Overview
What is Sentry MCP Server?
Sentry MCP Server integrates Sentry error tracking into your development workflow by providing access to release health data and issue details through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It is designed for developers using MCP-enabled environments like VS Code with the Cline extension.
How to use Sentry MCP Server?
Clone the repository, install dependencies (npm install), build (npm run build), then add the server to your MCP client’s configuration with an absolute path to the built index.js. Create a .env file in the project root with your Sentry credentials (SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN, SENTRY_BASE_URL, SENTRY_ORG_SLUG). Restart your MCP client to load the server.

FAQ from Sentry MCP Server
What data can I access with this server?
You can access release lists, release health statistics (crash-free rates, session counts), issue details, and issues per release. All data comes from the Sentry API.
Can I use a self-hosted Sentry instance?
Yes. Set SENTRY_BASE_URL to your instance’s API endpoint (e.g., https://your-sentry-instance.com/api/0/). The server supports both cloud and self-hosted environments.
What environment variables are required?
Three variables: SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN (API token from Sentry), SENTRY_BASE_URL (API endpoint), and SENTRY_ORG_SLUG (your organization slug). These are typically set in a .env file in the project root.
How do I verify the server is working?
Use the inspect_sentry tool (no arguments needed). It returns configuration details, available capabilities, and environment info to confirm the connection to Sentry is successful.
What transport does this server use?
The server communicates via MCP over stdio, as configured in the MCP client settings (command node with the path to build/index.js).
