Google Cloud Observability MCP Server

What it does

A local MCP server in Google's gcloud-mcp repository that lets an AI client read Google Cloud observability data. Its tools list log entries, log names, buckets, views, sinks and scopes from Cloud Logging, list metric descriptors, time series and alert policies from Cloud Monitoring, search traces and fetch one by ID from Cloud Trace, and list error groups from Error Reporting. It runs on Node.js and calls the APIs with Application Default Credentials, so you sign in with gcloud for both your user and the application, and a quota project with the needed APIs enabled is required. The repository describes itself as a preview.
