Django Orbit

Django Orbit is an observability dashboard and local MCP server for Django applications, designed to give both developers and AI coding agents real runtime evidence when debugging. It records what actually happened inside an application, then links those events into a single timeline per request so an issue can be traced from the route through to the database, background job or external dependency involved. It is for Django developers who use coding agents and want those agents to investigate from facts rather than guesses based on repository search. Watchers capture request methods, paths, status codes and durations; SQL timings, slow and duplicate queries, N+1 evidence and EXPLAIN output; exceptions, tracebacks, logs, model events and signals; cache activity, Redis commands, storage operations, outgoing HTTP calls and mail previews; and jobs from Celery, Django Q, RQ and APScheduler. Since version 0.10.0 the read only MCP tools can build a debug brief from ticket text, investigate one request family, create JSON or Markdown incident bundles, rank fix hypotheses and propose test plans. Safety features mask sensitive keys recursively, can strip payloads for metadata only agent access, isolate watcher failures from the host app, and expose watcher health at a dedicated endpoint. It installs with pip and supports Django 4.0 and later on Python 3.9 and later. Django Orbit is free and open source under the MIT License. Orbit Pro, a self hosted layer for verifying agent assisted changes against real Django runs, is in development with a founder waitlist and no published pricing.
