We must integrate the MCP tracing functionality from the openinference-instrumentation-mcp repository into Langsmith. This will help propagate MCP trace context across the application.

You can find the code and setup details for the MCP tracing here:
openinference-instrumentation-mcp repository

Any updates on when this could be implemented in Langsmith? Or maybe you are looking into MCP tracing already on your own ?

Hi @mindful-time,

You can use our OpenTelemetry integration to trace openinference trace data.

Thanks so i just use the Tracing using the Arize SDK and use that correct

Yup, that should do it! LMK if you run into any issues. I haven't tried tracing the mcp sdk specifically.

Thank you! We have a bunch of MCPs that we are trying to use with Langgraph, and it’s frustrating not knowing what is happening in Langsmith. I will let you know once I set it up.
