# CloudWatch MCP Server
This simplified MCP server provides a streamlined way to interact with AWS CloudWatch resources through the MCP protocol. It exposes CloudWatch log groups, log queries, and alarms as resources and tools.
## Features
- List all CloudWatch log groups with their metadata
- List all CloudWatch alarms with their current states
- Query CloudWatch logs using CloudWatch Insights across multiple log groups
- Discover available fields across multiple log groups with shared schema
- Automatic JSON parsing for @message field in log queries
- Check if specific log groups exist
- Get detailed information about specific log groups
- Filter alarms by state (all alarms or only those in ALARM state)
- Retrieve all saved CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- AWS credentials configured (via environment variables, AWS CLI, or IAM role)
- MCP CLI (version 0.1.1 or higher)
- Boto3 (AWS SDK for Python)
## Setup
1. Make sure you have Python 3.12+ installed.
2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):
```
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
```
3. Install dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Configure AWS credentials if you haven't already:
```
aws configure
```
Or set environment variables:
```
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-key"
export AWS_REGION="your-region"
```
## Project Structure
- `cloudwatch_server.py` - MCP server implementation for CloudWatch integration
- `aws_cloudwatch.py` - Simplified AWS CloudWatch integration module
- `test_cloudwatch.py` - Command-line utility to test the CloudWatch integration
## Running the server
Start the MCP server:
```
python cloudwatch_server.py
```
Or using the MCP CLI:
```
mcp run cloudwatch_server.py
```
## Using the MCP server
### Resources
The server exposes the following resources:
- `cloudwatch://log-groups` - Lists all CloudWatch log groups
- `cloudwatch://log-groups/{log_group_name}` - Gets detailed information about a specific log group
- `cloudwatch://alarms` - Lists all CloudWatch alarms
- `cloudwatch://alarms/in-alarm` - Lists only CloudWatch alarms currently in ALARM state
- `cloudwatch://saved-queries` - Lists all saved CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
### Tools
The server provides the following tools:
- `query_logs` - Query CloudWatch logs using CloudWatch Insights
- Parameters:
- `log_group_names`: Single log group name or list of log group names to query
- `query_string`: CloudWatch Insights query string
- `start_time`: (Optional) Start time for the query in Unix timestamp milliseconds
- `end_time`: (Optional) End time for the query in Unix timestamp milliseconds
- Features:
- Automatically parses JSON in @message field
- Returns structured data for JSON messages
- Handles multiple log groups in a single query
- `discover_log_fields` - Discover available fields across multiple log groups
- Parameters:
- `log_group_names`: Single log group name or list of log group names to analyze
- Features:
- Efficiently discovers fields across multiple log groups
- Assumes shared schema across log groups
- Detects nested JSON fields in @message
- Identifies field types (number, boolean, string, array)
- `log_group_exists` - Check if CloudWatch log groups exist
- Parameters:
- `log_group_names`: Single log group name or list of log group names to check
- Returns:
- Dictionary mapping each log group to its existence status
- `get_saved_queries` - Fetch all saved CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
- No parameters required
## Testing the CloudWatch integration
You can test the CloudWatch integration directly using the provided test script:
```
# Make the test file executable
chmod +x test_cloudwatch.py
# List all log groups
./test_cloudwatch.py log-groups
# List all alarms
./test_cloudwatch.py alarms
# Use a specific AWS profile
./test_cloudwatch.py log-groups --profile my-profile
# Enable verbose logging
./test_cloudwatch.py alarms -v
```
## Examples with MCP CLI
Using the MCP CLI:
```bash
# List all log groups
mcp inspect cloudwatch://log-groups
# Get details about a specific log group
mcp inspect cloudwatch://log-groups/my-log-group-name
# List all alarms
mcp inspect cloudwatch://alarms
# List alarms currently in ALARM state
mcp inspect cloudwatch://alarms/in-alarm
# List all saved CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
mcp inspect cloudwatch://saved-queries
# Query logs from multiple log groups using CloudWatch Insights
mcp call query_logs --log_group_names '["log-group-1", "log-group-2"]' --query_string "fields @timestamp, @message | limit 10"
# Query logs from a single log group (still supported)
mcp call query_logs --log_group_names "my-log-group" --query_string "fields @timestamp, @message | limit 10"
# Discover fields across multiple log groups
mcp call discover_log_fields --log_group_names '["log-group-1", "log-group-2"]'
# Check if multiple log groups exist
mcp call log_group_exists --log_group_names '["log-group-1", "log-group-2"]'
# Get all saved CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
mcp call get_saved_queries
```
