Langfuse MCP server
Which MCP servers are Langfuse's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Addresshttps://langfuse.com/api/mcpnot in the official registry: answered when asked
No entry in the official MCP registry names this server. It answered on langfuse.com when the Atlas asked at the address servers are usually mounted on, so it is the vendor's own. Clients and catalogues that list servers from the registry do not show it.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 95 ms.
- Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: trace LLM calls, tool steps and retrievals in agents; run evaluators and human review on production traces; version prompts and roll back changes without code deploys.
- Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 1 of 4 tools: check arguments before calling.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?
Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"langfuse": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://langfuse.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http langfuse https://langfuse.com/api/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://langfuse.com/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.
Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
