getConnectedApps
Get the connected apps
LABSCO SUMMARY
The logs come to the conversation instead of you going to the logs.
Two tools with one dependency between them: the app list gives you the app that the log read takes. What it changes is where the debugging happens — a stack trace can be read and reasoned about in the place you are already editing, instead of being copied out of a separate debugger window and pasted back. maxLogs is the argument that keeps a chatty app from filling the context with render warnings.
What it is
A two-tool bridge to a React Native app's debugger: the apps connected to Metro, and console logs over the debugger WebSocket.
What you get
- getConnectedApps, listing the apps attached to Metro on a given server port
- readConsoleLogsFromApp, reading a named app's console logs through the debugger WebSocket, bounded by maxLogs
Requirements
A running Metro server with a React Native app connected to it. getConnectedApps takes the Metro port, and readConsoleLogsFromApp takes an app from what it returns.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @twodoorsdev/react-native-debugger-mcp
USE CASES
01
Chasing a bug that only shows up on the device
Find the app attached to Metro, then read its console output where you are already working instead of scrolling the terminal that started the bundler. maxLogs keeps the tail to a size worth reading.
02
Making sure you are reading the build you think you are
With two simulators up, or a second bundler on another port, list what is actually connected at metroServerPort before trusting a log line — the app argument on the read then names one of them explicitly.
2 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
readConsoleLogsFromApp
Reads console logs from a connected React Native app through the debugger WebSocket
