Usage

Once the MCP server is running, ask your IDE or LLM questions about tracing or general Arize support like...

• Instrument this app using Arize
• Can you use manual instrumentation so that I have more control over my traces?
• How can I redact sensitive information from my spans?
• Use decorators to have more control over the span attributes
• Can you make sure the context of this trace is propagated across these tool calls?
• Where can I find my Arize keys?

Troubleshooting

• Make sure the JSON configs are perfectly formatted.

• Clear the uv cache with uv cache clean to force accessing the latest version.

• Make sure your uv command is pointing to the right location by running which uv, or simply use the full path.

• The server should start in the terminal just by running:

  uvx arize-tracing-assistant@latest
  

• Use the Anthropic MCP inspector by running:

  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx arize-tracing-assistant@latest
