MCP Telemetry Overview

This project offers two components: an SDK to instrument MCP servers for emitting live telemetry events during tool execution, and a telemetry MCP server that streams these events to connected clients. It solves the problem of synchronous MCP tool calls lacking visibility by pushing structured progress updates via notifications/progress, avoiding polling and context flooding. Use it when you want to monitor long-running MCP tool jobs live, possibly from different client sessions than the one that started the job.
