Connect Amazon CloudWatch Log Group MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Amazon CloudWatch Log Group to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Search logs inside Windsurf
Cascade needs to see what happens in your stack to fix errors. This MCP Server gives your agent read access to a specific log group without you hunting through the AWS console. You run `filter_log_events` to pull recent entries directly into your chat window. It keeps the context local.
Debug production with Windsurf
Stop jumping between your terminal and browser tabs. Just ask Cascade to check the logs for a specific error code or timestamp. It triggers `filter_log_events` to grab the data you need. Your agent processes the raw output and suggests a fix for your code based on what it found.
Read CloudWatch via Windsurf
Keep your monitoring data secure by restricting access to a single log group. You define the scope, and the server handles the rest. Your agent uses `filter_log_events` to pull logs into your active session. It's a clean way to inspect your infrastructure state.
