## mcp-log-proxy

`mcp-log-proxy` can be used to see the messages to and from a MCP client and a MCP server using a Web interface.

Currently, it only supports the STDIO interface.

## install

    go install github.com/emicklei/mcp-log-proxy@latest

### usage

`mcp-log-proxy` requires one argument `-command` that contains the full command line for starting the MCP server.

For example, to proxy traffic to the `melrose-mcp` server, the full command is:

    mcp-log-proxy -command melrose-mcp

This example assumes that both tools are available on your execution PATH.

Once the proxy is started, messages can be viewed on `http:/localhost:5656`.

#### optional flags

You can override the Web page title using the `title` flag:

    mcp-log-proxy -command melrose-mcp -title "Melrōse (proxy)"   

You can override the HTTP port(default 5656) using the `port` flag:

    mcp-log-proxy -command melrose-mcp -port 9999

You can set override the log file location of the proxy that captures errors in the proxy itself.

    mcp-log-proxy -command melrose-mcp -log /your/logs/mcp-log-proxy.log

You can set the browser page title using the `title` flag:

    mcp-log-proxy -command melrose-mcp -title "Melrose MCP proxy"

### Claude examples

This example proxies the use of the `melrose-mcp` server.
