LONDON, UK - 20 November 2025 - APIContext, the leader in resilience monitoring, today announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Performance Monitoring tool, a new capability that ensures AI systems respond fast enough to meet customer expectations.
Given that 85% of enterprises and 78% of SMBs are now using autonomous agents, MCP has emerged as the key enabler by providing an open standard that allows AI agents access tools, like APIs, databases, and SaaS apps, through a unified interface. Yet, while MCP unlocks scale for agent developers, it also introduces new complexity and operational strain for the downstream applications these agents rely on. Even small slowdowns or bottlenecks can cascade across automated workflows, impacting performance and end-user experience.
APIContext’s MCP server performance monitoring tool provides organizations with first-class observability for AI-agent traffic running over the MCP. This capability enables enterprises to detect latency, troubleshoot issues, and ensure AI workflows are complete within the performance budgets needed to meet user-facing SLAs. For example, consider a voice AI customer support system speaking with a caller. If the AI sends a query to the MCP server and has to wait for a response, the caller quickly becomes irritated and frustrated, often choosing to escalate to a human operator. This kind of latency prevents the business from realising the full value of its AI operations and disrupts the customer experience.
Key Benefits of MCP Performance Monitoring Includes:
Performance Budgeting for Agentic Workflows: Guarantees agent interactions are completed under required latency to maintain user-facing SLAs.
Root Cause Diagnosis: Identifies whether delays are caused by the agent, MCP server, authentication, or downstream APIs.
Reliability in Production: Detects drift and errors in agentic workflows before they affect customers.
“AI workflows now depend on a distributed compute chain that enterprises don’t control. Silent failures happen outside logs, outside traces, and outside traditional monitoring,” said Mayur Upadhyaya, CEO of APIContext. “. With MCP performance monitoring, we give organizations a live resilience signal that shows how machines actually experience their digital services so they can prevent failures before customers ever feel them.”
