Log Analyzer with MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants access to AWS CloudWatch Logs for analysis, searching, and correlation.
🏗️ Architecture
🔌 Model Context Protocol (MCP)
As outlined by Anthropic:
MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
This repository is an example client and server that allows an AI assistant like Claude to interact with CloudWatch logs in an AWS account. To learn more about MCP, read through the introduction.
