--- icon: material/download title: "Install 10x: MCP server first, no account needed" description: "Get started with 10x: install the MCP server into your AI client and run a cost POC in demo mode - no account or API key needed." --- # Install ## :material-rocket-launch-outline: Get Started { #get-started } Install the log10x MCP server into your AI client, then ask it to run a cost POC. No account or API key needed to start: it boots in demo mode against a live EKS demo. === ":simple-claude: Claude" **Claude Code:** ```bash claude mcp add log10x npx log10x-mcp@latest ``` **Claude Desktop**, Settings → Developer → Edit Config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "log10x": { "command": "npx", "args": ["log10x-mcp@latest"] } } } ``` === ":simple-cursor: Cursor" [Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=log10x&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IiwiYXJncyI6WyIteSIsImxvZzEweC1tY3BAbGF0ZXN0Il19), or paste into `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "log10x": { "command": "npx", "args": ["log10x-mcp@latest"] } } } ``` === ":material-hexagon-multiple: Devin" Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "log10x": { "command": "npx", "args": ["log10x-mcp@latest"] } } } ``` === ":material-microsoft-visual-studio-code: VS Code" Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "log10x": { "command": "npx", "args": ["log10x-mcp@latest"] } } } ``` === ":simple-githubcopilot: GitHub Copilot" Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` (JetBrains: `~/.config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json`): ```json { "servers": { "log10x": { "command": "npx", "args": ["log10x-mcp@latest"] } } } ``` === ":fontawesome-brands-openai: Codex" Add to `~/.codex/config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.log10x] command = "npx" args = ["log10x-mcp@latest"] ``` === ":material-dots-horizontal: Other" Run the server and wire it into any [MCP-compatible client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients){target="_blank"}: ```bash npx log10x-mcp@latest ``` Then ask your AI client **`cost POC on the log10x demo`** to try the live demo, or **`cost POC on our Splunk`** against your own stack. To connect your own data, ask the agent to **sign in to Log10x** (GitHub device flow, no key to paste) or set `LOG10X_API_KEY`. Per-client config locations, credentials, and tool-discovery tips: [MCP Server install](../apps/mcp/install.md). --- ## :material-cog-outline: Engine The 10x engine is the runtime every app runs on. Install it directly with a container image, a single-line script, or an OS package below; the [apps](../apps/) also bundle it through their Helm charts. No licence is needed to evaluate: with none configured, the engine runs the full product on its built-in 30-day evaluation licence (10 nodes, air-gapped). A production licence (see [licensing](../manage/license.md)) is passed as `TENX_LICENSE_FILE` (a mounted file) or `TENX_LICENSE_KEY` (the JWT inline). ### :octicons-stack-24: Container Deployment | Target | Installer | Flavors ([:material-ice-cream:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/ "10x Binary Distribution")) | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | :simple-kubernetes: Kubernetes | [Helm Charts](https://doc.log10x.com/apps/) | [:material-flash-outline:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime "Runtime: single-artifact native binary, small footprint and fast start, fixed extension set") [:material-cogs:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#compiler "Compiler: JVM distribution that generates symbol libraries and loads extensions at launch") | | :simple-docker: Docker | [Docker Image](https://doc.log10x.com/install/docker/) | [:material-cogs:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#compiler "Compiler: JVM distribution that generates symbol libraries and loads extensions at launch") | ### :material-console: Single Line Installer | Target | Installer | Flavors ([:material-ice-cream:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/ "10x Binary Distribution")) | |-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | :simple-linux: Linux (most distros) | [Single line script](https://doc.log10x.com/install/singleline/) | [:material-flash-outline:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime "Runtime: single-artifact native binary, small footprint and fast start, fixed extension set") [:material-cogs:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#compiler "Compiler: JVM distribution that generates symbol libraries and loads extensions at launch") [:material-coffee:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime-jvm "Runtime (JVM): the run-only build packaged with a bundled JRE, the only runtime available on Windows") | | :simple-macos: macOS | [Homebrew](https://doc.log10x.com/install/macos/) (`brew install log-10x/tap/log10x`) | [:material-flash-outline:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime "Runtime: single-artifact native binary, small footprint and fast start, fixed extension set") | | :material-microsoft-windows: Windows | [PowerShell script](https://doc.log10x.com/install/win/) (`irm ... \| iex`) | [:material-coffee:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime-jvm "Runtime (JVM): the run-only build packaged with a bundled JRE, the only runtime available on Windows") [:material-cogs:](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#compiler "Compiler: JVM distribution that generates symbol libraries and loads extensions at launch") | Windows has no native [Runtime](https://doc.log10x.com/engine/flavors/#runtime): no `tenx-*-windows-*-native` asset is built.

The Agent scrapes the engine, so no Datadog credential is configured on the engine. --- :material-rocket-launch: **After installing**, ask your AI client for a cost POC and the engine returns your first analysis in 5 minutes.
