  Google ships a first-party, fully managed REMOTE MCP server for Cloud Logging. It went
  generally available on 2026-04-22 per the Cloud Logging release notes and is enabled with
  the Cloud Logging API itself — there is no package to install and nothing to run locally.
  The tool list below was read from a live anonymous tools/list POST against the endpoint on
  2026-09-12 (HTTP 200), not from the documentation, so every tool name, description and
  inputSchema in mcp/google-cloud-logging-mcp-tools-list.json is the server's own.
deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://logging.googleapis.com/mcp
  auth: oauth
  verified: probed
server:
  name: Cloud Logging MCP server
  transport: http
  url: https://logging.googleapis.com/mcp
  ga_date: '2026-04-22'
  enablement: Enabled when the Cloud Logging API (logging.googleapis.com) is enabled on the project.

      tools/list answers without credentials and returns full inputSchema for every tool.
      Calling a tool still requires an OAuth access token with a logging scope.

      Use this as the primary tool to search and retrieve log entries from Google Cloud

      messages, or auditing events.

surface_shape:
  read_only: true
  note: >-
    All six published tools carry readOnlyHint true. The MCP surface is a READ projection of
    Cloud Logging: it can search entries and inspect buckets/views, but it exposes no
    entries.write, no sink/exclusion/metric mutation and no delete. An agent cannot write or
    destroy log data through this server.
