MCP ServerFreeLightweight telemetry SDK for MCP servers and web applications. Captures HTTP requests, MCP tool invocations, business events, and UI interactions with built-in payload sanitization.
Capabilities8 decomposed
mcp tool invocation telemetry capture
Medium confidenceAutomatically intercepts and logs MCP tool calls with full context including tool name, arguments, execution time, and response payloads. Integrates at the MCP server protocol layer to capture invocations before they reach business logic, enabling observability without code instrumentation in tool handlers.
Operates at the MCP protocol layer rather than wrapping individual tool functions, capturing invocations uniformly across all tools without per-tool instrumentation boilerplate
Lighter-weight than generic APM solutions because it understands MCP semantics natively, avoiding the overhead of HTTP-level tracing for tool calls
http request/response telemetry with automatic payload sanitization
Medium confidenceCaptures inbound and outbound HTTP traffic with configurable payload sanitization rules that automatically redact sensitive fields (API keys, tokens, PII) before logging. Uses pattern-matching and field-name heuristics to identify and mask sensitive data without requiring manual annotation of every endpoint.
Implements automatic field-name heuristics (e.g., 'password', 'token', 'apiKey') combined with pattern matching to sanitize payloads without requiring explicit schema definitions for every endpoint
More practical than manual annotation approaches because it catches common sensitive fields automatically; more flexible than fixed-schema solutions because rules can be customized per application
business event tracking with structured schema
Medium confidenceProvides a structured event emission API that allows developers to log domain-specific business events (e.g., 'user_signup', 'model_inference_completed') with typed metadata. Events are validated against optional schemas and enriched with automatic context (timestamps, user IDs, request IDs) before transmission to telemetry backends.
Combines structured schema validation with automatic context enrichment (timestamps, request IDs, user context), reducing boilerplate while maintaining data quality for analytics
Lighter than full analytics platforms like Segment because it's SDK-based and doesn't require external infrastructure; more structured than raw logging because it enforces schema consistency
ui interaction event capture
Medium confidenceCaptures user interactions in web applications (clicks, form submissions, navigation events) and emits them as structured telemetry events. Integrates with DOM event listeners and browser APIs to automatically track user behavior without requiring manual instrumentation of every interactive element.
Automatically captures DOM events without requiring manual instrumentation of each element, using event delegation and filtering to reduce noise while maintaining observability
More lightweight than full session replay tools because it captures structured events rather than video; more practical than manual logging because it uses DOM event bubbling to instrument interactions automatically
telemetry backend abstraction with multi-provider support
Medium confidenceProvides a pluggable backend interface that allows telemetry events to be routed to multiple destinations (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, custom HTTP endpoints, local file storage) without changing application code. Implements a provider registry pattern where backends are registered at initialization and events are fanned out to all active providers.
Uses a provider registry pattern that allows backends to be registered and unregistered at runtime, enabling dynamic telemetry routing without application restarts
More flexible than single-backend solutions because it supports multi-destination routing; simpler than building custom event routing because the SDK handles provider lifecycle and event distribution
request context propagation and correlation
Medium confidenceAutomatically generates and propagates correlation IDs (trace IDs, request IDs) across MCP invocations, HTTP requests, and business events to enable end-to-end tracing. Uses async context (AsyncLocalStorage in Node.js) to maintain context across asynchronous boundaries without requiring explicit parameter passing.
Uses AsyncLocalStorage to maintain context across async boundaries automatically, eliminating the need to manually thread correlation IDs through function parameters
Simpler than manual context propagation because it leverages Node.js async context primitives; more practical than external tracing systems because it works within a single process without requiring distributed tracing infrastructure
performance metrics collection and aggregation
Medium confidenceAutomatically collects timing metrics for MCP tool invocations, HTTP requests, and custom code blocks, then aggregates them into percentiles, averages, and histograms. Metrics are computed in-process and included in telemetry events, enabling performance analysis without external metrics infrastructure.
Computes percentile metrics in-process using reservoir sampling, avoiding the need for external metrics backends while maintaining memory efficiency
Lighter than Prometheus or Grafana because it doesn't require external infrastructure; more practical than manual timing because it automatically instruments common operations (HTTP, MCP tools)
error and exception tracking with stack trace capture
Medium confidenceAutomatically captures uncaught exceptions and errors, including full stack traces, error context, and breadcrumb trails of preceding events. Integrates with global error handlers and promise rejection handlers to ensure errors are logged even if not explicitly caught by application code.
Integrates with global error handlers and promise rejection handlers to capture errors without requiring explicit instrumentation, while maintaining breadcrumb trails for debugging context
More comprehensive than basic logging because it captures stack traces and event context automatically; simpler than Sentry because it's SDK-based and doesn't require external error tracking infrastructure

Known Limitations
- ⚠Requires MCP server integration — cannot retroactively instrument existing servers without code changes
- ⚠Payload sanitization rules must be configured per tool to avoid logging sensitive data
- ⚠No built-in correlation across multiple MCP servers without external trace ID propagation
- ⚠Sanitization rules are heuristic-based and may miss domain-specific sensitive fields
- ⚠Custom sanitization logic requires manual configuration per application
- ⚠No built-in support for binary or streaming request bodies — only JSON/text
