After introducing Raygun's original MCP server and our new remote-first version, the most common question we hear is: "How do I actually set this up and start using it?" This guide covers exactly that, two short videos walking through setup and a real error being solved in both Cursor and Codex.

Like any leadership role, leading an engineering team in a mature, compact company like Raygun comes with both honor and responsibility. Leading a major development project is a bit like conducting a symphony orchestra, where every individual plays a crucial role and has a great impact on the work they release to customers and end-users.

If you're reading this blog, you likely already know the importance of quality software. But with the overwhelming number of metrics that can be monitored and improved, development teams are struggling with what metrics they should prioritize to have the most significant impact. The Crash Free Users score in Raygun is a perfect place for development teams who care about software quality to focus their efforts. It tells you what percentage of users didn't encounter a crash or error while using your software and is an ideal north star to gauge the overall quality of your software.

For the team that's down in the trenches untangling legacy code, writing unit tests, and just trying to come up with sensible variable names, it's easy to lose sight of the other end of the process, where code meets customer. You test, you deploy, nothing breaks, and you move on. However, it's just as important to keep an eye on code quality in production, and how it's experienced. Experience, though, is hard to quantify. What do you measure? How do you measure it? How do you improve it? And why do you care? We lay out answers in this post.

Here at Raygun, we like to go fast. Really fast. That's what we do! When we see something that isn't zooming, we try to figure out how to make it go faster. So today, we're answering a simple (and relevant) question; how do we make our public site, raygun.com, much, much faster? The answer, at first glance, is simple-we build it into a Content Delivery Network (CDN). But what if you have a load balancer serving your website, and you don't want to rebuild everything to serve from a CDN? Well, that's more complicated. Let's start by describing the issue.

We're happy to announce Raygun's new remote MCP server, giving AI tools direct access to live error data so they can investigate issues, surface root causes, and take action with real context, not guesses. It's been nearly a year since Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and a lot has changed in the AI space. Since then, almost all major players now support MCP, allowing them to tap into the massive and ever-expanding catalogue of MCP servers. When MCP first launched, we shipped our own Raygun MCP within 48 hours of the spec dropping, which was an early step toward giving LLMs visibility into Raygun data.

You know the feeling: You're right in the middle of cracking a really convoluted coding problem, when an urgent support ticket pops up. It's not just any ticket; it's from a VIP customer with a high-severity issue demanding resolution within an hour. You have to drop what you're doing and scramble, completely context-switching and losing all your momentum.
