Overview

An MCP server that connects AI assistants to Jaeger, the open-source distributed tracing system. It allows searching traces, inspecting individual spans, and mapping service dependencies via the Model Context Protocol.

Best for

Best for
Developers who want to query Jaeger traces using AI assistants or MCP-enabled tools

Use cases

• Query Jaeger for traces matching specific service or operation names
• Inspect span details including tags, logs, and timing information
• Visualize service dependency graphs from trace data
