The Open Source Drop Lens
Connects your AI assistant to CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alarms. You can query log groups, pull metric data, check alarm states, and search through log streams. This is the workhorse of AWS observability, now accessible conversationally.
The MCP server is free and open source. CloudWatch charges per metric, per log GB ingested, and per query. Most AWS accounts already generate CloudWatch data, so there's no new cost from the MCP server itself. Setup is just AWS credentials.
Maintained by AWS Labs. One of the most useful MCP servers in the entire collection. Every AWS developer checks CloudWatch logs. Querying them by describing what you're looking for instead of writing CloudWatch Insights syntax is a real time saver.
