Opentelemetry MCP Server — AI skill for Claude Code

AI community

Unified MCP server for querying OpenTelemetry traces across multiple backends (Jaeger, Tempo, Traceloop, etc.), enabling AI agents to analyze distributed traces for automated debugging and observabili.

**Query and analyze LLM traces with AI assistance.** Ask Claude to find expensive API calls, debug errors, compare model performance, or track token usage—all from your IDE.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants to OpenTelemetry trace backends (Jaeger, Tempo, Traceloop), with specialized support for LLM observability through OpenLLMetry semantic conventions.

Quick Start

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

// 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):

{
  "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"_
