What is Sentry Mcp Stdio

sentry-mcp-stdio is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for interacting with Sentry. It provides tools to interact with the Sentry API, enabling AI assistants to retrieve and analyze error data, manage projects, and monitor application performance.

Use cases

Use cases include integrating with AI assistants for automated error analysis, managing Sentry projects programmatically, and monitoring application performance metrics in real-time.

How to use

To use sentry-mcp-stdio, install the required dependencies using npm or yarn, and configure it within your IDE or with Claude by adding the necessary command and authentication token in the settings.

Key features

Key features include listing accessible Sentry projects, resolving issue details using short IDs, and retrieving specific Sentry events for analysis. It supports various output formats and view types.

Where to use

sentry-mcp-stdio can be used in software development environments, particularly for teams utilizing Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring in their applications.

Note - This has largely been superceded by the Sentry Remote-MCP Server which supports a lot more capabilities (auth, better tooling, etc…). This one exists for educational purposes as a standalone MCP server; but in all likelihood you’ll want to use the remote. You can see it live at https://mcp.sentry.dev
