- Identifies error sources and their timing
- Suggests remediation actions (e.g., contact person)
- Integrates via the MCP protocol

Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Claude MCP Server for Observability Demo
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Clone the repo, install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, start the server with python logreader.py, then configure Claude Desktop by editing its config JSON to point to the logreader server. Launch Claude, start a new chat, and ask a question like “I noticed errors in the logs on the 22nd March. Help me investigate.” Claude will use the three server‑provided tools to answer, possibly after asking for permission.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

# Claude MCP Server for Observability Demo Companion repo to this video: [Claude MCP Server for Observability](https://youtu.be/lWO9M9SpGAg) [![Claude MCP Server for Observability](https://img.youtube.com/vi/lWO9M9SpGAg/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWO9M9SpGAg) ## 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
