Query and analyze your observability data through AI. Run APL queries against your Axiom datasets, explore log patterns, investigate incidents, and review monitors. Brings your full observability stack into the AI-assisted development workflow.
Adding Axiom provisions three things in your zone: an upstream resource pointing at https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp (kept inside Keycard), a Keycard MCP Gateway URL - the downstream resource - that you install in Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client, and a provider for token exchange with Axiom’s OAuth issuer.
When your AI client makes a tool call, it sends a Keycard-issued access token to the gateway URL. Keycard’s STS exchanges that token for an upstream Axiom token, the gateway calls the upstream MCP, and the response is proxied back. Your zone’s identity provider, access policies, and audit log apply to every call - the upstream credential never leaves Keycard. Each call is recorded in the audit log with the user identity, the resource accessed, and the policy decision.
Tools the upstream server exposes through the Keycard MCP Gateway.

Install
Section titled “Install”Add Axiom to your zone and install the gateway URL into Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client.
-
Open the catalog
In your zone’s Keycard Console, go to Applications → Add Application → Explore MCP Servers.
-
Find and install Axiom
