Follow this guide to set up the Aspire MCP server for agent access to logs and metrics.

What is Aspire MCP?

Aspire MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes Aspire's observability data to AI agents:

Console logs: Real-time stdout/stderr from all services
Structured logs: Filterable logs with correlation IDs
Metrics: CPU, memory, HTTP request metrics
Traces: Distributed tracing across services

Setup Steps

// turbo

Initialize Aspire MCP
```
cd /home/avazalma/projects/BookStore && aspire mcp init
```
- Creates MCP configuration in the project
- Sets up connection between Aspire and MCP clients
Verify MCP Configuration
- Check that MCP server config was created
- Aspire MCP integrates with Claude and other MCP-compatible agents

Using Aspire MCP

Once configured, the MCP server provides tools for:

Querying logs: Filter by service, log level, time range
Viewing metrics: Get current metric values and trends
Tracing requests: Follow requests across services via correlation IDs
Monitoring health: Check service status and health endpoints

Example Usage

After setup, agents can:

Query logs: "Show me errors from the API service in the last 5 minutes"
Check metrics: "What's the current memory usage of the web frontend?"
Debug issues: "Find all logs with correlation ID xyz-123"
