Investigate with a coding agent
Ask Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or another coding agent to diagnose Softprobe Agent QA Sessions and traces. Evidence stays in your Softprobe workspace; access is read-only.
This is separate from capture (Connect agent / OpenCode plugin). Capture records Sessions; this flow investigates them.
1. Add Softprobe MCP
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http softprobe https://explorer.softprobe.ai/mcpCursor
Add an MCP server with URL:
https://explorer.softprobe.ai/mcp
(or cursor --add-mcp '{"name":"softprobe","url":"https://explorer.softprobe.ai/mcp"}')
2. Ask your agent
Examples:
- Use Softprobe: why did session
sess_…fail? Check tool errors and the last generation. - Softprobe: list Sessions from the last 24 hours with errors for agent
my-agent. - Softprobe: open trace
…and summarize tool results vs the model’s final answer.
The first call opens Softprobe in the browser so you can sign in and Allow. After that, the agent uses tools like get_session and search_sessions. Cite session_id / trace_id / span_id and link Explorer:
https://explorer.softprobe.ai?session=<session_id>
Optional skill playbook

Privacy
- Hosted MCP uses your Softprobe user login (OAuth). Tokens stay with your MCP client.
- Tools only read Sessions, observations, traces, and fixed log queries.
- They do not ingest telemetry or write scores.
Troubleshoot
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Browser auth loop | Finish Allow on the Softprobe consent page; ensure you’re signed into Explorer |
| Workspace picker / 409 | Pick a workspace in Explorer, or ask the agent to list_workspaces / select_workspace |
| MCP tools missing | Re-add https://explorer.softprobe.ai/mcp in your client |
| Confused with OpenCode capture | Capture uses @softprobe/opencode-plugin from Connect agent; this MCP only investigates |
