Overview

stdout-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to capture and manage stdout logs from various processes, making it easier to debug applications and monitor their output in real-time.

To use stdout-mcp-server, you can redirect your application's output to a named pipe created by the server. This can be done using standard output redirection in your terminal.

  • Named pipe creation for log capture - Real-time monitoring of application output - Log filtering and retrieval through MCP tools - Cross-platform support for Windows and Unix-based systems - Configurable log history (default: 100 entries)
  1. Capturing logs from multiple applications for debugging.
  2. Monitoring application output in real-time for performance analysis.
  3. Analyzing logs with filtering options to identify issues quickly.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stdout-mcp-server-amitdeshmukh": {
      "command": "npx",
