Mcp Server Seq

What is Mcp Server Seq?

Mcp Server Seq is an MCP server that provides comprehensive access to Seq's API endpoints for interacting with your logging and monitoring system. It is designed for developers and operators who need to query signals, events, and alerts from Seq through the Model Context Protocol.

How to use Mcp Server Seq?

Configure the server by setting the SEQ_BASE_URL (optional, defaults to http://localhost:8080) and SEQ_API_KEY (required) environment variables. You can install globally via npm install -g mcp-seq or use it directly with npx -y mcp-seq. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport stdio --env SEQ_BASE_URL=<url> --env SEQ_API_KEY=<key> seq -- npx -y mcp-seq; for Claude Desktop, add the configuration to claude_desktop_config.json. An optional seq-ops skill can be installed for structured log analysis.
