Tencent Cloud Log Service (CLS) MCP Server

English | 中文

Tencent Cloud Log Service (CLS) MCP Server, built on the Model Context Protocol. It enables large language models to directly access CLS capabilities such as log search, metric queries, and alarm management — no code required.

Getting Started

Option 1: NPX (Recommended for Local Deployment)

Add the following to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration:

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "isActive": true,
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cls-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRANSPORT": "stdio",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID": "<YOUR_SECRET_ID>",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>",
        "TZ": "Asia/Shanghai"
      }
    }
  }
}

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add "TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST": "internal.tencentcloudapi.com" to env.

Option 2: Self-hosted Streamable HTTP Mode

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

This server runs Streamable HTTP in stateless mode — each request is independent, which makes it suitable for containerized deployments and horizontal scaling.

1. Create a .env file in the current directory:

TRANSPORT=http
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

2. Start the server:

npx -y cls-mcp-server@latest

3. Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Self-hosted SSE Mode

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

1. Create a .env file in the current directory:

TRANSPORT=sse
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

2. Start the server:

npx -y cls-mcp-server@latest

3. Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "sse",
      "isActive": true,
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Option 4: Install from Source

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

1. Clone the repository and build:

git clone <repository-url>
cd cls-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

2. Stdio Mode — Add the following to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "isActive": true,
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/cls-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRANSPORT": "stdio",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID": "<YOUR_SECRET_ID>",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>",
        "TZ": "Asia/Shanghai"
      }
    }
  }
}

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add "TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST": "internal.tencentcloudapi.com" to env.

3. Streamable HTTP Mode — Create a .env file in the project root:

TRANSPORT=http
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npm run start

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

4. SSE Mode — Create a .env file in the project root:

TRANSPORT=sse
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npm run start

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "sse",
      "isActive": true,
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Option 5: Docker Deployment

Prerequisites: Install Docker and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

1. Build the Docker image:

docker build -t cls-mcp-server .

2. Run the container (Streamable HTTP mode, default):

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add -e TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID> \
  -e TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY> \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  --name cls-mcp-server \
  cls-mcp-server

To run the SSE transport instead, add -e TRANSPORT=sse and point the client at /sse with "type": "sse".

3. Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
