**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
1052+
```
1053+
1054+
**Server not showing up in Claude**
1055+
1. Check your `desktop_config.json` file syntax
1056+
2. Make sure the path to your project is absolute and not relative
1057+
3. Restart Claude for Desktop completely
1058+
1059+
**Tool calls failing silently**
1060+
1061+
If Claude attempts to use the tools but they fail:
1062+
1063+
1. Check Claude's logs for errors
1064+
2. Verify your server builds and runs without errors
1065+
3. Try restarting Claude for Desktop

This isn't an error - it just means there are no current weather alerts for that state. Try a different state or check during severe weather.
