Let's assume that you're using some kind of router package- I'd highly recommend that you then use the OTEL plugin for that package. You can find these plugins in the OTEL registry. In this case we're using the Julien Schmidt HTTPRouter and the plugin is from Splunk (nothing to do with Splunk logging mind you)- SplunkHTTPRouter.

Encore
Open Source Development Platform for building robust type-safe distributed systems with declarative infrastructure
Project mention: Show HN: Leap – Full-stack AI developer agent that deploys to AWS | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-30Leap doesn't currently use an MCP, but it we've build the same sort of logic for reading information from the Encore app's runtime into the Leap application itself. We found it was more controllable and token efficient.
Encore does have an MCP server now though, for local dev: https://github.com/encoredev/encore/releases/tag/v1.47.0
