tracenexus 0.1.10

A platform-agnostic MCP server for LLM observability

TraceNexus

WORK IN PROGRESS

This project is under active development and should be considered experimental.

TraceNexus is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for LLM observability traces. It currently supports LangSmith and Langfuse and runs both MCP transports:

• streamable-http for clients like Cursor
• sse

Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+

2. Install

pip install --upgrade tracenexus

3. Configure

Create a .env file where you run tracenexus.

If you are running from a cloned repo, start with:

cp .env.example .env

Example .env:

# LangSmith configuration (comma-separated)
LANGSMITH_API_KEYS="prod-api-key,dev-api-key"
LANGSMITH_NAMES="prod,dev"

# Langfuse configuration (comma-separated)
LANGFUSE_NAMES="dev,prod,staging,nightly,services"
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEYS="pk_dev,pk_prod,pk_staging,pk_nightly,pk_services"
LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEYS="sk_dev,sk_prod,sk_staging,sk_nightly,sk_services"
LANGFUSE_HOSTS="https://langfuse.services.attackiq.net,https://langfuse.services.attackiq.net,https://langfuse.services.attackiq.net,https://langfuse.services.attackiq.net,https://langfuse.services.attackiq.net"

Rules:

• Values are positional. Item N in each list must describe the same project.
• If multiple projects share one host, repeat that host value.
• Restart tracenexus after .env changes.

4. Run

tracenexus

Default endpoints:

• HTTP: http://localhost:52734/mcp
• SSE: http://localhost:52735/sse

5. Connect Your MCP Client

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add tracenexus --transport streamable-http --url http://localhost:52734/mcp

For Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tracenexus": {
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:52734/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tool Naming

TraceNexus exposes tools in this format:

• langsmith_<name>_get_trace
• langfuse_<name>_get_trace

If a configured name contains dashes, they become underscores in tool names.

Verify Trace Access

If you are running from source, you can verify known Langfuse traces with:

make validate-traces

This checks the mappings in validation/langfuse_trace_ids.json against your configured keys.

Troubleshooting

• 404 ... not found within authorized project: Key is valid, but mapped to the wrong project for that trace ID.
• 401 ... invalid credentials: Key and host do not belong together.
• Tool names not updated after changing .env: Restart tracenexus.
