LightShip
Faster production-agent iteration, without a developer bottleneck.
LightShip gives domain experts governed, self-serve access to production agent traces. It sits in front of your existing OpenTelemetry data in ClickHouse, so humans and AI coding agents can investigate real conversations and tool calls without database credentials or another observability silo.

Why LightShip
and outcomes using Codex, Claude, or another MCP client.
- Find the patterns behind failures. Ask business questions across conversations, tool calls,
traces into a separate platform.
- Keep your existing trace store. Bind LightShip to your OpenTelemetry table without copying
authorization inputs, then create or change policies without re-instrumenting. The same policy governs the web UI, REST API, and MCP.
- Instrument once; define policies later. Select existing columns and attribute keys as
exports into the agent workspace and returns only paths and counts to the conversation.
- Keep large investigations out of model context. The local MCP companion writes authorized

Open the hosted demo. Its sign-in page provides the credentials for a disposable administrator account. The dataset contains 132 recorded synthetic support-agent conversations across two fictional retailers.
In the web UI you can:
- inspect traces, conversations, and tool results;
- preview the tenant-scoped access available to each account team;
- review searchable and policy-accessible fields; and
- create a short-lived API key to investigate the same data through MCP.
Follow the tenant-scoped access guide to explore the access-control setup and verify its boundary. To investigate the traces conversationally, follow the MCP connection guide, then use the tested prompt sequence in the tenant-scoped access guide.
The deployment is an intentionally editable sandbox. Do not enter real or sensitive data.
How it works
any trace through the web UI, REST, or MCP.
- An administrator binds LightShip to an existing OpenTelemetry span table in ClickHouse.
- They choose which columns and map keys may be used for search and access rules.
- LightShip compiles each caller’s roles and attributes into the ClickHouse query before returning
A trace is the authorization unit: one matching span grants access to the complete trace. LightShip never gives restricted users direct ClickHouse credentials.
Performance
Query performance depends on the layout and indexes of your existing ClickHouse trace table. After you select the fields available to filters and access policies, LightShip reviews the table's sorting key and skip indexes and suggests DDL for missing indexes. These recommendations are advisory: LightShip never changes your ClickHouse schema automatically. See how to review the optimization report.

LightShip: common questions
- Is LightShip MCP server safe?
- Not recommended: it is graded D (50/100). Read the LightShip safety report
- How do I install LightShip?
- It runs remotely at lightship-production.up.railway.app. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop with the snippets above, or call it through the mcp.market gateway without installing anything.
- Does LightShip need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
Authorization. - Is LightShip maintained?
- The last commit was 34 days ago (2026-10-12). The latest release is v0.1.0-alpha.1.
- Is LightShip up?
- 0% of our last 28 checks got an answer. We check remote servers about four times a day.
- What can I use instead of LightShip?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Apify MCP Server, CLIO Chronolog MCP server and Mneme Memory MCP server.
- How does LightShip compare with other E-commerce MCP servers?
- safety score 50/100 (higher than 9% of 2,172 E-commerce servers); uptime 0% (of our recent checks; the typical remote E-commerce server answers 100%); response time 69 ms (faster than 87% of 1,534 E-commerce servers). Full comparison.
