Unified local observability for AI coding assistants
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/tobilg/ai-observerUnified local observability for AI coding assistants
AI Observer is a self-hosted, single-binary, OpenTelemetry-compatible observability backend designed specifically for monitoring local AI coding tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex CLI.
Track token usage, costs, API latency, error rates, and session activity across all your AI coding assistants in one unified dashboard—with real-time updates and zero external dependencies.
AI coding assistants are becoming essential development tools, but understanding their behavior and costs remains a challenge:
linux/amd64 and linux/arm64
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 4318:4318 \
-v ai-observer-data:/app/data \
--name ai-observer \

Dashboard: http://localhost:8080
Using a local directory for data persistence:
# Create a local data directory
mkdir -p ./ai-observer-data
# Run with local volume mount
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \

-v $(pwd)/ai-observer-data:/app/data \
-e AI_OBSERVER_DATABASE_PATH=/app/data/ai-observer.duckdb \

This stores the DuckDB database in your local ./ai-observer-data directory, making it eas...
