Decky Toolkit

Logs where you work

  • Show plugin logs streams your plugin’s backend log from ~/homebrew/logs/<plugin>/ into an output channel.
  • Show loader logs streams journalctl -u plugin_loader.

Both are in the Plugin and Loader groups of the Decky sidebar and in the command palette. Build output from a deploy goes to the Decky output channel; a failed build fails the deploy with the compiler’s error line.

From scripts

Section titled “From scripts”

The same logs are available over HTTP with the device token:

Terminal window
curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "http://<deck-ip>:8765/logs/stream?plugin=my-plugin"   # SSE
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "http://<deck-ip>:8765/logs/tail?source=loader&tail=50"

MCP clients can use the read_plugin_log and loader_log tools.
