remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Simple Loki MCP Server

Loki MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface for querying Grafana Loki logs using logcli. The server enables AI assistants to access and analyze log data from Loki directly.

Features

  • Query Loki logs with full LogQL support
  • Get label values and metadata
  • Authentication and configuration support via environment variables or config files
  • Provides formatted results in different output formats (default, raw, JSON lines)

Prerequisites

  • Node.js v16 or higher
  • TypeScript
  • Grafana Loki logcli installed and accessible in your PATH
  • Access to a Loki server instance

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ghrud92/loki-mcp.git cd loki-mcp
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the project:
npm run build

Configuration

You can configure Loki access using:

Environment Variables

  • LOKI_ADDR: Loki server address (URL)
  • LOKI_USERNAME: Username for basic auth
  • LOKI_PASSWORD: Password for basic auth
  • LOKI_TENANT_ID: Tenant ID for multi-tenant Loki
  • LOKI_BEARER_TOKEN: Bearer token for authentication
  • LOKI_BEARER_TOKEN_FILE: File containing bearer token
  • LOKI_CA_FILE: Custom CA file for TLS
  • LOKI_CERT_FILE: Client certificate file for TLS
  • LOKI_KEY_FILE: Client key file for TLS
  • LOKI_ORG_ID: Organization ID for multi-org setups
  • LOKI_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY: Skip TLS verification ("true" or "false")
  • LOKI_CONFIG_PATH: Custom path to config file
  • DEBUG: Enable debug logging

Config Files

Alternatively, create a logcli-config.yaml file in one of these locations:

  • Custom path specified by LOKI_CONFIG_PATH
  • Current working directory
  • Your home directory (~/.logcli-config.yaml)

Example config file:

addr: https://loki.example.com username: user password: pass tenant_id: mytenant
