How to connect the System Log Seeker MCP Tool to VS Code

Efficiently tails and seeks through large system logs with keyword filtering. This guide provides the exact configuration required to load the tail_system_logs tool inside VS Code.

Step 1: Open the configuration file

Locate and open your VS Code configuration file at the following path:

macOS / Linux.vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or settings.json

Windows.vscode\mcp.json (workspace) or settings.json

Step 2: Add the server config

Copy and paste the following JSON snippet into the file. Save the file and restart VS Code.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenticstore": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentic-store-mcp", "--tools", "tail_system_logs"]
    }
  }
}

Once restarted, ask VS Code something like this to trigger the tool:

"Tail the last 100 lines of my app.log containing 'Error'."
