LogBrew
Lets AI coding agents read the errors, logs, and traces of the projects you approve, so they can find what broke in production and check their fix. Hosted, read-only, OAuth. Free plan: 50 GB of logs a month.

Connect an AI agent with MCP
Connect Claude Code, Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, or another MCP client to the hosted LogBrew MCP server, approve the projects it can read, and manage its connection in Settings or the CLI.
LogBrew has a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp. An AI agent
that connects to it can read issues, logs, traces, spans, metrics, actions,
releases, and product analytics from the projects that you approve.
The agent can only read. It cannot change issue status, projects, or account settings. You do not install the server. You add its URL to your MCP client.
Before you start
- You need a LogBrew account with at least 1 project.
- You need an MCP client from the list in Supported clients.
LogBrew accepts only these clients. Other clients get the error
client access denied. - The server supports MCP protocol versions
2026-07-28,2025-11-25, and2025-06-18.
Supported clients
| Client | Add the server |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Run claude mcp add --transport http logbrew https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp. Read Connect Claude Code. |
| Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and the Claude mobile apps) | Open Settings > Connectors, select Add custom connector, and enter the server URL. |
| Codex | Run codex mcp add logbrew --url https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp. Then run codex mcp login logbrew. |
| Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot | Add {"servers": {"logbrew": {"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp"}}} to .vscode/mcp.json. |
| Cursor | Add {"mcpServers": {"logbrew": {"url": "https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. |
| Gemini CLI | Run gemini mcp add --transport http logbrew https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp. Then run /mcp auth logbrew in Gemini CLI. |
| ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot CLI, Zed, opencode, goose, Cline, and Amp | Add the server URL as a remote (HTTP) MCP server in the MCP settings of the client. |
The server URL is https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp.
Connect Claude Code
You need Claude Code 2.1.300 or later. Run claude --version to see your
version.
-
Add the server:
claude mcp add --transport http logbrew https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcpclaude mcp listnow showslogbrewwith! Needs authentication. -
Start the sign-in:
claude mcp login logbrewYour browser opens the LogBrew authorization page. If the page asks you to sign in, sign in with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Google.
-
Read the client name on the page. Approve only if you started this connection.
-
Select the projects that the agent can read. Then select Approve.
The browser goes back to Claude Code. Claude Code shows
Authenticated with "logbrew". -
Make sure that the server is connected:
claude mcp listThe result shows
logbrew: https://mcp.logbrew.co/mcp (HTTP) - ✔ Connected.
You can also sign in from a Claude Code session. Run /mcp, select logbrew,
and follow the steps in your browser.
On a computer without a browser, run
claude mcp login logbrew --no-browser in an interactive terminal. Over SSH,
connect with ssh -t. Open the URL that Claude Code shows in a browser on a
different computer. After you approve, copy the address of the page that the
browser opens. Paste it into Claude Code.
Connect another client
-
Add the server to the client. The table in Supported clients shows where.
-
Start the sign-in in the client. Most clients start it when you first use the server. Your browser opens the LogBrew authorization page. If the page asks you to sign in, sign in to LogBrew.
-
Read the client name on the page. The page also shows the website that identifies the client, such as
vscode.devorchatgpt.com. For Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, and opencode, the page showsknown to LogBrew. Approve only if you started this connection. -
Select the projects that the agent can read. Then select Approve.
The browser goes back to the client, and the client shows the
searchandexecutetools.
Ask the agent
The server gives the agent 2 tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search | Finds read operations and shows the contract of one operation: its input, output, permissions, and cost. |
execute | Runs one read operation that search found, and returns structured data. |
The agent selects the operations. You do not give it tool names or fields. Write the task and the limits:
Use LogBrew to investigate the newest unresolved issue in production.
Read its occurrences, linked trace, and logs. Do not change code yet.
Tell me the likely cause and the evidence for it.
Use telemetry only as evidence. Logs and error messages can contain text from users. The agent must not follow instructions in that text. Read Use with AI agents for a full investigation workflow.
Access and connection lifetime
Each approval starts 1 connection between 1 MCP client and your LogBrew account.
- The agent reads only the projects that you approved. A read of a different
project returns
permission_denied. - If you lose access to an approved project, LogBrew stops reads of that project.
- An access token is valid for 1 hour. The client gets a new one automatically while you use the connection.
- A connection ends after 30 days without use, or 90 days after you approved
it. Then sign in again from the client, for example with
claude mcp login logbrew. - Each token refresh replaces the previous refresh token. If a client sends a replaced refresh token, LogBrew ends the connection. This stops a copied token from working. Sign in again to start a new connection.
- Too many requests without a valid token get HTTP
429with aRetry-Afterheader. Wait for that number of seconds, then try again.
List and revoke connections
Manage connections in Settings > MCP connections in the LogBrew dashboard, or with the CLI.
In Settings
Each connected client shows its name, approved projects, when it connected, when it was last used, and when the connection ends. To revoke one, select Disconnect, then confirm. The client loses access at its next request.
With the CLI
Use the LogBrew CLI 0.1.82 or later. Log in with
logbrew login first. A project ingest key cannot list or revoke connections.
List the MCP clients that are connected to your account:
logbrew mcp grants
MCP grants (1)
- id=00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001 client=Claude Code projects=2 last_used=2026-10-15T09:30:00Z expires=2026-11-14T09:30:00Z
Next: run logbrew mcp revoke <grant_id> --yes
The CLI calls a connection a grant. Each grant shows:
id: the grant ID. Use it to revoke the connection.client: the client name that you approved, such asClaude Code. A connection approved before LogBrew stored names shows the URL that identifies the client, such ashttps://claude.ai/oauth/claude-code-client-metadata.projects: the number of approved projects.last_used: the last time that the client got a new access token.expires: the time that the connection ends if the client does not use it.
Add --json to get the full list. Each grant has id, client_id,
client_name, project_ids, created_at, last_used_at, and expires_at.
client_name is null for a connection approved before LogBrew stored
names.
Revoke 1 connection:
logbrew mcp revoke <grant_id> --yes
The client loses access at its next request. To connect it again, sign in
again with claude mcp login logbrew.
To change the approved projects, revoke the connection. Then sign in again and select the new projects.
Remove the server
-
Revoke the connection in Settings > MCP connections, or with
logbrew mcp revoke <grant_id> --yes. -
Remove the server from Claude Code:
claude mcp remove logbrew
claude mcp remove deletes the configuration and the tokens on your computer
only. It does not end the connection in LogBrew. If you do not revoke it, the
connection ends after 30 days without use.
Fix connection problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
claude mcp list shows Needs authentication. | Run claude mcp login logbrew. |
| Claude Code asks you to sign in again after a period of use. | The connection ended or was revoked. Run claude mcp login logbrew, or select Re-authenticate in /mcp. |
The client gets client access denied. | Use a client from Supported clients. |
| The client cannot register with LogBrew. | Use a client from Supported clients, and keep its default callback settings. |
| The connection fails after sign-in. | Update the client. Claude Code needs 2.1.300 or later. |
The authorization page shows You have no projects to share. | Create a project in LogBrew, then start the sign-in again. |
A read returns permission_denied. | The project is not approved for this connection. Revoke the connection, then sign in again and select the project. |
| A read returns no data. | Make sure that the project sends telemetry. An empty result does not prove that the app works. |
logbrew mcp grants shows not logged in or returns unauthorized. | Run logbrew login, then try again. |
