## Documentation

## What Fluxtail does

Fluxtail MCP server gives MCP-compatible AI tools access to centralized application logs and selected Fluxtail administration tasks. Agents can search logs, work with streams, manage receivers, and manage sources. This makes Fluxtail suitable for conversational log investigation and account-scoped operations without requiring the agent to use a separate, non-MCP interface for each task.

The service is hosted rather than presented as a local MCP process. Fluxtail also provides browser-based Live Tail, which is a separate way to watch incoming log activity interactively.

## How it works

An MCP-compatible client connects to Fluxtail through its hosted HTTP MCP interface. OAuth controls access, and operations are scoped to the connected account. Once authorized, the client can use the available log-search and resource-management capabilities exposed by Fluxtail.

The main workflow is to ask an AI tool to find relevant application log entries, then inspect or manage the Fluxtail resources involved in collecting and organizing those logs. Streams, receivers, and sources represent the administration surface described for the MCP connection.

## Setup and configuration

Use Fluxtail's hosted HTTP MCP endpoint from an MCP-compatible AI tool and complete the OAuth authorization flow. Access is tied to the authenticated Fluxtail account, so the account used during authorization determines the scope of available operations.

No local runtime, package installation, or environment variables are required for the hosted service based on the described connection model. Browser Live Tail can be used independently when a visual, continuously updating log view is more appropriate than an AI-driven query.

## Tools and capabilities

- Search centralized application logs.
- Manage Fluxtail streams.
- Manage receivers used by the Fluxtail account.
- Manage log sources.
- Connect through a hosted HTTP MCP endpoint.
- Use OAuth-based, account-scoped access.

## Limitations and notes

The MCP connection is account-scoped, so its access depends on the OAuth identity used by the client. Fluxtail's browser Live Tail is an additional interface rather than a replacement description of the MCP tools. The service is intended for MCP-compatible AI tools and relies on the hosted HTTP connection model rather than a documented local server setup.
