Overview

Mcp Agent Trace Inspector is a Model Context Protocol server that provides step-by-step observability for MCP agent workflows. It integrates directly with AI assistants, exposing tracing and inspection capabilities as tools that models can invoke to monitor and understand agent execution in real time.

The server runs locally via the npm package mcp-agent-trace-inspector, communicating over stdio. Installation is straightforward with npx -y mcp-agent-trace-inspector. You'll need to provide YOUR_API_KEY via environment variables for authentication.
