token for pagination
- `resourceNames`: Specific log resources to query
- `summaryFields`: Fields to include in the summary
Get Log Detail
Retrieve complete details for a specific log entry.
{
"tool": "getLogDetail",
"input": {
"projectId": "my-project",
"logId": "65f5a7b60000000001234567"
}
}Parameters:
- `projectId`: GCP project ID
- `logId`: The unique identifier of the log entry
List Projects
List all accessible Google Cloud projects.
{
"tool": "listProjects",
"input": {}
}Parameters: None
Common Filter Examples
- By severity: `severity>=ERROR`
- By time range: `timestamp>="2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"`
- By resource: `resource.type="cloud_run_revision"`
- By text search: `textPayload:"connection timeout"`
- Combined: `resource.type="k8s_container" AND severity=ERROR AND timestamp>="2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"`
Troubleshooting
1. Authentication errors: Ensure your Google Cloud credentials are properly configured
2. Permission errors: Check that your account has the `logging.logEntries.list` permission
3. No results: Verify your filter syntax and that logs exist for your query
Development
# Run tests
bun test
# Type checking
bun run typecheck
# Linting
bun run lint
# Format code
bun run formatArchitecture
The server follows a clean architecture pattern:
- `/adapter`: External service integrations (Google Cloud APIs)
- `/domain`: Core business logic and data models
- `/port`: Interface definitions and MCP tool handlers
- `/util`: Utility functions and helpers
