# Console Get Logs

Console Get Logs retrieves logs from the Unity Editor via the MCP plugin's LogCollector, optionally filtered by log type or time window. Use it to debug and monitor Editor activity.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP/tree/main/Unity-MCP-Plugin/.claude/skills/console-get-logs ~/.claude/skills/console-get-logs
```

## README

# Console / Get Logs

Retrieves Unity Editor logs. Useful for debugging and monitoring Unity Editor activity.

## Inputs

- `maxEntries` (default 100, minimum 1) — caps the size of the returned array.
- `logTypeFilter` — Unity `LogType` filter; `null` returns all severities.
- `includeStackTrace` (default `false`) — include stack-trace strings in each entry.
- `lastMinutes` (default 0) — when non-zero, only logs from the last N minutes are returned.

## How to Call

```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool console-get-logs --input '{
  "maxEntries": 0,
  "logTypeFilter": "string_value",
  "includeStackTrace": false,
  "lastMinutes": 0
}'
```

> For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool console-get-logs --input-file args.json
> ```
>
> Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool console-get-logs --input-file - <<'EOF'
> {"param": "value"}
> EOF
> ```


### Troubleshooting

If `unity-mcp-cli` is not found, either install it globally (`npm install -g unity-mcp-cli`) or use `npx unity-mcp-cli` instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

## Input

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `maxEntries` | `integer` | No | Maximum number of log entries to return. Minimum: 1. Default: 100 |
| `logTypeFilter` | `any` | No | Filter by log type. 'null' means All. |
| `includeStackTrace` | `boolean` | No | Include stack traces in the output. Default: false |
| `lastMinutes` | `integer` | No | Return logs from the last N minutes. If 0, returns all available logs. Default: 0 |
