Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Where apps write their log files on Windows, macOS and Linux, as exact copyable paths.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

Open Settings → Connectors
Press Add custom connector
Paste the address below and press Add
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

https://wherethemlogs.app/api/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http log-locations https://wherethemlogs.app/api/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "log-locations": {
      "url": "https://wherethemlogs.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "log-locations": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://wherethemlogs.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
Paste the address below, give it a name and save
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Where Them Logs safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 32 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

wherethemlogs.app

A searchable index of application log file locations across Windows, macOS and Linux - every path qualified by installer type and architecture, printed exactly as the machine writes it.

Built for the people who need the path mid-incident: IT and endpoint administrators, application packagers, and anyone else who has lost twenty minutes to a forum thread of unknown vintage.

Layout

app/                  pages, route handlers, proxy - Next.js 16

components/ lib/ UI, shared model, server-only data access infra/ Azure resources - Bicep scripts/ seed data and the seeder docs/ architecture, API reference, deployment, MCP, answer engines

One application, one image. Pages are server-rendered from Cosmos; route handlers under app/api/ serve the browser and the admin portal from the same process.

Run it

npm install

LOCAL_ADMIN_BYPASS=true \ COSMOS_ENDPOINT=https:// .documents.azure.com:443/ \ COSMOS_DATABASE=wtla \ npm run dev # http://localhost:3777

Needs az login with an account that holds the Cosmos data-plane role. Full setup is in docs/DEPLOYMENT.md.

What's here

Route	What it does
`/`	Title sign, search field with live type-ahead, recent additions, recent searches, platform filter
`/search`	Full results, filterable by platform, installer, architecture and scope
`/privacy`	Privacy and cookie notice
`/admin`	Admin portal - vendors, apps and log paths, with JSON import and export at `/admin/import`. Entra sign-in, `admin` role. API in docs/API.md.

Keyboard: / focuses the search field from anywhere, arrows walk the type-ahead, Enter commits to the full results, Shift+Enter copies the highlighted result's first path.

The catalogue

Vendor > App > LogPath. One vendor has many apps; one app has many log paths, embedded on the app document. Every vendor carries an icon and every app may override it - App.iconUrl: null means *inherit the vendor's*, resolved on read.

Currently seed data: 24 vendors, 33 apps, 86 log paths in scripts/seed-data.json, all real and verifiable, labelled as a demonstration set in the footer and on the privacy page.

npm run seed -- --endpoint https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/

Paths are stored byte for byte - %LOCALAPPDATA%, ~/Library/Logs, $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, because the machine being fixed is not this one.

Contributing an entry

Open an issue. One issue per application, with the platform and installer type in the title, and say how you verified the path.

Issues are public: do not paste real hostnames, usernames, tenant identifiers or customer names into one.

Before this goes live

Register the Entra ID app, add the admin app role, and set the AUTH_CLIENT_ID / AUTH_TENANT_ID repository variables. Until then /admin has nowhere to send you. docs/DEPLOYMENT.md § 7.
Choose the analytics provider - Google Analytics 4, loaded only after Accept (components/Consent.tsx).
Replace the seed catalogue with the real index - /admin/import takes the research JSON.
Build the admin UI on top of the CRUD API.
Make the repo public - requests and corrections are issues here, from the forms in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.

Infrastructure

Azure Container Apps runs the image; Cosmos DB (serverless) and Blob Storage sit behind it, both reached by managed identity - no keys anywhere. Deploys are a new revision, so rolling back is a traffic shift rather than a rebuild.

Around $20/month. Why each piece, and what it costs, is in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

Design

DESIGN.md records the visual system as built. PRODUCT.md records product truth. The direction contract for the site's surfaces lives in .impeccable/surfaces/.

Two rules worth knowing before you touch the CSS:

Flat print, no exceptions. No gradients, no shadows, no floating cards. Structure is stencilled rules and hazard tape. Signal cyan on near-black must not drift into neon glow.
Two voices. Archivo for anything human, Spline Sans Mono for anything machine-true - paths, codes, counts, filter values. Nothing else.
