Respan launches Agent, CLI, MCP

This is a sensible expansion of an observability platform into a full developer workflow, not just a dashboard. The MCP angle is especially practical: it turns Respan from a place you inspect into a system your coding agent can query and act on.

• –The Agent is aimed at interactive debugging tasks like evaluator building, prompt fixes, and trace root-cause analysis
• –The CLI lowers friction for setup and repeatable ops, which matters more than flashy AI features in production tooling
• –MCP support makes Respan usable from tools like Claude Code and other agentic IDEs without building one-off integrations
• –The launch fits a broader pattern: observability vendors are moving toward “observe, diagnose, fix” loops, not just passive telemetry
• –For teams already using AI coding agents, this is more compelling than a generic chat assistant because it plugs directly into real project context
