Sentry's official MCP service runs as remote infrastructure at mcp.sentry.dev and ships a Claude Code plugin that auto-delegates Sentry questions. The Claude Code plugin (`claude plugin install sentry-mcp@sentry-mcp`) installs a sub-agent that Claude routes Sentry queries to automatically; that auto-delegation removes a class of context-switching friction. AI-powered search tools (`search_events`, `search_issues`) require an OpenAI or Anthropic API key configured through `EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER`; the underlying tools translate natural language into Sentry's query syntax. The license is FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0: Functional Source License with a two-year delay before converting to Apache-2.0. For commercial users, the FSL terms warrant a procurement review. Active release cadence (37 releases shipped, 41 commits in the last 30 days) and the official getsentry org placement make this the canonical observability MCP.

INSTALL THIS SERVER

Requires authenticationHosted: Sentry OAuth flow at mcp.sentry.dev. Self-hosted: User Auth Token with org:read, project:read, project:write, team:read, team:write, event:write scopes.
{ "mcpServers": { "sentry": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@sentry/mcp-server" ], "env": { "SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token", "EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER": "openai", "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..." } } } }
PrereqRecommended: use the hosted remote MCP at https://mcp.sentry.dev for SaaS Sentry. For self-hosted Sentry, configure stdio with SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN + EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER (openai or anthropic) + provider API key. Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS).

OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Official Sentry-maintained MCP with active release cadence (37 releases shipped, 41 commits in the last 30 days).
  • Hosted remote MCP at mcp.sentry.dev (zero local install for the SaaS path).
  • Claude Code plugin delivers automatic sub-agent delegation for Sentry queries.
  • Built on patterns from Cloudflare's remote MCP work.
  • Self-hosted Sentry path exists via `--host=sentry.example.com`.
  • Skill-based capability gating via `--disable-skills` for targeted deployments.
Weaknesses
  • Functional Source License has commercial-use restrictions for two years before converting to Apache-2.0.
  • AI-powered search tools require a paid LLM provider key (OpenAI or Anthropic) configured via `EMBEDDED_AGENT_PROVIDER`.
  • Some skills (Seer) unavailable on self-hosted instances.
Security Notes

The remote service uses Sentry standard OAuth flow. For the stdio transport, scope the User Auth Token to the minimum required: org:read, project:read, project:write, team:read, team:write, event:write. FSL license terms require commercial users to verify the two-year delay before redistribution. For self-hosted Sentry without TLS, `--insecure-http` is available but should only run on isolated internal networks.

Best For

Teams already on Sentry for error monitoring and performance tracing, Claude Code users wanting automatic Sentry delegation via plugin, and self-hosted Sentry operators using stdio transport.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
