Sentry MCP

Sentry's MCP service is primarily designed for human-in-the-loop coding agents. Our tool selection and priorities are focused on developer workflows and debugging use cases, rather than providing a general-purpose MCP server for all Sentry functionality. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Sentry MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN, EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER, OPENAI_API_KEY, SENTRY_HOST, MCP_DISABLE_SKILLS before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add getsentry-sentry-mcp -- npx -y @sentry/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getsentry-sentry-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sentry/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package @sentry/mcp-server - the @sentry scope differs from the repo owner (getsentry); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.getsentry is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

Set SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN, EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER, OPENAI_API_KEY, SENTRY_HOST, MCP_DISABLE_SKILLS before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
