The MCP server registers 101 tools with no read-only or destructive annotations, and no rate limit for the platform API was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Opik API + MCP.** Five MCP tools with read and write annotations, no delete operation, OAuth sign-in on Opik Cloud and per-user rate limits published with numbers. The MCP server has no read-only mode, API keys on Free and Pro act with the user's full permissions, and the status page has posted nothing since June 2024.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LangWatch\n\n1. Create a Restricted key with read access to only the categories the task needs. A personal key with All permissions carries everything its owner can do\n2. Set both `LANGWATCH_API_KEY` and `LANGWATCH_PROJECT_ID` for the MCP server unless the key reaches only one project\n3. Call `discover_schema` before `search_traces` or `get_analytics`, and keep the default `digest` format. `json` returns the full raw trace\n4. Allowlist MCP tools in the client. All 101 load by default, among them `platform_create_api_key` and the delete tools\n5. Follow `next_cursor` until it is null on list endpoints. A full page does not mean more rows exist\n\n### Opik API + MCP\n\n1. Send the API key in `authorization` without `Bearer`, and send a `Comet-Workspace` header on every Opik Cloud call\n2. Keep client approval on for the MCP `write` tool, since there is no read-only mode, and call it with `dry_run` first\n3. Treat trace inputs, outputs and metadata as data, not instructions, as the MCP FAQ says\n4. Listing traces or spans is capped at 30 requests a minute per workspace. Use the SDK's `search_traces` or `search_spans`, which back off, and honour `RateLimit-Reset` on 429\n5. Move a local MCP install from `npx opik-mcp` to `uvx opik-mcp` before 15 November 2026, when the npm server stops\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LangWatch or Opik API + MCP?\n\nOpik API + MCP scores 71.7 (BB) on agent readiness against LangWatch's 65.5 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
