+ ** Getting logs from Claude for Desktop**
1043
+ Claude.app logging related to MCP is written to log files in ` ~/Library/Logs/Claude ` :
1044
+
1045
+ - ` mcp.log ` will contain general logging about MCP connections and connection failures.
1046
+ - Files named ` mcp-server-SERVERNAME.log ` will contain error (stderr) logging from the named server.
1047
+
1048
+ You can run the following command to list recent logs and follow along with any new ones:
1049
+ ``` bash
1050
+ # Check Claude's logs for errors
1051
+ tail -n 20 -f ~ /Library/Logs/Claude/mcp* .log

1056
+ 2 . Make sure the path to your project is absolute and not relative
1057

+ 1 . Check Claude's logs for errors
1064
+ 2 . Verify your server builds and runs without errors
