What is mcp-cloudwatch-tracker?
mcp-cloudwatch-tracker is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for analyzing and debugging AWS CloudWatch logs. It searches for specific strings, retrieves surrounding context, summarizes analysis, and identifies error patterns. The server is intended for developers and DevOps engineers who need to investigate CloudWatch log data programmatically.
How to use mcp-cloudwatch-tracker?
You can run the server via npx (recommended) or Docker. Both methods require an AWS access key, secret key, and region. For npx, execute:
