[ MCP SERVER SUMMARY ]
Sentry MCP server summary
Sentry's MCP service helps coding agents investigate errors, issues, traces, and application health. Use the hosted remote endpoint or STDIO for self-hosted Sentry. Bifrost governs which Sentry tools each engineer can call and logs every debug action.
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Company | Sentry |
| Connection type | HTTP |
| Authentication | OAuth or Sentry user auth token |
| Package or endpoint | https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp |
| Capabilities | Issue and error investigation, Trace and performance tools, Seer and triage skills |
| Official documentation | Sentry MCP documentation |
Before you start
- A Sentry org
- OAuth via mcp.sentry.dev or a user auth token for STDIO/header auth
What you can do with Sentry
- Let coding agents pull stack traces during PR review through Bifrost
- Use Sentry-Bearer header auth for remote clients that support custom headers
- Disable Seer skills on self-hosted if unsupported
[ HOW TO CONNECT ]
Connect Sentry to Bifrost in three steps
Install Bifrost
Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.
npx -y @maximhq/bifrost
Add Sentry in MCP Gateway
Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and choose HTTP. Or register via the API below.
• Hosted: https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp with OAuth.
• STDIO alternative: npx @sentry/mcp-server@latest --access-token=... for self-hosted.
• Header auth may use Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <token> (not standard Bearer).
Point clients at Bifrost /mcp
Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Sentry.

}'[ WHY BIFROST ]
Run Sentry through one governed gateway
Access control
Virtual keys, RBAC, and tool allowlists per team or agent.
Cost governance
Attribute MCP tool spend alongside LLM usage in one view.
Observability
Log every tool call with latency, server, and virtual key metadata.
Credential isolation
Upstream secrets stay in the gateway — not on every laptop.
[ FAQ ]
Common questions
What does the Sentry MCP server do?
Sentry exposes issue and error investigation, trace and performance tools, seer and triage skills to MCP-compatible AI clients. Bifrost connects to it as an upstream MCP client and exposes approved tools through one governed /mcp endpoint.
How does Sentry authenticate when used with Bifrost?
Sentry uses OAuth or Sentry user auth token. Store credentials in Bifrost's environment or credential configuration so they stay at the gateway instead of being copied into every AI client.
Can Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code use Sentry through Bifrost?
Yes. After registering Sentry in Bifrost, point any HTTP MCP-compatible client at the Bifrost /mcp endpoint and authenticate with a virtual key. The client sees only the tools allowed for that key.
