ObservePoint News Center

ObservePoint now has an MCP server. AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can connect to your account, answer questions about your audits, run them for you, and pull reports.
​

What's New:

• Works with your AI tools: Point any AI client at https://mcp.observepoint.ai/v1.
• Secure sign-in: Log in with your ObservePoint account or SSO. Your AI tool never sees your password, and access refreshes automatically.
• Same permissions as you: The assistant can only do what your ObservePoint role allows.
• Wide coverage: Create, run and read audits and journeys, and work with rules, alerts, consent categories, reports, exports, HAR analysis and more.
• Included with your platform: There's nothing extra to buy.

Good to know: Full audit scans started through the MCP server count toward your account's usage, the same as scans you start in the app.
​

Get started: Add the server URL in your AI client's connector or MCP settings, then sign in to ObservePoint when prompted.

📖 Connecting to the MCP Server · Security & Trust

The ObservePoint Debugger can now send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, so you can see how your tags, cookies and site respond to a visitor who has opted out.

What's New:

• GPC switch: With it on, every request from the tab sends Sec-GPC: 1, and the page reads navigator.globalPrivacyControl as true.
• Current tab only: Other tabs aren't affected. GPC starts off and resets when you close the tab.
• Reload to apply: After you flip the switch, select Refresh Browser Window to reload the page with the signal.

How to use it: Open the Debugger, turn on the GPC switch in the toolbar next to the menu, then select Refresh Browser Window. Everyone who uses the Debugger has it.
​

You can now see your team's support requests, and where each one stands, without leaving ObservePoint.
​

What's New:

• Three tabs: Support Requests, Journey Requests and Tag Requests each have their own tab.
• Status counts: Widgets at the top show how many requests are Submitted, In Progress, Waiting For You or Resolved. Select one or more to filter the list.
• New requests from the same page: Open a support request, request a journey, or request a new tag. Tag requests start from a list of network requests in your account that don't match a known tag.
• Your team's requests: You'll see tickets your teammates opened too. Only the person who opened a ticket can read its full conversation.

Where to find it: Select the ? icon in the top right, then Support Portal.

There's a new top bar across ObservePoint. It holds search, help, settings and your account menu, and search reaches almost anything in your account.
​

What's New:

• Global search: Press ⌘/Ctrl + K or / on any page to search audits, journeys, folders, reports and more.
• Narrow it down: Filter results by category, or type a prefix like in:audits to search one area.
• Jump to any page: Type a page name, like "tag database," and go straight there.
• Recent items: Your last 10 searches and visits show up as soon as you open search.
• A cleaner sidebar: Help, Settings and your Account menu now live in the top bar.

Search follows your role and your account's features, so results only include things you can open.

You can now set a single audit to scan up to 1,000,000 pages. The old limit was 250,000.

What's New:

• 4x the page limit: In audit setup, set Maximum Pages to be Scanned as high as 1,000,000.
• Bulk updates too: The Page Limit option in Bulk Actions goes up to 1,000,000 as well.

Good to know: Very large audits take longer to process, and some reports, such as Browser Logs, may not load for audits this size, however you can view all insights in Reports.

We've refreshed the light and dark themes and cleaned up how pages look and behave across the app.
​

What's New:

• Refreshed light and dark themes: Colors stay consistent from page to page in both modes.
• Consistent controls: Buttons, tables, tabs, search, modals and filter bars work the same way everywhere.
• New log-in screen: Updated styling with a new animated background.

Switch themes: Open the Settings menu in the top bar and select Theme Toggle, or press t.

Enjoy!

Consent category, risk level, vendor, and removal guidance for every cookie and tag ObservePoint finds.

You run a scan and a cookie named lidc comes back, or a tag from a campaign you're fairly sure ended months ago. Figuring out what it was meant Googling the name, checking Cookiepedia, and asking the marketing team, then getting three answers that didn't agree.

The Cookie & Tag Database is built into ObservePoint. Search any cookie or tag by name, including ones that have never shown up in your reports, and you'll see:

• What it does, in plain language and in technical detail
• The vendor who created it, with links to their site and privacy policy
• The consent category most companies assign it
• A risk level, and the reasoning behind that rating
• How to remove it
• References you can cite

Every definition is reviewed by a person on our team, based on what we observe on real enterprise sites.

It shows up where you already work

Definitions appear in audit and journey reports, grid reports, HAR Analyzer, LiveConnect, tag rules, and consent categories. In grid reports, definition fields behave like any other column, so you can filter, sort, group, search, and export them.

Add your own record on top

Create custom fields for legal approver, technical owner, review date, or internal notes, and attach them to ObservePoint's definitions. You can also create your own definitions for the cookies and tags specific to your organization. "Who approved this?" stops living in a spreadsheet only one person can find.

Getting started

Open Cookie & Tag Database from the main navigation, or select a cookie or tag in any report to jump to its definition.

The library, definition detail pages, and matching criteria are available on Contract accounts. Sample and Free accounts see definitions in context inside reports.

Now Live: API Key Manager

We’ve rebuilt how API credentials work in ObservePoint to give you tighter security, clearer visibility, and much more control over your integrations.

What’s New

• Multiple, Named Keys: Create unique keys for specific tools, partner scripts, or internal jobs. If you need to rotate one credential, you can regenerate it without breaking any other active integrations.
• Tighter Security: Keys are now shown only once at creation, no plain-text credentials sit on profile pages anymore.
• Usage & Expirations: Track when a key was last used before revoking it, and set optional expiration dates with automatic email reminders before keys lapse.
• Admin Controls: Admins get a full, account-wide view of every key in the account and can set up credentials for specific identities without sharing logins.

What About Existing Keys?

• Zero Breakage: All existing API keys will continue to work as normal.
• Hidden Values: Plain-text values are no longer displayed on your profile. If you lose a credential value, simply generate a new key.

How to Access It Find the new Key Manager under the Settings gear and select API Keys or via the API Access card on your profile page.

Archived Items is here! 🎉

We are excited to announce that Archived Items is officially live.

Now, deleting an Audit or Journey safely archives it instead of wiping it out permanently, giving your team a built-in safety net.
​

What you can do with it:

• Instant Restores: Account Admins can head to Settings → Archived Items to browse or search for removed items and bring them back to any active folder in seconds.
• Zero Data Loss: Restored items return exactly as they were. Your schedules resume automatically, and all associated labels, integrations, and historical run data are preserved.
• Fearless Workspace Cleanups: Deleting an entire folder will now archive its contents rather than destroying them, allowing you to organize your digital property without the risk of losing critical monitoring setups.

No more support wait times or lost work. Account Admins can try it out today under Settings → Archived Items.

Building a grid report just got a lot more forgiving. You can now Undo and Redo configuration changes — columns, filters, sorting, charts — right from the Save Report action area, or with the keyboard shortcuts you already know (⌘/Ctrl + Z, ⌘ + Shift + Z / Ctrl + Y).

No more reloading the whole report to back out one mistake. Step back through your recent changes, reapply anything you undid, and keep editing — all without saving.
