A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that enables AI assistants to interact with GCP services, particularly focused on log analysis and root cause investigation.

Features

Cloud Logging Integration: Query and analyze GCP Cloud Logging data
Real-time Log Streaming: Stream logs for immediate analysis
Error Pattern Detection: Identify common error patterns and anomalies
Multi-Project Support: Work across multiple GCP projects
Secure Authentication: Uses GCP service account credentials
Root Cause Analysis: Tools to help with quick RC findings

Supported GCP Services

Cloud Logging: Query, filter, and analyze logs
Cloud Monitoring: Retrieve metrics and alerts (planned)
Error Reporting: Access error statistics and details (planned)
Cloud Trace: Distributed tracing analysis (planned)

Installation

⚡ Quick Install

git clone https://github.com/JayRajGoyal/gcp-mcp.git
cd gcp-mcp
./install.sh

Claude Code Integration (One Command!)

The easiest way to add this MCP server to Claude Code:

# If you have gcloud configured (recommended):
claude mcp add gcp-logs -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/Users/$USER/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json -- python3.11 -m gcp_mcp.cli --project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Or with a service account key file:

claude mcp add gcp -- python3.11 -m gcp_mcp.cli --credentials /path/to/your/service-account-key.json

Manual Configuration (Alternative)

Add this to your Claude Code configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gcp": {
      "command": "python3.11",
      "args": ["-m", "gcp_mcp.cli", "--credentials", "/path/to/your/credentials.json"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/gcp-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or higher
GCP project with appropriate APIs enabled
Service account with necessary permissions
