Query and analyze your Axiom logs, traces, and all other event data in natural language
Axiom mcp server connects Axiom to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Query and analyze your Axiom logs, traces, and all other event data in natural language.
Works with Claude desktop app. Implements six MCP tools:
A Model Context Protocol server implementation for Axiom that enables AI agents to query your data using Axiom Processing Language (APL).
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
Releases — Download the latest built binary from the releases pageSource — The Source tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
Before the server will start you need to supply 8 environment variables: AXIOM_TOKEN, AXIOM_URL, AXIOM_QUERY_RATE, AXIOM_QUERY_BURST, AXIOM_DATASETS_RATE, AXIOM_DATASETS_BURST, AXIOM_MONITORS_RATE, AXIOM_MONITORS_BURST. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Monitoring servers replace the paste-the-stack-trace ritual with an assistant that reads the real event, with all its surrounding context intact. Axiom sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Releases, Source — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other monitoring security servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
