We’re excited to introduce the Scout Monitoring MCP Server — a new way to bring AI-native monitoring directly into your coding assistant. Instead of flipping between dashboards and logs, the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server surfaces performance data, errors, and slow endpoints right where you work. Ask plain-language questions like “show me the latest five errors” and get answers grounded in live telemetry. You can even let your coding assistant propose and push fixes!

The world of software development has fundamentally changed. We've moved from monthly releases to continuous delivery measured in minutes, and the rise of AI means velocity is no longer just a goal—it's a requirement for survival. But this relentless speed has exposed a critical flaw in how we approach observability. The industry relies on a "store first, ask questions later" model where you collect every log, metric, and trace, and then hope to find the root cause when something breaks.

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, along with updates to the new Explorer UI that make it easier to save, organize, and query your data.

InfluxDB 3 Core is free and open source, optimized for recent data, and licensed under MIT and Apache 2.
