About Claude MCP Server for Observability Demo

A Python MCP server demo that lets Claude Desktop investigate log errors using three tools. It is a companion to an observability video and includes a sample investigation and remediation outcome.

Key features

  1. 01Three log investigation tools
  2. 02Claude Desktop setup
  3. 03Log error analysis

Use cases

  1. 01Investigating errors on a specific date
  2. 02Identifying a likely pipeline or release cause

MCP support

Exposes three log-focused tools to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, enabling them to investigate logs and suggest remediation.

Claude MCP Server for Observability

Prerequisites

You'll need Claude Desktop for this (a free account is OK)

Step 1: Start MCP Server

  • Clone this repo
  • Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Start the server with python logreader.py

Step 2: Install MCP Servers in Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop. Go to Claude > Settings > Developer and click Edit config.

This will open a folder and highlight a particular JSON file. Open that file and set the content to what's below.

This step makes Claude Desktop aware of your MCP server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "logreader": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/full/path/claude-mcp-server-observability",
                "run",
                "logreader.py"
            ]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Launch Claude

You should see the little "connector" icon. Click that and it should show one installed server called logreader.

Step 4: Ask Claude for Help!

Start a new chat and ask something like: I noticed errors in the logs on the 22nd March. Help me investigate

Claude should figure out that it should use your MCP server (and the three tools it offers) to help answer your query. Claude may request permission to run the tools. Accept the permissions.

Sooner or later (may need additional hints / prompts) you should get the answer and suggested remediation:

  • Pipeline C and the release was most likely responsible for the errors
  • You should contact Susan

New to MCP?

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.
