Summary
Adds a coarse, anonymous signal to tool telemetry: which AI coding tool is driving the MCP server (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, opencode, Copilot, or other).
How it works
initializehandshake clientInfo.name, read at runtime viaServer.getClientVersion(). Newai-identity.tsin@argent/telemetrycanonicalizes that raw name to a known slug. Unrecognized tools becomeotherplus a bounded, sanitized free-form name.clientInfolives in the MCP server process. The MCP server forwards the identity asX-Argent-AI-Client/X-Argent-AI-Client-Namerequest headers.AiTelemetryPropsis mixed into the tool event types and merged in the registry listener and tool-server stop handler via the shared aiTelemetryFromMeta helper, so keys are omitted entirely when absent.Privacy
It records only which tool is connected. It is validated at the
mcp-server, re-validated at thetool-server, and enforced a third time by thesanitizerallowlist before anything reaches PostHog. Path-like or oversized names are dropped.
