Capturing Console Logs

Providing console logs helps us pinpoint exactly what's going wrong with your installation, network, or MCP setup. This guide walks you through capturing those logs in your IDE.

Opening Developer Tools

  1. Open the Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac)
  2. Search for Developer Tools: Type Developer: Open Webview Developer Tools and select it

Capturing the Error

Once you have the Developer Tools console open:

  1. Clear previous logs: Click the "Clear Console" button (🚫 icon at the top of the Console panel) to remove old messages
  2. Reproduce the issue: Perform the action that was causing problems
  3. Check for errors: Look at the Console tab for error messages (usually shown in red). If you suspect connection issues, also check the Network tab
  4. Copy the logs: Right-click in the console and select "Save as..." or copy the relevant error messages
