The SolarWinds Logs MCP Server is a tool for accessing and visualizing SolarWinds Observability logs with the following capabilities:
Search Logs:
Perform basic or advanced searches with filter query strings across message, hostname, program, and nested JSON fields using AND/OR operators
Filter by specific group or entity ID
Define custom time ranges using ISO 8601 timestamps (default: last 24 hours)
Paginate results with configurable page size, skip token, and sort direction options
Visualize Logs:
Generate histograms of log events with configurable time intervals (minute, hour, day)
Output in ASCII charts (text format) or JSON data for visualization tools like Claude
Control time zone display (UTC or local time)
Authentication:
Use SolarWinds API token via MCP settings, environment variables, or a local .env file
Supports local testing via .env files for storing API tokens and configuration
Built with TypeScript for type safety and better development experience
SolarWinds Logs MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing and visualizing SolarWinds Observability logs.
Note -
This server is currently incomplete as it does not support structured data search (a limitation of the REST API?). I'm uncertain if it also needs to accept a data center to use in the api endpoint calls. Will address both when time allows (needed it for a real work problem, have to fix that first)
Tools
search_logs
Search SolarWinds Observability logs with optional filtering
Takes search parameters including filter, time range, and pagination options
Returns formatted log entries with timestamps, hostnames, and messages
Supports advanced filtering by group, entity, and more
Default search range is the last 24 hours
visualize_logs
Generate a histogram json response for of log events
Formatted for Claude and canvas representations
Configurable time intervals (minute, hour, day)
Supports UTC or local time zones
Customizable query filters and time ranges
Default visualization range is the last 24 hours
Resources
SolarWinds Log Search
URI Template:
solarwinds://{query}/searchReturns log entries matching the specified query
Example:
solarwinds://error/search
Installation
Optionally install from npm:
npm install -g mcp-solarwinds
Or clone and build from source:
git clone https://github.com/@jakenuts/mcp-solarwinds.git
cd mcp-solarwinds
npm install
npm run build
Or just use npx in your configurations
For Cline VSCode Extension
Add to %APPDATA%/Code - Insiders/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"solarwinds": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-solarwinds"],
"env": {
"SOLARWINDS_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
},
"autoApprove": ["search_logs", "visualize_logs"]
}
}
}
For Claude Desktop
Add to the appropriate config file:
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"solarwinds": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-solarwinds"],
"env": {
"SOLARWINDS_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
}
}
}
}
Special Windows Configuration
If you encounter the ENOENT spawn npx issue on Windows, use this alternative configuration that specifies the full paths:
{
"mcpServers": {
"solarwinds": {
"command": "C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\[node-version]\\node.exe",
"args": [
"C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npx-cli.js",
"-y",
"mcp-solarwinds"
],
"env": {
"SOLARWINDS_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
}
}
}
}
Configuration
The SolarWinds Observability MCP server requires an API token to authenticate with the SolarWinds Observability API.
Configuration Methods
There are multiple ways to provide the API token:
MCP Settings Configuration (Recommended): Configure the token in your MCP settings file
Environment Variable: Set the
SOLARWINDS_API_TOKENenvironment variableLocal .env File (For Testing): Create a
.envfile in the project root withSOLARWINDS_API_TOKEN=your-token
For local testing, you can:
Copy
.env.exampleto.envand add your tokenRun the example script:
node examples/local-test.js
Tool Usage Examples
search_logs
Basic search:
{
"filter": "error"
}
Advanced search with time range and pagination:
{
"filter": "error",
"entityId": "web-server",
"startTime": "2025-03-01T00:00:00Z",
"endTime": "2025-03-05T23:59:59Z",
"pageSize": 100,
"direction": "backward"
}
visualize_logs
Basic histogram (ASCII chart):
{
"filter": "error",
"interval": "hour"
}
Advanced visualization (ASCII chart):
{
"filter": "error",
"entityId": "web-server",
"startTime": "2025-03-01T00:00:00Z",
"endTime": "2025-03-05T23:59:59Z",
"interval": "day",
"use_utc": true
}
Claude visualization (JSON format):
{
"filter": "error",
"interval": "hour",
"format": "json"
}
The JSON format returns data that Claude can visualize as a chart:
{
"timeRanges": ["12:02", "12:03", "12:04", "12:05", "12:06", "12:07", "12:08", "12:09"],
"counts": [261, 47, 48, 48, 31, 262, 270, 33],
"total": 1000,
"queryParams": {
"query": "error",
"startTime": "2025-03-05T00:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "2025-03-05T23:59:59.000Z"
}
}
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. The MCP Inspector provides helpful debugging tools:
npm run debug:inspector
This will provide a URL to access the inspector in your browser, where you can:
View all MCP messages
Inspect request/response payloads
Test tools interactively
Monitor server state
For local testing without the MCP framework:
# Create a .env file with your token
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env to add your token
# Run the example script
node examples/local-test.js
Technical Details
Built with TypeScript and the MCP SDK
Uses axios for API communication
Supports ISO 8601 date formats for time ranges
Generates ASCII histograms for log visualization
Default search range: last 24 hours
Default page size: 50 logs
Supports multiple authentication methods
