Use when adding tracing, structured logging, metrics, or monitoring to a FrontMCP server. Covers zero-config OpenTelemetry distributed tracing across all flows; the this.telemetry API for custom spans, events, and attributes in tools, plugins, agents, and skills; structured JSON logging with trace correlation and configurable sinks (Winston, Pino, stdout); the off-by-default /metrics endpoint (process and framework metrics, Prometheus-compatible); vendor integrations…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# FrontMCP Observability

Router for adding observability to FrontMCP servers. Covers distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), structured JSON logging, per-request log collection, the `this.telemetry` developer API, and vendor integrations.

## When to Use This Skill

### Must Use

- Adding tracing, logging, or monitoring to a FrontMCP server
- Connecting Coralogix, Datadog, Logz.io, Grafana, or any OTLP backend
- Using `this.telemetry` to create custom spans in tools, plugins, or agents
- Setting up structured logging with winston, pino, or NDJSON stdout
- Testing that spans and log entries are created correctly

### Recommended

- Before going to production (see also `frontmcp-production-readiness`)
- When debugging request latency or error rates
- When building plugins that need trace context propagation

### Skip When

- Building a prototype that doesn't need observability yet
- Configuring auth, transport, or throttle (see `frontmcp-config`)
- Setting up the project from scratch (see `frontmcp-setup`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentfront/frontmcp/frontmcp-observability@sha256:db51316961233572

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.3484b44, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
