bridgemcp-logging

Structured invocation logging for BridgeMCP.

Every tool call, resource read, and prompt render is recorded with timing, exception details, and a structured log record. Zero configuration required.

---

Installation

pip install bridgemcp-logging

Requires bridgemcp-py >= 0.2.1 and Python 3.11+.

---

Quickstart

from bridgemcp import BridgeMCP
from bridgemcp_logging import LoggingPlugin

app = BridgeMCP(name="my-server")
app.register_plugin(LoggingPlugin())

@app.tool
def greet(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

app.run()

Console output for each call:

[2026-06-30 12:00:00Z] INFO  tool:greet           2.1ms  OK

---

Configuration

from bridgemcp_logging import LoggingPlugin, LoggingConfig, ConsoleHandler

plugin = LoggingPlugin(
    config=LoggingConfig(
        success_level="DEBUG",   # level for successful calls (default: "INFO")
        error_level="ERROR",     # level for failed calls (default: "ERROR")
        log_kwargs=True,         # include call arguments in the record (default: False)
        log_result=False,        # include return values in the record (default: False)
    ),
    handler=ConsoleHandler(stream=sys.stdout),
)
app.register_plugin(plugin)

log_kwargs and log_result are False by default because arguments and return values may contain secrets or large payloads. Enable them explicitly when needed.

LoggingPlugin

class LoggingPlugin(Plugin):
    name = "bridgemcp-logging"
    version: str          # from installed package metadata
    description: str

    def __init__(
        self,
        config: LoggingConfig = LoggingConfig(),
        handler: ConsoleHandler = ConsoleHandler(),
    ) -> None: ...

    def setup(self, app: BridgeMCP) -> None: ...
    async def on_startup(self, app: BridgeMCP) -> None: ...
    async def on_shutdown(self, app: BridgeMCP) -> None: ...

LoggingConfig

class LoggingConfig(BaseModel, frozen=True):
    success_level: str = "INFO"
    error_level: str = "ERROR"
    log_kwargs: bool = False
    log_result: bool = False

InvocationRecord

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class InvocationRecord:
    invocation_id: str
    app_name: str
    framework_version: str
    plugin_version: str
    primitive: str              # "tool" | "resource" | "prompt"
    name: str
    kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None
    result: Any
    exception: Exception | None
    exception_type: str | None
    exception_chain: list[str]
    succeeded: bool
    duration_ms: float
    started_at: datetime
    finished_at: datetime
    level: str

TextFormatter

class TextFormatter:
    def format(self, record: InvocationRecord) -> str: ...

Produces one-line human-readable output:

[2026-06-30 12:00:00Z] INFO  tool:greet           12.3ms  OK
[2026-06-30 12:00:01Z] ERROR tool:send_email        3.2ms  FAILED  SMTPAuthenticationError: ...

ConsoleHandler

class ConsoleHandler:
    def __init__(
        self,
        stream: TextIO = sys.stderr,
        formatter: TextFormatter = TextFormatter(),
    ) -> None: ...

    def emit(self, record: InvocationRecord) -> None: ...
    def flush(self) -> None: ...

---

Exception handling

If a tool, resource, or prompt handler raises, the exception is captured in the InvocationRecord, the record is emitted, and the exception is re-raised. The logging plugin is transparent — it never swallows exceptions.

asyncio.CancelledError and KeyboardInterrupt are not captured (they are not Exception subclasses and should propagate without interference).

---

Middleware ordering

bridgemcp-logging should be the first plugin registered so its timing measurement covers the full middleware chain:

app.register_plugin(LoggingPlugin())   # outermost — measures total wall time
app.register_plugin(AuthPlugin())
app.register_plugin(RateLimitPlugin())

---

Versioning

bridgemcp-logging is versioned independently from bridgemcp-py. Compatible versions:

bridgemcp-logging	bridgemcp-py
0.1.x	>= 0.2.1
