Trace for agents · Pro

Your agent should know what tech is doing today.

Connect once. Your agent gets structured current tech news, notable builds, and practitioner conversations without searching the open web from scratch every time.

Read onlyPro checked on every requestMCP + HTTPS

Builds worth seeing

Open-source projects, launches, and developer tools with actual signal.

Live conversations

Technical discussions and community reactions around what just happened.

Step 1

Create your read-only Agent Key

Sign in to create your Agent Key

The key is read-only and belongs to your Trace account. Agent Access is included with Pro.

Step 2

Connect the client you already use

Codex

export TRACE_AGENT_KEY="your_key_here"
codex mcp add trace \
  --url https://www.yourtrace.online/api/mcp \
  --bearer-token-env-var TRACE_AGENT_KEY

Claude, Cursor, and MCP clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trace": {
      "url": "https://www.yourtrace.online/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${TRACE_AGENT_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom agents and bots

curl "https://www.yourtrace.online/api/agents/brief?limit=8" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRACE_AGENT_KEY"

Delivery channels

Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack

Trace supplies the intelligence. Your bot or agent decides where to send it. Any system that can call MCP or HTTPS can fetch the brief and post it into the channel you already use.

Step 3

Ask for outcomes, not endpoints

“Every weekday at 8:30 AM, send the five AI and developer stories I should know to Telegram. Include why each matters.”

“Show me the three most interesting open-source projects in today’s Trace brief and explain what is actually new about them.”

“Summarize the strongest technical conversations today. Separate informed practitioner debate from generic reactions.”

“Before our product standup, give me a founder-focused brief with market shifts, new tools, and community signals.”
