# Traced LLM MCP Proxy > Proxy Gemini (Vertex AI) completions wrapped in OpenTelemetry trace spans; returns the answer plus the trace/span id. A production **remote MCP server** (traced-gemini) on [getvda.ai](https://anthropic-cryptography-langchain-d8b8c4.getvda.ai). Speaks the open **A2A** (`message/send`) and **MCP** (`invoke` tool) protocols. Discovery (`initialize`, `tools/list`) is free; execution is metered via Nevermined x402 micropayments. ## Capabilities - **traced-gemini** — Proxy Gemini (Vertex AI) completions wrapped in OpenTelemetry trace spans; returns the answer plus the trace/span id. - Composes: anthropic, cryptography, langchain-core, mcp, opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http, opentelemetry-sdk ## Connect (streamable-http) ```json { "mcpServers": { "traced-llm-mcp-proxy": { "url": "https://anthropic-cryptography-langchain-d8b8c4.getvda.ai/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http" } } } ``` ## Example Request (`invoke` tool `input`, or A2A message text): ```json { "prompt": "Capital of France in one word.", "max_tokens": 32 } ``` Response: ```json { "text": "Paris", "model": "gemini-2.5-flash", "usage": { "input": 9, "output": 1 }, "trace": { "trace_id": "290b52cc\u2026", "span_id": "3b0da2f6\u2026" } } ``` ## Links - Homepage: https://anthropic-cryptography-langchain-d8b8c4.getvda.ai - Agent Card (A2A): https://anthropic-cryptography-langchain-d8b8c4.getvda.ai/.well-known/agent.json - Governance: https://anthropic-cryptography-langchain-d8b8c4.getvda.ai/governance.md - Listed on Smithery: https://smithery.ai/servers/a2a/traced-llm-mcp-proxy
