cd docker-logs-mcp
uv sync

Connecting to Cline

Add to Cline's MCP servers:

{
  "docker-logs": {

    "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/docker-logs-mcp", "python", "-m", "src.docker_mcp"]
  }

Project Configuration

Each Docker project must have a .deploy file in its root:

SSH_HOST=user@server.com
PROJECT_DIR=/opt/project
SSH_PORT=22          # optional, defaults to 22

This file is also used by the deploy script (source ./.deploy).

Parameters

Description

Server Command

docker_logs

project (req.), service (all), tail (500), errors_only (true), max_length (300)

Latest Docker service logs. By default shows only WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL, lines truncated to 300 chars — saves tokens

cd $PROJECT_DIR && docker compose logs --tail=N --no-color SERVICE

docker_ps

project (req.)

Status of all project Docker containers

cd $PROJECT_DIR && docker compose ps --format json

docker_stats

project (req.)

CPU and RAM usage of containers

cd $PROJECT_DIR && docker stats --no-stream --no-trunc --format json

server_info

project (req.)

General VPS info: uptime, disk (df -h /), memory (free -h), container status

uptime && df -h / && free -h && cd $PROJECT_DIR && docker compose ps

docker_grep

project (req.), pattern (req.), service (all), tail (500), context (0), ignore_case (false)

Search logs with grep -E. More token-efficient than docker_logs for targeted search — returns only matching lines

cd $PROJECT_DIR && docker compose logs --tail=N --no-color SERVICE | grep -E [flags] 'PATTERN'
