  4. 4Save the file, then fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

Before you start

  • A Sentry account (SaaS or self-hosted) with access to the org/projects you want to query
  • For the hosted server: an MCP client that supports remote MCP over HTTP with OAuth (the OAuth flow runs in your browser)
  • For the local stdio variant: Node.js plus a Sentry User Auth Token with scopes such as org:read, project:read/write, team:read/write, and event:write
  • Seer must be enabled on your Sentry org to use the AI root-cause analysis tool

Sentry MCP Server (remote) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Where is the Claude Desktop config file?

Claude Desktop reads MCP servers from ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Paste the Sentry MCP Server (remote) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Sentry MCP Server (remote) safe to use with Claude Desktop?

The OAuth grant exposes your Sentry org's error and trace data, which can contain PII captured in events; review scopes before approving. For the stdio fallback, treat SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN as a secret.

Is the Sentry MCP server official?

Yes. It is built and maintained by Sentry (getsentry/sentry-mcp) and is licensed Apache-2.0.

Do I need an API key for the hosted server?

No. The hosted server at mcp.sentry.dev uses OAuth, so you authenticate in the browser rather than pasting a token. A user auth token is only needed for the local stdio variant.

Remote vs local: which should I use?

Use the hosted remote server for the simplest setup and OAuth auth. Use the local @sentry/mcp-server stdio variant if your client lacks remote-OAuth support or you want a self-contained process.
