MCP support
It exposes the `querySLSLogs` tool to MCP clients for querying Aliyun SLS logs with filters, time bounds, and pagination options.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAliyun MCP Server
This MCP server provides tools for interacting with Aliyun (Alibaba Cloud) services through Claude.
Features
- Query SLS (Simple Log Service) logs
- (Future) Manage ECS instances
- (Future) Deploy serverless functions
Configuration
- Build the server:
npm install
npm run build
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aliyun": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/aliyun-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key-id",
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your-access-key-secret",
"SLS_ENDPOINT": "cn-hangzhou.log.aliyuncs.com"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
Configuration for Cline
Add the server to your Cline MCP settings file inside VSCode's settings cline_mcp_settings.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"aliyun": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/aliyun-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key-id",
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your-access-key-secret",
"SLS_ENDPOINT": "cn-hangzhou.log.aliyuncs.com"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
Replace /path/to/aliyun-mcp-server with the actual path to this repository, and provide your Aliyun credentials.
Usage
Once configured, you can ask Claude to query SLS logs:
Query SLS logs from project "my-project" and logstore "my-logstore" with the query "error" for the last hour.
Claude will use the MCP server to execute the query and return the results.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
