LOGAN is an Electron-based log analysis tool with an integrated AI agent interface.
You can communicate with the LOGAN user through its built-in Chat panel. The MCP server is configured in .mcp.json at the project root.
Use this pattern for interactive conversations with the LOGAN user:
1. logan_send_message("Hello! How can I help?")
2. response = logan_wait_for_message(timeout=120)
3. Process response, reply with logan_send_message(...)
4. Repeat from step 2 until user says goodbye

LOGAN includes a setup wizard (gear icon in Chat tab) that:
- Auto-detects Claude Code CLI, existing config, and built-in agent
- Supports three agent types: Claude Code (AI), Built-in, Custom Script
- Saves config to
~/.logan/agent-config.json - Launches the agent immediately after setup
- Always call
logan_statusfirst to check if a file is open - The MCP server auto-connects via SSE for real-time message delivery
- Only one agent can be connected at a time
- See
docs/AGENT_CHAT_GUIDE.mdfor detailed integration docs
- Electron app: main process (
src/main/), renderer (src/renderer/), preload (src/preload/) - MCP server:
src/mcp-server/index.ts(standalone Node.js process, stdio transport) - API server:
src/main/api-server.ts(HTTP on localhost:19532, bridges to IPC) - Config stored in
~/.logan/(global) and.logan/(per-file sidecar)
