About LogCarver
LogCarver is an MCP server published by the GitHub account caiderek. Read-only MCP server that finds deleted SQL Server rows from the transaction log (fn_dblog).
It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the NuGet package LogCarver.Mcp at version 0.1.4.
It asks for one secret: LOGCARVER_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
Version 0.1.4 was published on 18 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 4 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
