LogMCP
MCP server — read-only log access for AI assistants. Debug your Linux server with AI, without giving the AI shell access.
No SSH. No write permissions. The AI reads your logs over HTTPS and helps you diagnose problems, while your server stays fully under your control.
LogMCP is an open-source MCP server that exposes log files on a remote Linux server to AI assistants (Claude Code, VS Code, Claude Desktop). Access is read-only, token-authenticated, and fully audited via syslog.
Get Started
Option A: Quickstart (no root required)
Try LogMCP in under a minute — no config file, no root, no systemd:
logmcp quickstartThe command checks your group memberships (adm, systemd-journal), generates a bearer token and a self-signed TLS certificate, starts the server, and prints a ready-to-paste claude mcp add command.
Running as root? Pass --user <name> and LogMCP will add the user to the required groups and re-launch as that user — root is not needed for future starts.
Note: Token and certificate are ephemeral. The token changes on every start. For a permanent setup use Option B.
