# Axiom MCP Server (slim)

> Axiom's hosted MCP server at mcp.axiom.co lets AI agents query logs, traces, events and metrics in an Axiom organisation with APL, read and manage dashboards, monitors and notifiers, and inspect the service map, over OAuth or a token header.

Assessment: An agent can start without a person, provisioning a temporary organisation with one unauthenticated call, and then query with OAuth sessions capped by dollar cost limits under a 99.9 per cent SLA. Tool schemas aren't public, the server is closed source, and the docs call it read-only while listing delete tools.

## Facts

- Kind: MCP server · vendor: Axiom, Inc. · category: Observability & incidents · legal entity: Axiom, Inc. · provenance 83/100
- Endpoint: `https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy))
- Auth: OAuth · pricing: Freemium · x402: no · licence: unknown
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface listed: The hosted MCP server at mcp.axiom.co and mcp.eu.axiom.co, read from the Markdown twins of axiom.co/docs (MCP server, tools reference, AI agents, agent-created organisations, query cost limits, API limits, tokens, limits, pagination, audit log, security, terms, privacy, SLA, DPA), axiom.co (pricing, changelog, company, security, llms.txt), status.axiom.co and its feed, app.axiom.co/.well-known/security.txt and the MCP registry on 3 November 2026. No account was used, no organisation provisioned and no tool called
- Tools: Reads are queryDataset, getSavedQueries, listDatasets, getDatasetFields, listMetrics, listMetricTags, getMetricTagValues, searchMetrics, queryMetrics, listDashboards, getDashboard, exportDashboard, checkMonitors, getMonitor, getMonitorHistory, listNotifiers, services-getMap, services-getChanges and services-getEdgeHistory. Writes are createDataset, createDashboard, updateDashboard, updateDashboardChart, deleteDashboard, createMonitor, updateMonitor, deleteMonitor, createNotifier, updateNotifier, deleteNotifier and sendFeedback
- Prompts: explore-unknown-dataset, detect-anomalies-in-events, correlate-events-across-datasets, data-quality-investigation, establish-performance-baseline, monitor-health-analysis, investigate-service-topology. Resources are planned
- Rate and cost limits: Rate limits per user and organisation stated by X-RateLimit-Scope, -Limit, -Remaining and -Reset headers, 429 with a message when exceeded; query limits in GB-milliseconds by plan in X-QueryLimit headers; query cost limits in dollars per hour and day on tokens and roles, 429 past the cap; provisioning capped at 3 organisations a day
- Regions: US server at mcp.axiom.co handles query results worldwide; EU server at mcp.eu.axiom.co keeps query results in EU data centres; sign-in and non-query requests go to the US API from both
- Agent-created organisations: Unauthenticated provisioning returns an organisation id, a full-permission token and a single-use claim URL; 24-hour expiry, 10 GB ingest and 1 GB-hour query compute while unclaimed, notifiers disabled until claimed
- Audit: Audit log on every organisation for the previous 30 days, full history as an add-on; OAuth sessions listed and revocable under Settings > Profile
- Compliance: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR DPA, HIPAA BAA as a self-serve add-on with RBAC, SSO and audit log, data on AWS encrypted with AES-256, sub-processor list on the trust centre, security.txt and a bug bounty policy
- Legal entity: Axiom, Inc., terms under California law, privacy and DPA contacts at privacy@axiom.co
- Prices: Axiom Cloud platform fee $25 per month (plan); Role-based access control add-on $50 per month (plan)

- Scores: Reliability 72, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 62, Agent ergonomics 63, Security & auth 72, Payments & pricing 60, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 83, Transparency & trust 70 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, Scored as a hosted MCP server. · Schema & documentation, The server is closed source (axiomhq/mcp isn't public) and tools/list needs a session, so the input schemas couldn't be read; partial credit… · Agent ergonomics, 31 tools in the reference, 28 without service map, so the 11-to-30 band with no toolset switch (15). · Security & auth, Browser OAuth creates a session the agent uses as the signed-in user, listed and revocable under Settings > Profile, and the docs say agents… · Payments & pricing, No x402, MPP or L402 (0). · Maintenance & community, Read as a closed service. · Transparency & trust, Closed service with clear terms naming Axiom, Inc.

- Verify (for the vendor): the badge `https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/axiom.svg` or a link to https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/axiom from a page on axiom.co or one of its subdomains, then `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` `{"slug", "url"}` or `verify_listing` at /mcp; re-checked weekly, no effect on the grade.

## Before you call it

1. With no organisation, call `POST https://api.axiom.co/v2/orgs/provision` once, store the returned token and surface the `claimUrl` to the person; both are shown once and the organisation is deleted after 24 hours unclaimed
2. Call `listDatasets` and `getDatasetFields` before `queryDataset`; metrics datasets take `queryMetrics` with MPL, not APL
3. Treat a 429 as a rate limit or a query-cost cap; read `X-RateLimit-Reset` or the limit message for when the window resets, and don't resend sooner
4. Prefer OAuth; if a token header is the only option, expect the PAT to carry the person's full rights and ask them to set a query cost limit on their role first
5. `deleteDashboard`, `deleteMonitor` and `deleteNotifier` are live writes with no confirmation step; list first and confirm with the person before deleting
