Overview

What is stdout-mcp-server?

stdout-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that captures and manages stdout logs through a named pipe system. It is designed for developers using Cursor IDE or other MCP clients who need to collect logs from multiple processes, monitor application output in real time, and query/filter/analyze logs through an MCP interface.

How to use stdout-mcp-server?

Install it via npx stdout-mcp-server or configure it as an MCP server in your client (e.g., in Cursor under Settings > MCP Servers; or via JSON config with the command npx stdout-mcp-server). Once running, redirect application output to the named pipe (e.g., your_application > /tmp/stdout_pipe on Unix/MacOS) and use the get-logs MCP tool in your client to retrieve and filter logs.

Key features of stdout-mcp-server

  • Creates and monitors a named pipe for log capture.
  • Real-time log capture and storage.
  • Log filtering and retrieval through the get-logs tool.
  • Configurable log history (default: 100 entries).
  • Cross-platform support (Windows and Unix-based systems).

Use cases of stdout-mcp-server

  • Capturing logs from multiple processes or applications in Cursor IDE.
