OpenTelemetry MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Query recent traces and identify errors in application execution.

• 2

  Analyze span trees and detect slow or failing operations.

• 3

  Shared access to runtime trace data across multiple sessions.

Description

otel-mcp is an MCP server that collects and stores OpenTelemetry traces in memory, allowing AI agents to query execution data such as recent traces, errors, and span details without manual log inspection. It supports a primary mode running the OTLP receiver and MCP server, and a client mode for proxying calls, enabling multiple AI agents to share trace data. This facilitates debugging and performance analysis by making runtime trace data directly accessible to AI tools.
