概览

What is Server Watch?

Server Watch is a CLI wrapper that wraps any running command, captures its stdout and stderr output, and exposes that output as an MCP server via HTTP/SSE. It is designed for development workflows where you need to view and search server logs, build output, or process output in real time.

How to use Server Watch?

Install globally with npm install -g server-watch-mcp. Then wrap your command, e.g., server-watch-mcp npm run dev. The server starts on port 6280 (or the SERVER_WATCH_MCP_PORT environment variable). Add the MCP server to Claude Code with claude mcp add -s user -t sse server-watch-mcp http://localhost:6280/sse.

Key features of Server Watch

HTTP-based MCP server running as a standalone service
Real-time capture of stdout and stderr from any command
Circular in-memory buffer storing the last 5000 log entries
Two MCP tools: get_logs and search_logs
get_logs supports optional filtering by stream type
search_logs supports case-insensitive substring matching

Use cases of Server Watch

Monitor a local development server (e.g., server-watch-mcp next dev)
Watch a build process in watch mode (e.g., server-watch-mcp npm run build:watch)
View logs from any command (e.g., server-watch-mcp python app.py)
Ask Claude to search for errors or specific output without leaving the editor

FAQ from Server Watch

What port does Server Watch use?

The default port is 6280. You can override it by setting the SERVER_WATCH_MCP_PORT environment variable.

How many log entries are kept?

The server maintains a circular buffer of the last 5000 log entries in memory.

Can I filter or search logs?

Yes. The get_logs tool can filter by stream type (stdout/stderr). The search_logs tool performs case‑insensitive substring matching across all logs.
