DXT Extended Debugging Solution
The system provides a complete debugging tool chain:
- Detailed logging: server runs automatically generate timestamped logs (with error call stacks)
- Validation Tools: Check the validity of manifest.json configuration using dxt validate
- Simulated installation: Run dxt test to test the installation process in the sandbox.
- Extended Information View: The dxt info command displays the packaged contents and dependencies.
- Environmental isolation testing: Support for containerized testing via the -sandbox parameter
Standard debugging process: 1) check manifest configuration; 2) test MCP service locally; 3) sandbox test after packaging; 4) analyze runtime logs; 5) use dxt verify to check file integrity. It is recommended to keep the debug:true logging level during the development phase.
