name: bitdrift
description: bitdrift builds Capture, a cost-effective dynamic mobile observability platform for iOS, Android, and React Native.
  A lightweight on-device SDK stores high-volume telemetry locally and uploads only what is needed under real-time control
  from the bitdrift control plane, avoiding lengthy mobile release cycles to change what is collected. The platform surfaces
  Instant Insights dashboards, Workflows for custom metrics, funnels and session-capture rules, a Session Timeline for debugging,
  Issues & Crashes tracking, and Alerts. It is operated through a web portal and the `bd` CLI, and exposes a public, schema-first
  protobuf API over gRPC, Connect, and gRPC-over-JSON at api-public.bitdrift.io. bitdrift is a developer-tools company backed
  by Amplify Partners.

    note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list
      derived from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported
      mcp_server correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
