Google Cloud services with audit logs

Most Google Cloud services write Cloud Audit Logs to record administrative activities and data access across your Google Cloud resources. You can use the table in this document to find the audit logging reference documentation and API service name for each supported Google Cloud service.

Google Cloud MCP servers write Data Access audit logs that are service-specific and use the format SERVICE_NAME.googleapis.com/mcp. You can enable these Data Access logs by turning on audit logging for mcp.googleapis.com in the IAM AuditConfig object. For more information about audit logging for Google Cloud MCP servers, see Google Cloud MCP servers audit logging.

For an overview of audit logs and the different audit log types, see Cloud Audit Logs overview.
