SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing large Aspire deployments can become opaque as the number of resources grows; this Skill provides quick visibility into resource status, endpoints, and health to streamline debugging and operational decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized visibility into resource states, endpoints, health, logs, and traces via MCP tools.
  • Guidance for debugging Aspire apps, including migrations to Aspire 13+ and resolving environment or service discovery issues.
  • Patterns for eventing and lifecycle hooks to coordinate resources and respond to resource-ready events.

Quick Start

Run MCP tools to list resources, view logs, and examine traces for a running AppHost to diagnose issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose resource status issues in Aspire deployments?▼

Diagnose Aspire deployments by running MCP tools to surface resource states, endpoints, health, logs, and traces for a running AppHost. This provides centralized visibility to streamline debugging and operational decisions across growing resources.

What's the best way to view logs and traces for a running Aspire AppHost?▼

View Aspire logs and traces by executing MCP diagnostics tools against the running AppHost. These tools list resources, surface telemetry data, and examine traces to help operators identify and resolve issues quickly.

How do I resolve MCP access problems when debugging Aspire applications?▼

Resolve MCP access in Aspire by following proper event subscription workflows and environment inspection procedures. The skill guides operators from initial discovery through resolution, ensuring MCP tools correctly connect to the AppHost for diagnostics.

Can I use MCP tools to coordinate resource lifecycle events in Aspire?▼

Yes, MCP tools support Aspire eventing and lifecycle hooks to coordinate resources and respond to resource-ready events. This enables operators to manage dependencies and trigger actions based on resource state changes during deployment.

What should I check when migrating to Aspire 13+ and resources fail to start?▼

When migrating to Aspire 13+, inspect resource states, endpoints, and service discovery configurations using MCP diagnostics workflows. The skill provides guidance for resolving environment issues and debugging resource status problems that emerge after migration.

Why are my Aspire service discovery endpoints not resolving correctly?▼

Aspire service discovery issues can be diagnosed by inspecting environment configurations and resource states through MCP tools. The skill guides operators through environment inspection workflows to identify misconfigured endpoints and resolve discovery failures.
