name	console-get-logs
description	Retrieve Unity Editor logs from the MCP plugin's `LogCollector`, optionally filtered by log type or time window. Useful for debugging and monitoring Editor activity.

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

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:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool console-get-logs --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

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.
