The short version

A .NET console application that monitors Model Context Protocol (MCP) interactions in the Cursor AI editor. This tool helps developers debug and analyze MCP server-client communications by monitoring log files in real-time.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. It follows a client-server architecture where: - MCP Hosts (like Cursor) connect to multiple servers - MCP Clients maintain 1:1 connections with servers - MCP Servers expose specific capabilities through the standardized protocol - Local Data Sources and Remote Services are accessed securely through MCP servers

  • Real-time monitoring of MCP client-server interactions in Cursor:
  • Client creation and connection events
  • Server offering listings and capabilities
  • Protocol errors and warnings
  • Client lifecycle transitions
  • Monitors the Cursor logs directory for new MCP log files

What it needs from you

  • .NET 9.0 SDK or later
