**Add comprehensive analytics and monitoring to your MCP servers with just 2-3 lines of code.**

Observatory SDK provides lightweight, zero-configuration observability for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Track performance metrics, protocol messages, errors, and user behavior without modifying your existing MCP server implementation.

## ✨ Features

- 🚀 **2-Line Integration**: Add observability with minimal code changes
- 📊 **Complete Analytics**: Protocol messages, performance metrics, error tracking
- 🔒 **Privacy-First**: Built-in PII detection and data masking
- ⚡ **Lightweight**: <1ms overhead per message, async processing
- 🎯 **Smart Sampling**: Adaptive sampling with error prioritization
- 🔌 **Zero Server Modification**: Works via protocol message interception
- 📈 **Real-Time Monitoring**: Live dashboards and alerting
- 🐍 **Type-Safe**: Full type hints for IDE autocomplete

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install observatory-mcp
```

For MCP server integration:
```bash
pip install observatory-mcp[mcp]
```

For development:
```bash
pip install observatory-mcp[dev]
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Integration (2 lines!)

```python
from mcp.server import Server
from observatory_mcp import ObservatorySDK

# Create your MCP server as usual
app = Server("my-awesome-mcp-server")

# Add Observatory with 2 lines!
observatory = ObservatorySDK(
    api_key="obs_live_xyz123",
    server_name="my-awesome-mcp-server",
    server_version="1.0.0"
)
app = observatory.wrap_server(app)

# Your handlers work exactly the same - Observatory tracks automatically!
@app.list_tools()
async def list_tools():
    return [...]
