Scout supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can connect your coding agent to Scout and query traces, logs, metrics, service topology, and alerts using natural language.
Coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Google Gemini CLI now ship with native OpenTelemetry support. This means you can collect structured telemetry covering token usage, cost attribution, tool calls, sessions, and lines of code modified, the same way you instrument any other production system.
This post covers what each agent emits, how to enable collection, and what we learned running Claude Code telemetry across a team.
Building agents that rely on third-party tools teaches you, quickly, what works and what doesn't. Most of these lessons came from things breaking. Here's what I think matters.
