Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Dynatrace
Use this when working with OpenTelemetry, telemetry, observability, traces, spans, metrics, logs, OTLP, semantic conventions, or instrumentation. Triggers on questions like "what attributes should I use", "how do I configure the collector", "what's the semconv for X".
A package to auto instrument the Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK with OpenTelemetry
OpenTelemetry instrumentation conventions. Use when instrumenting code with spans, setting up tracing, or writing trace tests.
OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the MCP TypeScript SDK v2 (protocol revision 2026-07-28): W3C Trace Context propagation through params._meta and spans that follow the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for MCP.
