Axiom is an event-data platform: logs, traces and metrics land in datasets you query with APL, Axiom's own query language. The official Axiom MCP server hands an agent the same surface, so "what changed in the checkout service between 14:00 and 15:00?" becomes an APL query the agent writes, runs and reads back — with the dataset schema available so it can write a query that actually parses.
Remote and OAuth-backed. The server is at https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp (an SSE endpoint exists at https://mcp.axiom.co/sse). Remote connections authenticate with OAuth 2.0; a local run can use an API token instead. Claude Code takes the URL as a remote MCP server, Cursor has a one-click installer, and any client that can shell out uses npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp.
Twenty-four tools, and a good half of them write. Reads: queryApl, listDatasets, getDatasetSchema, getSavedQueries, listMetrics, searchMetrics, queryMetrics, listMetricTags, getMetricTagValues, listDashboards, getDashboard, exportDashboard, checkMonitors, getMonitorHistory, listNotifiers. Writes: creating, updating and deleting dashboards, monitors and notifiers, plus updateDashboardChart.
That write half is what separates this from a read-only telemetry bridge: an agent that has just found a regression can open the monitor for it and wire up the notifier in the same turn, rather than handing you a query to paste. Scope the credential accordingly — the tools are as powerful as the token behind them.
