How to use it
Run a test application against a local read-only MCP tool. Verify that the tool request appears in the trace and that its error case is easy to find.
Run pip install openinference-instrumentation-mcp in the Python MCP application and configure a local trace receiver. Review captured tool arguments before enabling telemetry on live requests.
