MCP Server: Performance, Logs, and More

AppSignal MCP graduates from beta to preview with this release.

The AppSignal MCP server now exposes 24 tools across seven areas — up from 18 — with two new capability areas and expanded write access throughout.

What's new:

  • Performance: Ask your agent which actions are slowest, pull traces for a specific action, inspect full span trees, and drill into individual spans. Works with both sample-based performance data and OpenTelemetry traces.
  • Logging: Search log lines using AppSignal's expression syntax, and set up log processing rules directly from your editor: create filters, trigger alerts, extract metrics from log lines, and control execution order.
  • Anomaly triggers: In addition to listing triggers and alerts, you can now create, update, and archive anomaly detection triggers without leaving your editor.
  • OAuth support: The MCP server now supports OAuth authentication, which unlocks GitHub Copilot CLI support.

Token permissions now include the performance and logging toolsets alongside app, exceptions, metrics, anomalies, and dashboards.

For setup instructions and the full tool reference, see the MCP documentation. Read the full blog post for the complete breakdown.
