What is Sentry Mcp Server

Sentry MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Sentry error tracking into your development workflow, allowing you to access Sentry release health data and issue details directly within your MCP-enabled environment.

Use cases

Use cases include monitoring application stability, investigating specific errors, managing release health, and enhancing the development workflow by providing real-time insights into error tracking.

How to use

To use Sentry MCP Server, clone the repository, install dependencies, build the server, and configure your MCP client to include the server’s executable path in its settings.

Key features

Key features include release monitoring, release health statistics, detailed issue investigation, targeted issue listing for specific releases, flexible connection options for both Sentry.io and self-hosted instances, and server inspection tools.

Where to use

Sentry MCP Server is used in software development environments, particularly those that utilize Sentry for error tracking and require integration with development tools like VS Code.

Sentry MCP Server

Integrate Sentry error tracking directly into your development workflow with this Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

Gain insights into your application’s stability by accessing Sentry release health data and issue details without leaving your MCP-enabled environment (like VS Code with the Cline extension).

Key Features

• Release Monitoring: List recent releases and view their associated new issue counts.
• Release Health: Get detailed statistics for specific releases, including crash-free rates and session counts.
• Issue Investigation: Fetch detailed information about specific Sentry issues by their ID.
• Targeted Issue Listing: Retrieve all issues associated with a particular release version.
• Flexible Connection: Works with both Sentry.io (cloud) and self-hosted Sentry instances.
• Server Inspection: Includes a tool to verify configuration and server status.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:
   Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/srcgrp/sentry-mcp-server.git
   cd sentry-mcp-server
   

2. Install Dependencies & Build:
   Install the necessary dependencies and build the server:

   npm install
   npm run build 
   

   This will create the executable server script in the build/ directory.

3. Configure MCP Client:
   Add the server to your MCP client’s configuration file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json for Cline). Make sure to use the absolute path to the built index.js file:

   Restart your MCP client (e.g., reload VS Code) after modifying the settings.

4. Create .env File:
   In the root directory of the cloned sentry-mcp-server project, create a .env file with the following required variables:

   # Required Sentry Credentials & Configuration
   SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN"  # Generate from Sentry > User Settings > API Keys
   SENTRY_BASE_URL="YOUR_SENTRY_API_ENDPOINT" # e.g., https://sentry.io/api/0/ or https://your-sentry-instance.com/api/0/
   SENTRY_ORG_SLUG="your-organization-slug"   # Your Sentry organization slug
   

   Replace the placeholder values with your actual Sentry details.

Configuration Details

The server relies on these environment variables (typically set in the .env file):

• SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN (Required): Your Sentry API authentication token. Grants the server permission to access your Sentry data.
• SENTRY_BASE_URL (Required): The base URL for the Sentry API. For Sentry.io cloud users, this is usually https://sentry.io/api/0/. For self-hosted instances, use your instance’s API endpoint.
• SENTRY_ORG_SLUG (Required): The unique identifier (slug) for your organization within Sentry. This is used as the default organization for API calls unless overridden in specific tool arguments.
