A new open-source npm library called opentel-mcp has been developed to address silent failures in Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which are crucial for connecting LLM agents to tools. This library instruments MCP servers, specifically for Node.js and TypeScript, to detect and report failures that are not apparent at the transport layer, such as an `isError: true` flag within a successful HTTP 200 response. The library integrates with the SigNoz observability platform, providing a dedicated dashboard to visualize these previously hidden errors and offering metrics on call counts, transport-level errors, and silent failures.
