FAQ from Rollbar MCP Server
What tokens are required and why?
ROLLBAR_PROJECT_TOKEN is needed for project-level APIs (items, occurrences, environments, deploys). ROLLBAR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN is needed for account-level APIs (projects, users). For full functionality, both tokens are recommended, but individual APIs work with only the relevant token.
How do I obtain Rollbar access tokens?
Log in to your Rollbar account, go to Settings > Project Access Tokens (for project tokens) or Settings > Account Access Tokens (for account tokens), and create a new token with "read" scope.
Which APIs require each token?
A table in the README maps each tool to its required token. For example, rollbar_list_items requires ROLLBAR_PROJECT_TOKEN, while rollbar_list_projects requires ROLLBAR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN.
Is the project ID mandatory?
No, ROLLBAR_PROJECT_ID is optional. It acts as a default when not specified in requests.
Does this server use any transport besides stdio?
No, the server is configured via command/args in mcp.json, which uses the standard MCP stdio transport. No other transports are mentioned.
