Logmcp
This is the server you want when Claude needs to debug a Linux box but you're not handing over SSH. It exposes journald streams and file logs over HTTPS with bearer tokens, whitelists, and syslog audit trails. The AI gets list_logs, read_log, search_log, and log_info tools to tail files, grep patterns, and pull metadata. Nothing else. No writes, no shell, no execution. You can run it in quickstart mode for ephemeral testing or install it permanently with systemd. It also supports CLI extensions for wrapping arbitrary tools into MCP and Redis-backed RPC workers if you need lower latency than subprocess spawning. Good for production servers, customer machines, or any environment where least privilege actually matters.

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 quickstart
The 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.
