Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Tracehub MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BACKEND_TYPE (Which observability backend to query.), BACKEND_URL (Backend API endpoint, e.g. http://localhost:16686 for Jaeger or https://api.datadoghq.com for Datadog.), BACKEND_API_KEY (API key or auth token. Required for Traceloop, Datadog, and Sentry; not used by Jaeger or Tempo.), BACKEND_APP_KEY (Datadog Application key, required in addition to BACKEND_API_KEY for the Datadog backend only.), BACKEND_TEMPO_INSTANCE_ID (Grafana Cloud stack/instance ID, used with BACKEND_API_KEY for Basic Auth (Tempo backend only, required for Grafana Cloud-hosted Tempo, not needed for self-hosted Tempo).), BACKEND_SENTRY_ORG (Sentry organization slug, required for the Sentry backend only.), BACKEND_SENTRY_PROJECT (Sentry project slug, optional for the Sentry backend - narrows queries to one project.), BACKEND_ENVIRONMENTS (Comma-separated environments for the Traceloop backend only.), BACKEND_TIMEOUT (Request timeout in seconds.), LOG_LEVEL (Logging level.), MAX_TRACES_PER_QUERY (Maximum traces validated per query (1-1000).), SLOW_REQUEST_THRESHOLD_MS (Logs a WARNING for any backend request slower than this, independent of LOG_LEVEL. Unset disables slow-request logging.), OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT (Enables opt-in OTel self-instrumentation of tool calls when set. Unset means zero overhead - no TracerProvider is configured and no middleware is registered.), OTEL_SERVICE_NAME (Service name reported in self-instrumentation spans, only used when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set.), MCP_INCLUDE_ARGS_IN_SPANS (Include tool call arguments/results as OTel span attributes when self-instrumentation is enabled. Off by default since they may contain sensitive data.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Tracehub MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Tracehub MCP?
Tracehub MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package tracehub-mcp.
How do I connect Tracehub MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls tracehub-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Tracehub MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
