| By default, every request through the MCP server is recorded as a conversation in the [Ask Fern analytics dashboard](/learn/docs/ai-features/ask-fern/overview). Automated tests or evals that call the server are recorded alongside real user queries, which can skew the data. | ||
|
|
||
| To prevent a request from being recorded, include the header `x-fern-skip-save-query: true` (or `x-fern-skip-save-query: 1`) on the MCP HTTP request. The request is still answered normally and still consumes AI credits — only the analytics recording is skipped. |

Added a new "Exclude test and eval traffic from analytics" section to
fern/products/docs/pages/ai/mcp-server.mdx, placed between "Authenticated sites" and "Disable the MCP server". The section explains that automated test/eval requests are recorded in Ask Fern analytics by default, and shows how to suppress recording by passingx-fern-skip-save-query: true(or1) as an HTTP header — with aclaude mcp add --headerexample. The request is still answered and still consumes AI credits; only the analytics write is skipped. Source: https://github.com/fern-api/fern-platform/pull/14760.
