Perform Distributed Tracing for your MCP system with OpenTelemetry

2025 has truly been the year of Agentic AI, with MCP (Model Context Protocol) emerging as one of its flashy and most talked-about innovations. 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.

When Will We See the First $1 Billion Company Run by a Single Individual?

It’s only a matter of time. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in 2024 that he thought this could be achieved by the end of 2026. Personally, I feel this is a little optimistic; however, based on the evidence I’ve seen, it won’t be long after that.

Or Midjourney, revolutionizing creative industries with only 40 employees and generating an impressive $500 million.
