What to Measure in a Server

Track latency, errors, and tool usage.

Why Measure at All?

Once your MCP server runs in the wild, you cannot fix what you cannot see. Observability turns guesswork into clear signals about how it behaves. 🔍

Observability rests on three signals: logs, metrics, and traces. Today you focus on metrics, the numbers that summarize health at a glance.
