# Last9 MCP Server ![last9 mcp demo](mcp-demo.gif) A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server implementation for [Last9](https://last9.io/mcp/) that enables AI agents to seamlessly bring real-time production context — logs, metrics, and traces — into your local environment to auto-fix code faster. - [View demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQH5xq6qzjI) - Read our [announcement blog post](https://last9.io/blog/launching-last9-mcp-server/) ## Status Works with Claude desktop app, or Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCode (Github Copilot) IDEs. Implements the following MCP [tools](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/tools): - `get_exceptions`: Get the list of exceptions. - `get_service_graph`: Get service graph for an endpoint from the exception. - `get_logs`: Get logs filtered by service name and/or severity level. - `get_drop_rules`: Get drop rules for logs that determine what logs get filtered out at [Last9 Control Plane](https://last9.io/control-plane) - `add_drop_rule`: Create a drop rule for logs at [Last9 Control Plane](https://last9.io/control-plane) ## Tools Documentation ### get_exceptions Retrieves server-side exceptions over a specified time range. Parameters: - `limit` (integer, optional): Maximum number of exceptions to return. Default: 20. - `lookback_minutes` (integer, recommended): Number of minutes to look back from now. Default: 60. Examples: 60, 30, 15. - `start_time_iso` (string, optional): Start time in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Leave empty to use lookback_minutes. - `end_time_iso` (string, optional): End time in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Leave empty to default to current time. - `span_name` (string, optional): Name of the span to filter by. ### get_service_graph Gets the upstream and downstream services for a given span name, along with the throughput for each service. Parameters: - `span_name` (string, required): Name of the span to get dependencies for. - `lookback_minutes` (integer, recommended): Number of minutes to look back from now. Default: 60. Examples: 60, 30, 15. - `start_time_iso` (string, optional): Start time in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Leave empty to use lookback_minutes. ### get_logs Gets logs filtered by optional service name and/or severity level within a specified time range. Parameters: - `service` (string, optional): Name of the service to get logs for. - `severity` (string, optional): Severity of the logs to get. - `lookback_minutes` (integer, recommended): Number of minutes to look back from now. Default: 60. Examples: 60, 30, 15. - `start_time_iso` (string, optional): Start time in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Leave empty to use lookback_minutes. - `end_time_iso` (string, optional): End time in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Leave empty to default to current time. - `limit` (integer, optional): Maximum number of logs to return. Default: 20. ### get_drop_rules Gets drop rules for logs, which determine what logs get filtered out from reaching Last9. ### add_drop_rule Adds a new drop rule to filter out specific logs at [Last9 Control Plane](https://last9.io/control-plane) Parameters: - `name` (string, required): Name of the drop rule. - `filters` (array, required): List of filter conditions to apply. Each filter has: - `key` (string, required): The key to filter on. Only attributes and resource.attributes keys are supported. For resource attributes, use format: resource.attributes[key_name] and for log attributes, use format: attributes[key_name] Double quotes in key names must be escaped. - `value` (string, required): The value to filter against. - `operator` (string, required): The operator used for filtering. Valid values: - "equals" - "not_equals" - `conjunction` (string, required): The logical conjunction between filters. Valid values: - "and" ## Installation You can install the Last9 Observability MCP server using either: ### Homebrew ``` # Add the Last9 tap brew tap last9/tap # Install the Last9 MCP CLI brew install last9-mcp ``` ### NPM ```bash # Install globally npm install -g @last9/mcp-server # Or run directly with npx npx @last9/mcp-server ``` ## Configuration ### Environment Variables The Last9 MCP server requires the following environment variables: - `LAST9_BASE_URL`: (required) Last9 API URL from [OTel integration](https://app.last9.io/integrations?integration=OpenTelemetry) - `LAST9_AUTH_TOKEN`: (required) Authentication token for Last9 MCP server from [OTel integration](https://app.last9.io/integrations?integration=OpenTelemetry) - `LAST9_REFRESH_TOKEN`: (required) Refresh Token with Write permissions, needed for accessing control plane APIs from [API Access](https://app.last9.io/settings/api-access) ## Usage with Claude Desktop Configure the Claude app to use the MCP server: 1.
