Once MCP is running

You can start using AI tools like Cursor with live production context.

  • Ask your agent: “What can MCP Hud tell me about my service?”

Explore more examples and use cases:

  • "What are the top endpoints with the highest error rates?"
  • "What are the slowest endpoints in my service?"
  • "Give me an overview of endpoint health in production."
  • "Find optimization opportunities in production."
  • "Show me how /api/users/login is performing in production."
  • "Has the /payments/process endpoint been slower than usual?"
  • "What errors have been happening on /auth/reset-password lately?"
  • "Which functions are causing the most errors when calling /orders/create?"
  • "Which functions are slowing down the /cart/add endpoint?"
  • "Compare the performance of /search between this week and last week."
