Explore CircleCI projects from your IDE with AI assistance
CircleCI gives you deep visibility into your builds, workflows, and tests, but jumping between browser tabs, copying project URLs, or re-authenticating across tools can slow things down. What if your IDE could just show you the projects you’re working on and let you act on them directly? This post shows how to use the list_followed_projects tool in the CircleCI MCP server to browse and interact with your CircleCI projects by chatting with an AI assistant inside your IDE.

Understanding Your App's Health With Core Mobile Vitals
Mobile apps are a little different from services run on servers. You build your mobile app, you ship it off to the world, and then it gets run by the end user on their own machine. If your app is running poorly on some percentage of users’ devices, you may never know. That’s where observability comes in. There are certain important metrics that every mobile app has in common.
