Finding Cursor Logs

Quick reference for locating Cursor logs and debugging issues.

Main Log Location

Cursor stores logs in ~/.config/Cursor/logs/ with timestamped directories:

code
~/.config/Cursor/logs/{YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS}/window{N}/exthost/{extension-id}/

Finding Logs

Most Recent Logs

bash
# Find most recent log directory
ls -lt ~/.config/Cursor/logs/ | head -5

# Find most recent MCP logs
ls -lt ~/.config/Cursor/logs/*/window*/exthost/anysphere.cursor-mcp/ | head -10

MCP Logs

MCP logs follow the pattern: MCP {server-name}.log

bash
# Find specific MCP server log (e.g., postgres)
find ~/.config/Cursor/logs -name "*MCP*postgres*.log" | sort -r | head -1

# Find all MCP logs
find ~/.config/Cursor/logs -path "*/anysphere.cursor-mcp/*.log"

Extension Logs

bash
# Find logs for a specific extension
find ~/.config/Cursor/logs -path "*/{extension-id}/*.log"

# Example: Prisma extension logs
find ~/.config/Cursor/logs -path "*/prisma.prisma*/*.log"

MCP Server Directories

MCP server configurations and tool definitions are in:

code
~/.cursor/projects/{project-path}/mcps/{server-name}/

Example:

code
~/.cursor/projects/home-flesler-Code-vetbrain/mcps/project-0-vetbrain-postgres/

Quick Debugging Commands

bash
# View most recent MCP log
tail -f $(ls -t ~/.config/Cursor/logs/*/window*/exthost/anysphere.cursor-mcp/*.log | head -1)

# Search for errors in MCP logs
grep -i error ~/.config/Cursor/logs/*/window*/exthost/anysphere.cursor-mcp/*.log

# Find logs containing specific text
grep -r "postgres" ~/.config/Cursor/logs/*/window*/exthost/anysphere.cursor-mcp/

# Check MCP server status from logs
grep -i "successfully connected\|error\|failed" ~/.config/Cursor/logs/*/window*/exthost/anysphere.cursor-mcp/MCP\ project-0-vetbrain-postgres.log | tail -20

Common Log Types

  • •MCP Logs: anysphere.cursor-mcp/MCP {server-name}.log
  • •Extension Logs: {extension-id}/{Extension Name}.log
  • •Agent Logs: anysphere.cursor-agent-exec/Cursor Agent Exec.log
  • •Retrieval Logs: anysphere.cursor-retrieval/Cursor {Service}.log

Notes

  • •Cursor runs as an AppImage, so logs follow XDG config standards
  • •Log directories are timestamped: YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS format
  • •Multiple windows create separate log directories (window1, window2, etc.)
  • •MCP servers log to anysphere.cursor-mcp/ directory
  • •Logs are rotated/archived over time, check timestamps for most recent
