super-log MCP server

super-log is a local tool that gathers log lines from many programs, devices and services and puts them on one shared timeline. This MCP server gives your AI a read-only window into that timeline. It is handy if you already run super-log and want to ask questions about your logs in plain chat instead of scrolling through terminals.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your logs, like what happened in the last few minutes. The AI uses this helper to talk to your local super-log hub. The hub holds every stream that has been sent to it, interleaved on one timeline. The helper can tail live streams, search the saved journal on disk, wait for an event to show up, or read a short guide for a topic you do not know. Then it hands what it found back to the AI, and the AI explains it to you in the chat.

What you can do with it

• Tail a live log stream and see new lines as they arrive
• Search the on-disk journal for past events
• Wait for a specific event to happen and report it
• Read a per-topic guide when you do not know a topic
• List the topics currently on the bench
• Look at recent lines from one topic or all of them

Try asking your AI

• “What errors showed up in the last ten minutes?”
• “Tail the hello topic and tell me what comes in”
• “Search the journal for anything about a failed build”
• “Wait until something from the postgres topic appears, then summarize it”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, usually as short summaries or lists of log lines with their topic and time. If you ask for a search, it can show the matching lines it found. If you ask it to wait for an event, it tells you when the event arrived and what it said. It does not change your logs; it only reads them.
