## What it does

The plugin integrates Claude Code with Pydantic Logfire using a built-in MCP server. It lets the assistant detect and instrument frameworks like FastAPI, httpx, SQLAlchemy, or asyncpg with `/instrument`, and trace application errors via `/debug`.

Interactive metrics and log investigations run through the `/query` command. Whenever you need live project views or Explore filters, the `logfire-ui` workflow returns the direct Logfire link instead of running queries.

Managed session telemetry relies on `logfire-cli` installed in a private uv environment, which requires Python 3 and uv on the machine. Deleting the plugin does not stop session telemetry on its own. You must run `/logfire:disconnect` before uninstalling. For EU data residency, set `LOGFIRE_MCP_URL=https://logfire-eu.pydantic.dev/mcp`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install logfire@claude-plugins-official
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- configure observability for FastAPI, httpx, asyncpg, and SQLAlchemy
- investigate application exceptions through `/debug` traces via MCP
- query logs, metrics, and trace data directly in Claude Code
- record Claude Code session telemetry and tool activity in Logfire

## Example prompts
- /logfire:connect
- /instrument
- /debug find what caused the recent 500 errors in production traces

# logfire

Add [Logfire](https://logfire.pydantic.dev/) observability to Python applications.

## Features

- `/logfire:connect` - connect Claude's MCP client and optionally set up native session telemetry
- `/logfire:status` - check MCP access, native telemetry configuration, and delivery evidence separately
- `/logfire:disconnect` - stop native Claude telemetry while keeping MCP and skills
- `logfire-coding-agents` skill - configure Claude/Codex recording or coding-agent Gateway routing
- `logfire-frontend` skill - set up browser errors, Web Vitals, and session replays
- `logfire-gateway` skill - route application model calls through Pydantic AI Gateway
- `/instrument` - detect frameworks and add Logfire instrumentation
- `logfire-setup` skill - authenticate, inspect the repository, and route to the right setup workflow
- `logfire-infrastructure` skill - monitor hosts, containers, Kubernetes, databases, and cloud infrastructure
- `logfire-evals` skill - add dataset-based evaluations for AI and agent behavior
- `/debug` - investigate errors using Logfire traces via MCP
- `/query` - query traces, logs, and metrics interactively or add query capabilities to code
- `logfire-ui` skill - open Logfire project pages, live views, traces, and Explore filters directly in Codex
- SKILL.md with core Logfire patterns (configure, instrument, structured logging, AI/LLM instrumentation)
- MCP server for querying Logfire data

## Query vs UI Routing

The Codex Logfire plugin uses one primary workflow per request:

| User intent | Route |
| --- | --- |
| Analyze, query, count, summarize, compare, or find root cause | Use `logfire-query` and return analysis in chat. |
| Open, show in browser, live view, Explore, Logfire UI, or give a link | Use `logfire-ui` and open or return a Logfire URL without querying first. |
| Ambiguous prompts like "show recent errors" or "view logs" | Ask whether the user wants a UI view or query analysis. |
| Explicit combined prompts like "analyze this and give me a link" | Do the requested query work, then provide the relevant Logfire link. |

For UI requests that omit the organization/project, the agent should resolve the current project through Logfire MCP auth/current-project metadata before asking the user. Environment values such as `LOGFIRE_BASE_URL`, `LOGFIRE_URL`, and exporter config identify the platform/API base only; they are not enough to infer the target organization/project.

## Install In Claude Code

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add pydantic/skills
claude plugin install logfire@pydantic-skills
```

The Claude plugin provides `/instrument`, `/debug`, `/query`, and the Logfire MCP server.

### Connect once

Run `/logfire:connect` inside Claude Code. It guides you through MCP OAuth and,
if you choose, native Claude session telemetry. MCP-only use needs no Logfire
CLI. For telemetry, the command locates its managed CLI or offers to install
one into a private, persistent uv tool environment; you do not need to run CLI
setup commands yourself. Python 3 and uv are needed for that managed install.

Native traces/tool-output capture requires `logfire-cli>=0.1.14,<0.2` (the
release containing logfire-cli#288). The managed installation uses the
package's `logfire-cli` executable, not the Python SDK's `logfire` command.
Older versions are rejected; MCP and existing skills remain usable independently.

The flow asks for the destination project and capture policy. Full capture can
include prompts, code, tool output, and secrets inside raw model API bodies.
Metadata-only excludes message/tool content. Native telemetry is user-wide,
including Claude sessions in other repositories, and requires a restart.

`/logfire:status` distinguishes local configuration from observed ingestion.
`/logfire:disconnect` removes the native configuration using the CLI; restart
Claude afterwards. **Disabling or uninstalling the plugin alone does not stop
native telemetry.** Disconnect before uninstalling. SDK write credentials and
the managed CLI remain outside the plugin cache, under
