+
+## Observability & Tracing
+
+This server includes OpenTelemetry (OTEL) instrumentation for distributed tracing. Tracing is **opt-in** and disabled by default.
+
+### Quick Start with Jaeger
+
+1. Start Jaeger backend (requires Docker):
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run tracing:jaeger:start
+   ```
+
+2. Configure environment variables in `.env`:
+
+   ```bash
+   OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318
+   OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mapbox-mcp-devkit-server
+   ```
+
+3. Run the server:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run inspect:build
+   ```
+
+4. View traces at http://localhost:16686
+
+5. Stop Jaeger when done:
+   ```bash
+   npm run tracing:jaeger:stop
+   ```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` — OTLP endpoint URL (e.g., `http://localhost:4318`). If not set, tracing is disabled.
+- `OTEL_EXPORTER_CONSOLE_ENABLED` — Set to `true` to log traces to console (avoid with stdio transport)
+- `OTEL_TRACING_ENABLED` — Set to `false` to explicitly disable tracing even if endpoint is configured
+- `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME` — Override service name (default: `mapbox-mcp-devkit-server`)
+- `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` — JSON string of additional headers for OTLP exporter
+
+### What Gets Traced
+
+- Tool execution spans with timing and status
+- HTTP requests to Mapbox APIs (automatic instrumentation)
+- Configuration loading and initialization
+- Error details and stack traces
+
+### Trace Attributes
+
+Each tool execution span includes:
+
+- `tool.name` — Tool identifier
+- `tool.input.size` — Input payload size
+- `operation.type` — Type of operation (e.g., `tool_execution`)
+- `session.id`, `user.id`, `account.id` — Context from MCP extra fields (if provided)
+
+### Production Considerations
+
+- Tracing has minimal overhead when enabled
+- Recommended for debugging complex tool chains and performance issues
+- Can be used with any OTLP-compatible backend (Jaeger, Honeycomb, DataDog, etc.)
+- For hosted endpoints, configure appropriate sampling rates

 **Note:** Resources provide static reference data that doesn't change frequently, while tools provide dynamic, user-specific data (like listing your styles or tokens) and perform actions (like creating styles or tokens).
 
+## Observability & Tracing
+
+This server includes comprehensive distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry (OTEL) for production-ready observability.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Opt-in Configuration**: Tracing is disabled by default, enabling it requires only setting an OTLP endpoint
+- **Tool Execution Tracing**: Automatic instrumentation of all tool executions with timing, success/failure status, and error details
+- **HTTP Request Instrumentation**: Complete request/response tracing for Mapbox API calls with CloudFront correlation IDs
+- **Configuration Tracing**: Startup configuration loading with error tracking
+- **Security**: Input/output sizes logged but content is protected
+- **Low Overhead**: <1% CPU impact, ~10MB memory for trace buffers

+### Quick Start with Jaeger
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start Jaeger (Docker required)
+npm run tracing:jaeger:start
+
+# 2. Configure environment
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env to add MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
+# OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is already set to http://localhost:4318
+
+# 3. Run the server
+npm run inspect:build
+
+# 4. View traces at http://localhost:16686
+
+# 5. Stop Jaeger when done
+npm run tracing:jaeger:stop
+```
+
+### Supported Backends
+
+The server supports **any OTLP-compatible backend** including:
+
+- **Development**: Jaeger (local Docker)
+- **Cloud Providers**: AWS X-Ray, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Trace
+- **SaaS Platforms**: Datadog, New Relic, Honeycomb
+
+See `.env.example` for configuration examples for each platform.
