Query your AI agents' traces, errors, cost and alerts in Rius, the agent observability platform.
Overview
Hosted Rius MCP server that lets an assistant query AI agent traces, errors, cost, metrics and alerts in the Rius observability platform.
- What you can do
- Inspect workspace and identity: current user, workspaces, users and user activity summaries
- Browse agents: list agents, versions, version comparisons and lifecycle events
- Explore traces and spans: trace summaries, trace lists, single traces, spans and search catalog
- Review errors and metrics: error groups, workspace metrics overview and metrics catalog
- Read and manage alerts: list alerts, rules and channels, plus create, update, delete rules and channels and acknowledge alerts
- Create API keys for the workspace
- When to use it
- Useful when your AI agents send traces to Rius and you want to ask about failures, cost, latency, version differences or open alerts from a coding assistant instead of the console. Also fits teams that want an assistant to set up or adjust alert rules.
- Requirements
- Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install or self-host. A Rius workspace with agent traces, plus OAuth 2.1 browser sign-in or a Rius API key sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header (for example via RIUS_API_KEY) for headless use. Stdio-only clients need a bridge such as mcp-remote.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Rius in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.glassflow%2Frius/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Rius MCP server
Rius is an observability platform for AI agents, built by GlassFlow. The Rius MCP server lets your coding assistant query your agents' traces, errors, cost and alerts in plain language, from VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any other MCP client.
This repository holds the public README for the hosted server, plus a reference copy of its server.json. The live registry entry is published by the server's release pipeline, so its version may be newer than the copy here. The server itself runs as a managed service; there is nothing to install or self-host.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.eu.console.rius-glassflow.com/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 sign-in in the browser, or a Rius API key for headless use
- MCP registry name:
ai.glassflow/rius - Docs: https://docs.glassflow.ai/rius/mcp
What you can ask
Once connected, ask questions about your agents in the chat:
- "Which of my agents had the most errors in the last 24 hours, and what are the top error groups?"
- "Show me today's failed runs for
support-agentand walk me through the worst one." - "Compare cost and latency between versions 1.4.0 and 1.5.0 of
support-agent." - "Which end users cost the most this week?"
- "List open alerts and explain what triggered each one."
- "Create an alert that fires when
checkout-agenterror rate goes above 5%."
Prerequisites
A Rius workspace with agent traces in it. Sign up and follow the quickstart to send your first traces with the Rius SDK or any OpenTelemetry exporter.
Connect
Every client below uses the server name rius. On first use the client signs you in to Rius through the browser (some clients need a command to start it; see the per-client notes). The server supports dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents, so there is no client ID to configure.
VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or your user mcp.json). Note the top-level key is servers:
Start the server from the Start action above its entry in mcp.json (or run MCP: List Servers) and allow the sign-in prompt. Then open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode and select the rius tools.
Claude Code
Run /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in.
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
Then approve the server under Settings → MCP.
Codex
Other clients
Most clients accept a JSON block like this one:
Clients that only support stdio can bridge through mcp-remote:
Per-client notes (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI, opencode) are in the MCP server docs.
Headless use with an API key
For CI jobs, scripts or remote agents that cannot open a browser, send a Rius API key as a bearer token instead of signing in. Create a key with the Query data capability from the console's MCP page ("Connect an agent") or the Create API key dialog.
In VS Code, let it prompt for the key once and store it securely:
In other JSON configs, add a headers block. Not every client expands environment variables, so use your client's variable syntax or paste the key:
In Codex, set bearer_token_env_var = "RIUS_API_KEY" on the server entry in ~/.codex/config.toml.
Tools
The main tools are below. The full, current reference with parameters is at https://docs.glassflow.ai/rius/mcp/tools.
The tools marked "write" change data. When a call is not allowed, the server tells the assistant why instead of failing silently:
- Signed in: read tools and
ack_alertwork for every member. Alert rule and channel tools,list_alert_channelsandcreate_api_keyneed an org admin. - With an API key: a key is read-only unless it was created with
alerts:manage(alert rule tools) orchannels:manage(alert channel tools, includinglist_alert_channels).ack_alertandcreate_api_keynever work with a key.
