What is the Langfuse (LLM Tracing & Evals) MCP Server?
Connect your Langfuse account to any AI agent and take full control of your LLM observability, prompt management, and quality evaluation through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Trace Orchestration — List and retrieve detailed traces of LLM API sessions, exposing latencies, token counts, and exact chained payloads directly from your agent
- Prompt Vault Access — Query actively managed prompt templates and versions to inspect system instructions and expected input variables
- Observation Analysis — Deep-dive into individual spans, events, and generations within a trace to pinpoint failures or performance bottlenecks securely
- Evaluation & Scoring — Attach structured human feedback or automated evaluation metrics to specific traces to monitor model grounding and accuracy
- Usage Metrics — Generate aggregated daily reports on USD costs and average latency to track your AI infrastructure spending in real-time
- Session Monitoring — Extract correlated user sessions to understand multi-turn interaction boundaries and improve long-term agentic workflows
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Langfuse API URL, Public Key, and Secret Key
3. Start monitoring your LLM application from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- LLM Engineers — debug complex AI chains and measure exact token latencies through natural conversation without manual dashboard searching
- Product Owners — monitor daily AI costs and user satisfaction scores across multiple production environments
- Data Scientists — manage prompt templates and audit evaluation metrics to improve model response quality and grounding efficiently

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Langfuse (LLM Tracing & Evals) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the exact system instruction for a specific prompt version?
Yes. Use the list_prompts tool to browse your managed templates. Your agent can retrieve the exact text and variables for any deployed prompt version, making it easy to audit AI logic through natural conversation.
How do I log human feedback for a specific trace?
Use the create_score tool by providing the Trace ID and a JSON payload defining the score name (e.g. 'user-satisfaction') and value. Your agent will attach this structured data directly to the Langfuse record.
Can my agent report on my LLM spending for the current day?
Absolutely. The get_daily_metrics tool retrieves aggregated USD costs and average latency metrics from Langfuse. Your agent can summarize these statistics to help you monitor your infrastructure budget in real-time.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
