🤖 Setting up Claude

If you haven't setup MCP before, first read more about how to install Claude Desktop client & configure an MCP server.

To add paprika-3-mcp to Claude, all you need to do is create another entry in the mcpServers section of your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paprika-3": {
      "command": "paprika-3-mcp",
      "args": [
        "--username",
        "<your paprika 3 username (usually email)>",
        "--password",
        "<your paprika 3 password>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude and you should see the MCP server tools after clicking on the hammerhead icon:

🗂 Miscellaneous

📄 Where can I see the server logs?

The MCP server writes structured logs using Go’s slog with rotation via lumberjack. Log files are automatically created based on your operating system:

Operating SystemLog File Path
macOS~/Library/Logs/paprika-3-mcp/server.log
Linux/var/log/paprika-3-mcp/server.log
Windows%APPDATA%\paprika-3-mcp\server.log
Other / Unknown/tmp/paprika-3-mcp/server.log

💡 Logs are rotated automatically at 100MB, with only 5 backup files kept. Logs are also wiped after 10 days.
