GCP MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that enables AI assistants to interact with GCP services, particularly focused on log analysis and root cause investigation.

Features

  • Cloud Logging Integration: Query and analyze GCP Cloud Logging data

  • Real-time Log Streaming: Stream logs for immediate analysis

  • Error Pattern Detection: Identify common error patterns and anomalies

  • Multi-Project Support: Work across multiple GCP projects

  • Secure Authentication: Uses GCP service account credentials

  • Root Cause Analysis: Tools to help with quick RC findings

Supported GCP Services

  • Cloud Logging: Query, filter, and analyze logs

  • Cloud Monitoring: Retrieve metrics and alerts (planned)

  • Error Reporting: Access error statistics and details (planned)

  • Cloud Trace: Distributed tracing analysis (planned)

Installation

⚡ Quick Install

git clone https://github.com/JayRajGoyal/gcp-mcp.git cd gcp-mcp ./install.sh

Claude Code Integration (One Command!)

The easiest way to add this MCP server to Claude Code:

# If you have gcloud configured (recommended): claude mcp add gcp-logs -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/Users/$USER/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json -- python3.11 -m gcp_mcp.cli --project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Or with a service account key file:

claude mcp add gcp -- python3.11 -m gcp_mcp.cli --credentials /path/to/your/service-account-key.json

Manual Configuration (Alternative)

Add this to your Claude Code configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "gcp": { "command": "python3.11", "args": ["-m", "gcp_mcp.cli", "--credentials", "/path/to/your/credentials.json"], "cwd": "/path/to/gcp-mcp" } } }

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher

  • GCP project with appropriate APIs enabled

  • Service account with necessary permissions

Manual Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JayRajGoyal/gcp-mcp.git cd gcp-mcp
  1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Run with your credentials:

python -m gcp_mcp.cli --credentials /path/to/your/credentials.json

Usage

Starting the Server

python -m gcp_mcp.server

Available Tools

Log Query

Query GCP Cloud Logging with advanced filters:

query_logs(project_id, filter, limit, time_range)

Log Analysis

Analyze logs for patterns and anomalies:

analyze_logs(project_id, service_name, time_range)

Error Investigation

Find and analyze error patterns:

investigate_errors(project_id, service_name, time_range)

Configuration

Create a config.json file:

{ "default_project": "your-gcp-project-id", "log_retention_days": 30, "max_results": 1000, "excluded_log_names": [ "projects/your-project/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Fdata_access" ] }

Authentication

The server supports multiple authentication methods:

  1. Service Account Key File: Set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

  2. Application Default Credentials: For GCE, Cloud Shell, etc.

  3. User Credentials: Via gcloud auth application-default login
