+## Use the dashboard with AI coding agents
+
+The dashboard isn't just a UI for developers — its data is also available to AI coding agents through the [Aspire CLI](/reference/cli/overview/) and the [Aspire MCP server](/get-started/aspire-mcp-server/). Agents read the same structured logs, distributed traces, console output, and resource state that you see in the dashboard, so they can diagnose issues, verify fixes, and add features with full runtime context.
+
+CLI commands like [`aspire describe`](/reference/cli/commands/aspire-describe/), [`aspire otel logs`](/reference/cli/commands/aspire-otel-logs/), and [`aspire otel traces`](/reference/cli/commands/aspire-otel-traces/) all support `--format Json` for machine-readable output. The MCP server exposes equivalent tools — `list_resources`, `list_structured_logs`, `list_traces`, and `list_console_logs` — to any MCP-compatible assistant.
+
+For setup steps, supported assistants, and a sample agent workflow, see [Dashboard and AI coding agents](/dashboard/ai-coding-agents/).

 ## Standalone mode
 
 The Aspire dashboard is also shipped as a Docker image and can be used standalone, without the rest of Aspire. The standalone dashboard provides a great UI for viewing telemetry and can be used by any application.
