seq-mcp is a standalone MCP server that gives AI agents controlled API access to a user-owned Datalust Seq instance.

Design goals:

• Clear and explicit tool contracts.
• Safe defaults and input validation.
• Structured error handling for MCP clients.

The server requires both environment variables:

• SEQ_URL
• SEQ_API_KEY

Accepted SEQ_URL formats:

• Host URL (recommended): http://localhost:10150, https://seq.example.com
• Full API base URL (also supported): http://localhost:10150/api, https://seq.example.com/api

• Least-privilege guidance: Security
