Periscope exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you query your DORA metrics, SPACE metrics, and deployment data directly from your AI coding assistant. Instead of switching to the dashboard, ask your AI assistant about your team’s metrics in natural language.

Overview

  • Server URL: https://app.periscope.sh/mcp
  • Protocol: MCP over HTTP (streamable)
  • Authentication: OAuth 2.0 (same login as the dashboard)
  • Available tools: 18 read-only query tools
  • Plan requirement: Business or Enterprise (included in 14-day trial)
Periscope is currently in private beta. Setup instructions will be available once you have access. Join the waitlist to get early access.

Usage examples

Check overall engineering health

Ask your AI assistant:
“How are our DORA metrics looking for the last 30 days?”
The assistant will call get_overview_summary and summarize your PRs merged, cycle time, deployment count, and lead time with period-over-period comparisons.

Investigate deployment issues

“Which services have the highest failure rate this month?”
The assistant will call get_change_failure_rate and get_deployment_service_breakdown to identify problematic services.

Find undeployed code

“Are there any merged PRs that haven’t been deployed yet?”
The assistant calls get_undeployed_prs to show code that is merged but waiting for a deployment.

Identify team risks

“Are there any risk signals I should know about?”
The assistant calls get_risk_signals to surface bus factor risks, stale services, workload imbalances, and activity anomalies.

Understand a deployment

“What PRs went out in the last production deployment?”
The assistant calls get_prs_in_deployment with a limit of 1 to show the most recent deployment and its associated PRs.
“How has our PR cycle time changed over the last 90 days?”
The assistant calls get_pr_cycle_time with time_range: "90d" and presents the weekly trend data.
