graylog-mcp CLAUDE.md

graylog-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from jperelli/graylog-mcp. It costs 1,946 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on graylog-mcp, a local MCP server that lets an AI agent query Graylog, a log-management system. It covers the project layout, running and debugging, configuration, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding the source files, configuring Graylog instances, running the server, debugging it, and running its tests. It also documents the available log-query tools.
Why use it?
It gives the agent project-specific guidance instead of requiring it to infer how this codebase is organized and operated.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

graylog-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

What this is

A minimal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI agent query one or more Graylog instances. Published to npm as @jperelli/graylog-mcp and run via npx. Pure ESM Node.js, no build step.

Layout

  • src/index.js — the entire server. Single file: instance loading, tool schemas, and handlers all live here.
  • package.jsonbin maps graylog-mcpsrc/index.js (has a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang).
  • README.md — user-facing setup, tool reference, and design rationale.
  • example-config.json — sample MCP client config.
  • test/npm test (node --test test/*.test.js). Dependency-free smoke tests, one file per tool (list_streams, search, analyze, get_message). test/helpers.js stands up a mock Graylog over node:http and launches src/index.js over stdio via the MCP client; each *.test.js file drives one tool against it. No live Graylog needed.

Run / debug

GRAYLOG_BASE_URL_INSTANCE_1=http://host:9000 \
GRAYLOG_API_TOKEN_INSTANCE_1=<token> \
node src/index.js          # speaks MCP over stdio

Set DEBUG=true for verbose logging to stderr. The transport is stdio, so anything on stdout that isn't a JSON-RPC frame breaks the protocol — log to stderr only (console.error).

Configuration model

Instances are configured via numbered env vars: GRAYLOG_BASE_URL_INSTANCE_N, GRAYLOG_API_TOKEN_INSTANCE_N, and optional GRAYLOG_LABEL_INSTANCE_N. Instance 1 also falls back to the legacy BASE_URL / API_TOKEN. Only instances with both URL and token are active; the first is the default.

Tools (all in src/index.js)

  • search — read matching log lines; concise projection by default, verbose/fields for full, absolute from/to supported. On 0 matches it self-diagnoses (see below).
  • analyze — top values of a field + optional time histogram; valueContains substring-matches the values.
  • list_fields — which fields actually exist, filtered by contains.
  • list_streams — readable stream IDs. Rarely needed; capped output.
  • get_message — fetch one full document by _id + _index.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
