Agentlens Overview

The agentkitai/agentlens MCP server connects MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor to AgentLens for recording tool calls, sessions, and agent events. AgentLens stores events in an append-only audit log, linking each record with a SHA-256 hash so the chain can be verified after collection. The broader platform also accepts OpenTelemetry GenAI traces and provides a queryable API and web dashboard. Reach for it when an MCP-based agent needs tamper-evident activity records or audit-oriented observability.
