Overview

This MCP server enables AI agents to query and analyze traces from OpenTelemetry-compatible backends such as Jaeger, Tempo, Traceloop, and others. It provides specialized tools for LLM observability using OpenLLMetry semantic conventions, allowing inspection of trace errors, token usage, model performance, and slow or expensive operations. Use it to integrate trace data and LLM metrics into AI-assisted debugging and monitoring workflows.

Use cases

β€’Search traces with advanced filters
β€’Retrieve complete trace details
β€’Find traces containing errors
β€’Analyze LLM token usage and model performance
β€’List available services and LLM models

Key features

β€’Supports multiple OpenTelemetry backends (Jaeger, Tempo, Traceloop, etc.)
β€’Search traces and spans with filtering
β€’Aggregate LLM token usage metrics
β€’Discover and analyze LLM models in use
β€’Find slow or expensive LLM-related traces

Quick Start

No installation required! Configure your client to run the server directly from PyPI:

json
// Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": ["run", "opentelemetry-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "jaeger",
        "BACKEND_URL": "http://localhost:16686"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or use uvx (alternative):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["opentelemetry-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "jaeger",
        "BACKEND_URL": "http://localhost:16686"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it! Ask Claude: "Show me traces with errors from the last hour"


Installation

For End Users (Recommended)

bash
# Run without installing (recommended)
pipx run opentelemetry-mcp --backend jaeger --url http://localhost:16686

# Or with uvx
uvx opentelemetry-mcp --backend jaeger --url http://localhost:16686

This approach:

  • βœ… Always uses the latest version
  • βœ… No global installation needed
  • βœ… Isolated environment automatically
  • βœ… Works on all platforms

Per Client Integration

Claude Desktop

Configure the MCP server in your Claude Desktop config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Using pipx (recommended):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": ["run", "opentelemetry-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "jaeger",
        "BACKEND_URL": "http://localhost:16686"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using uvx (alternative):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["opentelemetry-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "jaeger",
        "BACKEND_URL": "http://localhost:16686"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Traceloop backend:

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": ["run", "opentelemetry-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "traceloop",
        "BACKEND_URL": "https://api.traceloop.com",
        "BACKEND_API_KEY": "your_traceloop_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
Using the repository instead of pipx?

If you're developing locally with the cloned repository, use one of these configurations:

Option 1: Wrapper script (easy backend switching)

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/opentelemetry-mcp-server/start_locally.sh"
    }
  }
}

Option 2: UV directly (for multiple backends)

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentelemetry-mcp-jaeger": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/opentelemetry-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "opentelemetry-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BACKEND_TYPE": "jaeger",
        "BACKEND_URL": "http://localhost:16686"
      }
    }
  }
}
Claude Code

Claude Code works with MCP servers configured in your Claude Desktop config. Once configured above, you can use the server with Claude Code CLI:

bash
# Verify the server is available
claude-code mcp list

# Use Claude Code with access to your OpenTelemetry traces
claude-code "Show me traces with errors from the last hour"
