ChronoLog MCP provides an integration point to access ChronoLog's distributed, time-ordered log store through the MCP (Model Context Protocol) framework. This server enables real-time logging, event processing, and structured interactions with LLMs and other tools by exposing a standardized interface for querying, streaming, and coordinating log data. Use the MCP tools to push log entries, subscribe to event streams, run lightweight queries, and integrate ChronoLog's tiered storage model into larger workflows. The server is designed to operate within containerized environments and can be orchestrated alongside other MCP servers in a plugin-based ecosystem. Expect support for real-time ingestion, time-based ordering guarantees, and modular plug-in capabilities to extend functionality with domain-specific logic.

Prerequisites:

• Docker installed and running on your host or cluster
• Access to ChronoLog MCP image registry or a prebuilt image name

Installation steps:

1. Pull or reference the ChronoLog MCP Docker image (example image name used here): docker pull chronolog-mcp-image:latest

2. Run the MCP server container (adjust image name and environment as needed): docker run -it --rm --name chronolog-mcp -p 9000:9000 chronolog-mcp-image:latest

3. (Optional) Provide a configuration file or environment variables for ChronoLog integration, e.g.:

   • CHRONOLOG_CONFIG=/etc/chronolog/config.json
   • CHRONOLOG_LOG_LEVEL=info

4. Verify the server is up by checking logs or hitting its health endpoint (if exposed): docker logs chronolog-mcp

   or curl http://localhost:9000/health

5. If you need to customize startup, sign modal options into a docker run command or use a deployment manifest for your orchestrator (Kubernetes, etc.).

Notes and tips:

• The Docker image name may differ depending on your build and registry; replace chronolog-mcp-image with your actual image tag.
• Ensure time synchronization across nodes to maintain accurate physical-time based distribution.
• If you experience network or permission issues, verify container permissions and host firewall rules.
• Use CHRONOLOG_CONFIG to point the MCP server to a specific ChronoLog deployment or cluster, especially in multi-node setups.
• Monitor CHRONOLOG_LOG_LEVEL to tune verbosity during development and debugging.
