OpenTelemetry Collector MCP

List recent traces from the application. Use this to get an overview of recent requests, find errors, or identify slow operations. Returns a table of traces with their duration, span count, and error count.

Get the detailed span tree for a specific trace. Shows the hierarchy of operations, their timing, and optionally their attributes. Use this to understand the full request flow and identify where time is spent.

Search for specific spans across all traces. Use this to find patterns like slow database queries, failed HTTP calls, or specific operations by name. More targeted than list_traces when looking for specific operation types.

Get an overview of all collected trace data. Shows total traces and spans, list of services, and recent errors. Good starting point to understand what data is available.

Clear all collected traces from memory. Useful for starting fresh between test runs or debugging sessions. Returns count of cleared traces.
