The Studio is also the live operations console for a server. You confirm it is healthy, read its metrics and configuration, and drive live operations — reloading a tool, updating the manifest, or removing a capability — without a restart and without leaving the browser.

Health and metrics

The System screen reads the server’s liveness probe and its Prometheus metrics exposition. A green health badge confirms the server is up and answering; the Metrics panel renders the same exposition a Prometheus scraper reads. The demo instance below shows both — a populated Healthy badge and the Metrics panel rendering live counters. On a server that has not emitted any metrics yet, the panel shows a “No metrics reported” empty state instead.

The kinds table

The System screen also reads the server’s kinds summary — the plugin kinds the server knows about and, for each, whether it is active (a provider is configured and running), running on a default (the built-in fallback is in use), or off (the kind is not configured). It is the fastest way to confirm which providers a running server actually resolved — for example, which identity and accounts providers the configured auth-provider chain brought up. The same summary is served at GET /api/system/kinds and printed in the server’s startup log — see live operations.

User administration

When a server runs an accounts provider that ships a Studio page, that page mounts into the shell as its own users-admin surface — an example of the studio plugin model, where a plugin contributes UI, not just API routes. From it an admin manages human accounts: create a user, issue an invite, apply a role, and disable an account. The page governs only the usr-* human principals. Machine keys are managed on the API keys surface, and non-human sign-in subjects (oidc:*, idp:*) through the raw access-control policy routes — see the principal-type split.

The users-admin page is contributed by an accounts provider plugin. Its exact fields and controls come from that plugin; the concrete provider setup lives in the plugin’s own repository README, not on this site.

The operations dashboard

The Dashboard summarises the server’s monitoring backend — total runs, cost, latency, and token counts over a time range, with a per-model breakdown and a trend chart. It answers “what has this server been doing” at a glance. The demo instance below is populated from a monitoring backend seeded with example runs, so the summary tiles, trend chart, and per-model breakdown show representative data. With no monitoring backend registered, the Dashboard renders a clean empty state instead.

Settings

The Settings screen reads the server’s configuration mode and its settings schema, exposes the environment values, and hosts the API-keys tab. It surfaces each subsystem’s settings — connector crypto, engine config, store connections — as an editable form.

Live operations

Because the Studio drives the same /api/* surface as the tai CLI, the management operations are one run away. From the Tools screen you invoke reload_tool, remove_tool, or reload_config — the live operations — to reload a tool, drop one from the live registry, or soft-restart the server in place. While a reload is in flight, the API answers dispatch routes with a retriable 503 rather than serving against a half-swapped registry.
Anything the console does maps to an HTTP route and a CLI command. Reach for tai mcp status or tai tools run from a terminal when you want the same operation scripted.
See live operations for the management operations, and the CLI reference and HTTP API reference for the routes behind each screen.
