Phoenix MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol for the Arize Phoenix platform. It provides a unified interface to Phoenix’s capabilities. You can use Phoenix MCP Server for:
  • Projects Management: List and explore projects that organize your observability data
  • Traces, Spans & Annotations: Retrieve traces, spans, and annotation configs for analysis and debugging
  • Sessions: Explore conversation flows and session-level annotations
  • Prompts Management: Create, list, update, and iterate on prompts
  • Datasets: Explore datasets and synthesize new examples
  • Experiments: Pull experiment results and visualize them with the help of an LLM
