This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Langfuse, allowing AI agents to query Langfuse trace data for better debugging and observability.

Features

Integration with Langfuse for trace and observation data
Tool suite for AI agents to query trace data
Exception and error tracking capabilities
Session and user activity monitoring

Available Tools

The MCP server provides the following tools for AI agents:

fetch_traces - Find traces based on criteria like user ID, session ID, etc.
fetch_trace - Get a specific trace by ID
fetch_observations - Get observations filtered by type
fetch_observation - Get a specific observation by ID
fetch_sessions - List sessions in the current project
get_session_details - Get detailed information about a session
get_user_sessions - Get all sessions for a user
find_exceptions - Find exceptions and errors in traces
find_exceptions_in_file - Find exceptions in a specific file
get_exception_details - Get detailed information about an exception
get_error_count - Get the count of errors
get_data_schema - Get schema information for the data structures

Setup

Install `uv`

First, make sure uv is installed. For installation instructions, see the uv installation docs.

If you already have an older version of uv installed, you might need to update it with uv self update.

Installation

uv pip install langfuse-mcp

Obtain Langfuse credentials

You'll need your Langfuse credentials:

Public key
Secret key
Host URL (usually https://cloud.langfuse.com or your self-hosted URL)

Running the Server

Run the server using uvx:

uvx langfuse-mcp --public-key YOUR_KEY --secret-key YOUR_SECRET --host https://cloud.langfuse.com

Configuration with MCP clients

Configure for Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "langfuse": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["langfuse-mcp", "--public-key", "YOUR_KEY", "--secret-key", "YOUR_SECRET", "--host", "https://cloud.langfuse.com"]
    }
  }
}

Configure for Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude settings:

{
  "command": ["uvx"],
  "args": ["langfuse-mcp"],
  "type": "stdio",
  "env": {
    "LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY": "YOUR_KEY",
    "LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY": "YOUR_SECRET",
    "LANGFUSE_HOST": "https://cloud.langfuse.com"
  }
}

Output Modes

Each tool supports different output modes to control the level of detail in responses:

compact (default): Returns a summary with large values truncated
full_json_string: Returns the complete data as a JSON string
full_json_file: Saves the complete data to a file and returns a summary with file information

Development

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/langfuse-mcp.git
cd langfuse-mcp

Create a virtual environment and install dependencies

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

Set up environment variables

export LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key"
export LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY="your-public-key"
export LANGFUSE_HOST="https://cloud.langfuse.com"  # Or your self-hosted URL

Testing

To run the demo client:

uv run examples/langfuse_client_demo.py --public-key YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY --secret-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Or use the convenience wrapper:

uv run run_mcp.py

Version Management

This project uses dynamic versioning based on Git tags:

The version is automatically determined from git tags using uv-dynamic-versioning
To create a new release:
- Tag your commit with git tag v0.1.2 (following semantic versioning)
- Push the tag with git push --tags
- Create a GitHub release from the tag
The GitHub workflow will automatically build and publish the package with the correct version to PyPI

For a detailed history of changes, please see the CHANGELOG.md file.

Cache Management

We use the cachetools library to implement efficient caching with proper size limits:

Uses cachetools.LRUCache for better reliability
Configurable cache size via the CACHE_SIZE constant
Automatically evicts the least recently used items when caches exceed their size limits
