agtrace 0.5.4

agtrace monitors AI agent sessions in real-time and lets agents query their own execution history via MCP.

• Zero instrumentation — Auto-discovers provider logs
• 100% local — Privacy by design, no cloud dependencies
• Universal timeline — Unified view across all providers

Quick Start

npm install -g @lanegrid/agtrace
cd my-project
agtrace init      # Initialize workspace (one-time setup)
agtrace watch     # Launch live dashboard

MCP: Let Agents Query Their Own History

Connect your AI assistant to search past sessions via Model Context Protocol:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add agtrace -- agtrace mcp serve

Codex (OpenAI):

codex mcp add agtrace -- agtrace mcp serve

Claude Desktop: Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agtrace": {
      "command": "agtrace",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Your agent can now:

• Search past sessions for tool calls and errors
• Retrieve tool calls and results from previous work
• Analyze failure patterns

Example queries:

• "Show me sessions with failures in the last hour"
• "Search for tool calls that modified the database schema"
• "Analyze the most recent session for performance issues"

For detailed setup and examples, see the MCP Integration Guide.

CLI Commands

Debug and inspect agent behavior manually:

agtrace watch              # Live TUI dashboard
agtrace session list       # Browse session history
agtrace lab grep "error"   # Search across sessions

Building with the SDK

Embed agent observability into your own tools (dashboards, IDE plugins, custom analytics).

[dependencies]
agtrace-sdk = "0.5"

use agtrace_sdk::{Client, types::SessionFilter};

let client = Client::connect_default().await?;
let sessions = client.sessions().list(SessionFilter::all())?;
if let Some(summary) = sessions.first() {
    let handle = client.sessions().get(&summary.id)?;
    let session = handle.assemble()?;
    println!("{} turns, {} tokens",
        session.turns.len(),
        session.stats.total_tokens);
}

See SDK Documentation, Examples, and SDK README.
