  APIToolkit (now Monoscope) is an open-source-friendly API observability and monitoring
  platform that helps teams find and fix production issues before customers notice.
  It unifies logs, traces, metrics, errors, monitors, and session replay across
  17+ framework SDKs and 780+ OpenTelemetry integrations. The platform exposes a
  REST API (api.monoscope.tech/api/v1) for programmatic access to metrics, telemetry
  schema, and monitors, plus a hosted MCP server with ~50 auto-derived tools and
  workflow tools (analyze_issue, find_error_patterns, search_events_nl) and four
  Claude Code skills (investigate, triage, kql-reference, instrument) so agents
  can drive observability from the terminal or any LLM client. The apitoolkit.io
  domain now redirects to monoscope.tech.

      The Monoscope Platform REST API lets teams programmatically query metrics,
      retrieve telemetry schemas, and manage monitors per project. Authentication
      is via project-scoped Bearer API keys. Companion surfaces include native
      OpenTelemetry SDKs for 17+ frameworks, a CLI, a hosted MCP server, and
      Claude Code skills.
