Lightrun MCP: Your AI Assistant Now Debugs and Validates Production Code
Intermittent production bugs are hard to debug and rarely reproduce locally. Teams fall into a loop of adding logs, and every rollback slows them down. In this demo, R&D team leads Maor Yaffe and Or Golan show how an AI assistant can verify production issues using real runtime data, without redeploying. By connecting Cursor to Lightrun MCP, the agent inspects live production behavior, collects real variable values, and confirms the root cause with evidence instead of assumptions.

Types of Cyber Security Attacks
Damaging cyber attacks are a rising concern as organizations increasingly rely on digital technology for managing sensitive data and running core business operations. While technology can increase business efficiency, without security measures in place, a digital-first approach can end up introducing vulnerabilities and putting data at risk.
