opentelemetry-mcp-server
A unified MCP server for querying OpenTelemetry traces across multiple backends, enabling AI agents to analyze distributed traces for automated debugging and observability.
The OpenTelemetry MCP Server allows users to query and analyze traces from various backends such as Jaeger, Tempo, and Traceloop. It provides specialized support for observability in large language models (LLMs) through OpenLLMetry semantic conventions. Users can leverage AI assistance to find expensive API calls, debug errors, compare model performance, and track token usage directly from their IDE.
