Does this MCP give my AI access to all my AWS logs?

No. This MCP is designed for absolute containment. It only queries logs from one specific, pre-configured CloudWatch Log Group. It cannot search across other AWS logs or groups.

What kind of data can I query with this MCP?

You can query log events using full CloudWatch Insights syntax. This lets your AI filter, parse JSON, and aggregate data to find specific patterns.

Is this safe to connect to my production environment?

Yes. Because the access is strictly scoped to a single log group, it minimizes the risk of over-permissioning, making it safe for production troubleshooting.

Can I search logs by time period?

Yes. You can prompt the AI to retrieve log events generated within a specific time frame, such as the last hour.

Why limit the agent to a single Log Group?

To enforce zero-trust architecture. An autonomous agent debugging a specific lambda function shouldn't have access to your organization's central VPC Flow Logs or RDS audit logs.

Can the agent delete logs?

No. This capability provides strict read-only access using only the FilterLogEvents API.

What is a filter pattern?

It's a syntax provided by AWS CloudWatch to search for specific terms or JSON properties. For example, 'ERROR' will return only lines containing the word ERROR.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Investigating a Spike

A sudden increase in latency requires checking the logs for correlated error messages or unusual traffic patterns.

User Behavior Audit

You need to track all login attempts for a specific user ID to confirm account activity or detect suspicious access.

Post-Incident Review

After an outage, the MCP allows you to pull all events from the critical time window to understand the root cause.

Compliance Check

The AI can verify if certain actions (like data access) were logged within the required log group.

Automate a task

Put Amazon CloudWatch Log Group to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Amazon CloudWatch Log Group works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Amazon CloudWatch Log Group to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Amazon CloudWatch Log Group, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Amazon CloudWatch Log Group. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
