Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Inspect AI projects, traces, tests, and governance rules in Openlayer, and debug failing evals.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "openlayer": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.openlayer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32415 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 68% of the other 32415 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 32415 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Openlayer safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.16.1) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Openlayer Skills

Agent Skills that teach AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) how to integrate apps with Openlayer — the AI evaluation and observability platform.

Coding agents produce significantly better results with the skill installed, because they are conditioned to follow Openlayer's current best practices instead of guessing from memory (outdated SDK calls, wrong env vars, invented test configs).

Skills

SkillDescription
openlayerMain skill. Instrument code with tracing (monitoring), set up offline openlayer.json + tests.json evals (development), create tests/guardrails, gate CI/CD, run the MCP fix-loop, and access data and docs.

Installation

Claude Code plugin
claude plugin marketplace add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills

claude plugin install openlayer@openlayer

Cursor plugin
/add-plugin openlayer
GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot reads .github/plugin/plugin.json and the same skills and .mcp.json as Claude Code.

In VS Code, add the marketplace to your settings.json, then install Openlayer from the Extensions view (search @agentPlugins):

{

"chat.plugins.marketplaces": ["openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills"] }

In the Copilot CLI:

copilot plugin marketplace add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills

copilot plugin install openlayer@openlayer

Other agents

Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, opencode, and dozens more install through the skills CLI:

npx skills add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills --skill "openlayer"

For claude.ai, Copilot's cloud coding agent and code review, a manual symlink, or anything else, see the installation guide — it is the source of truth and stays current as these tools change.

Prerequisites

An Openlayer account and an API key:

export OPENLAYER_API_KEY=...

self-hosted / local only:

export OPENLAYER_BASE_URL=https://api.openlayer.com/v1

Find your API key in the Openlayer app under Workspace settings → API keys (see https://docs.openlayer.com/workspace-and-projects/find-your-api-key).

Usage

Once installed, the agent uses the skill automatically when relevant — for example:

  • Adding Openlayer tracing/monitoring to an LLM or agent app
  • Setting up offline evals (openlayer.json + tests.json) and pushing commits
  • Creating tests from the catalog and configuring guardrails
  • Gating CI/CD on eval results
  • Debugging failing tests via the Openlayer MCP fix-loop
  • Querying projects, pipelines, test results, or looking up Openlayer docs

MCP server

The plugin also connects your agent to the hosted Openlayer MCP server at https://mcp.openlayer.com/mcp (US accounts on app.openlayer.com; this is the .mcp.json default). The first time a tool is used, you sign in to Openlayer with OAuth and pick a workspace. The agent can then read projects, data sources, traces, tests, results, and governance rules in that workspace, and create or update them when you ask. Write and delete tools ask for confirmation.

EU accounts (eu.openlayer.com) must use https://mcp-eu.openlayer.com/mcp. Each hosted MCP server only accepts tokens from its own region's API, so an EU account pointed at the US server fails OAuth. Outside the regional cloud hosts the default stays https://mcp.openlayer.com/mcp.

Tool calls go only to Openlayer's API. Nothing is sent anywhere else. See the privacy policy. Self hosted deployments should point the server at their own URL, as the MCP docs describe.
