Connect MCP servers to Assistant
Enable GitHub, Linear, and custom MCP servers to let Assistant find issues, search code, and complete tasks with safe, manual tool confirmations.
Overview
MCP servers extend Assistant’s capabilities beyond observability data from metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. They connect Assistant to external systems like issue trackers, code repositories, and project management tools. This lets you investigate incidents, find related code changes, search for known issues, and link observability findings to ongoing work without leaving your conversation with Assistant.
