Featured how-tos
Step-by-step guides with screenshots, UI callouts, and video slots.
- Set up your first watch — trial, suggestion, baseline snapshot
- Connect MCP in Cursor — offline tools + hosted proxy
- Add DriftGuard to GitHub Actions — preview then enforce coverage
- MockDrift drift replay — seven steps with screenshots
Create your first watch
Full walkthrough with numbered steps and console screenshots: first watch how-to →
Enforce CI coverage
Full walkthrough: GitHub Actions how-to → or the CI setup wizard.
Monitor MCP tool catalogs
Connect agents first: MCP in Cursor how-to →. Then point a watch at tools/list and enable breaking-only alerts under Alerts.
Compare OpenAPI specs locally
Use the free browser diff tool or OSS CLI:
driftguard openapi-diff base.json target.json --fail-on-breakingAdd a vendor from the catalog
Open the console catalog for Stripe, GitHub, Twilio templates — one click creates a watch with the right snapshot strategy.
MockDrift agent drift replay
Step-by-step with screenshots: install MockDrift, run local demos, enable mockdrift_cloud, and wire --simulate-drift in GitHub Actions.
FuseGuard loop fuse
Wrap agents locally, ingest trips, correlate with hosted drift, and run on-demand snapshots bound to tripId.
ToolChange manifest lint
Export tools.json, lint in CI with the GitHub Action, and optional pre-commit hook — no watches required.
SchemaSync draft PRs
Connect the GitHub App, receive drift webhooks, and open draft PRs with optional ToolChange lint on the branch.
