Run APL Queries via Claude Desktop

Your AI client can execute native APL queries against your Axiom datasets using the `run_query` tool provided by this MCP Server. You just ask for specific log patterns, and Claude pulls the exact records without you opening a new browser tab. Analyzing gigabytes of observability data becomes a simple conversation. Claude formats the raw JSON output into readable tables or summaries right in the chat interface.

Manage Dashboards and Monitors

Building observability views happens directly through the `create_dashboard` and `create_monitor` tools. You tell the agent what metrics matter, and it provisions the resources on the fly. Need to check an existing setup? The `list_dashboards` and `get_monitor` commands pull down the current configuration so you can tweak alert thresholds without touching the Axiom UI.

Ingest and Annotate Data

Pushing custom events to your logs works instantly using the `ingest_data` tool. Claude takes the context from your current workspace and ships it straight to your specified dataset. Marking deployment windows or incidents is just as fast. The `create_annotation` command drops a marker on your timeline, keeping your team aware of when specific changes occurred.
