AppSignal has launched an MCP server that connects AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, Zed, Windsurf) directly to production monitoring data. Setup takes under five minutes using a public endpoint — no Docker required. Once connected, agents can investigate and triage errors, query metrics, review anomaly alerts, manage dashboards, and document incidents. The guide walks through prerequisites (AppSignal account + MCP token), configuration for each supported IDE, a five-step end-to-end investigation workflow, and productivity tips for effective use.
