Pull request overview
Updates the Aspire Dashboard overview documentation to reflect the current AI-debugging model by clarifying how external AI agents access dashboard telemetry via the Aspire MCP server, and by pointing readers to the dedicated agent workflow guide.
Changes:
- Added a new MCP server section explaining that dashboard telemetry can be exposed to external AI coding agents via the Aspire MCP server.
- Added a Using agents with the dashboard subsection linking to
/dashboard/ai-coding-agents/for end-to-end setup/examples. - Added a
TODO(screenshot)note intended to prompt adding an external-agent workflow screenshot.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| ### Using agents with the dashboard | ||
|
|
||
| Use AI coding agents with the dashboard by connecting your agent to Aspire CLI and MCP tools, then letting it query dashboard telemetry as part of debugging workflows. For setup and end-to-end examples, see [AI coding agents and the Aspire Dashboard](/dashboard/ai-coding-agents/). |
|
|
||
| The Aspire dashboard data can be exposed to external AI coding agents through the [Aspire MCP server](/get-started/aspire-mcp-server/). This gives agents access to resource status, structured logs, traces, and console output so they can investigate issues with the same telemetry data you see in the dashboard. | ||
|
|
||
| {/* TODO(screenshot): Before this docs update is shipped, add a screenshot that shows an external agent (for example, GitHub Copilot CLI) calling Aspire/MCP to fetch dashboard data and displaying reasoning/results. Do not use an in-dashboard Copilot chat UI screenshot. */} |

The dashboard overview page no longer reflected the current AI debugging model: Copilot UI-in-dashboard content was removed, but the page still needed explicit agent guidance and a non-misleading screenshot path. This update keeps MCP server coverage, adds agent usage guidance, and removes dependence on outdated in-dashboard Copilot imagery.
