Ultra includes a built-in web dashboard for monitoring MCP traffic, inspecting traces, and viewing audit logs.

​
Starting the Dashboard

This starts a web server at http://localhost:8080 and reads data from Ultra’s local storage.

Dashboard Features

​
Traffic Overview

Real-time view of recent MCP operations flowing through Ultra:
  • Request count, success/error rates
  • Per-server breakdown
  • Latency distribution

​
Trace Inspector

Drill into individual operations:
  • Full request/response payloads
  • Duration and status
  • Upstream server and tool name
  • OpenTelemetry trace and span IDs

​
Audit Log Viewer

Browse security audit events:
  • Filter by event type, severity, and outcome
  • View details for each event
  • Track who did what and when

​
Exporting table data

Most data tables in the dashboard carry an Export control in the toolbar. It’s available on Traffic, Audit, Servers, Tools, and Clients in both the Hub dashboard and the local ultra dashboard, plus Gateways, Identities, Anomaly scans, and the Admin Log, which are Hub-only surfaces. Click Export and choose CSV or JSON:
  • The full result set, not just the page you’re looking at. Whatever filters, search, and sorting are applied carry into the file, and every matching row is included across pagination, up to a cap of 50,000 rows. Past that cap the export stops and a notice asks you to narrow the filters to pull the rest.
  • Only the visible columns are exported. Action and UI-only columns are skipped, and internal fields that some rows carry (raw request/response payloads, workspace and organization IDs) are never written to the file.
  • CSV is UTF-8 with a byte-order mark so spreadsheet apps render names and emails correctly, uses RFC 4180 line endings, and hardens against spreadsheet formula injection. JSON preserves native types (numbers stay numbers, booleans stay booleans) for programmatic use.
  • Files are named <surface>-<timestamp>, for example audit-20260601-214233.csv.

​
Exporting a selection

Tables with a checkbox column let you export a subset instead of the whole result set. Tick individual rows, or use the header checkbox to select every row on the current page, then choose Export to download only those rows. The toolbar shows the selected count with a Clear control. Selection is scoped to the page you’re viewing and resets when you change filters, sorting, or page. On some pages, a selection also enables bulk actions next to Export. Detail views in the dashboard are deep-linkable, so you can point a teammate straight at a specific record. Open any detail drawer or detail page and use the Copy link button (the link icon in the drawer header) to copy a URL that reopens that exact item. Opening a shared link loads the page and automatically opens the matching drawer. If the target no longer exists (for example, a gateway that has since been removed), the dashboard shows a “not found” notice instead of opening an empty drawer.

​
Storage

The dashboard reads from the same local storage that Ultra writes to during operation:
You can run the dashboard while Ultra is running — concurrent reads and writes are supported.
Run ultra start in one terminal and ultra dashboard in another to monitor traffic in real time.
