MCP Observability with OpenTelemetry

Jul 2, 2025 By Elizabeth Mathew In SigNoz

While many products have seamlessly integrated MCP servers into their systems, these servers are increasingly being labelled as black boxes, opaque components that handle critical tasks but offer little visibility into what's happening under the hood.
