Sentry MCP servers: which one to use
Use Sentry's own server unless you run self-hosted Sentry and want a read-only option. Then pick selfhosted-sentry-mcp.

Sentry makes its own MCP server. It runs as a hosted service you sign in to with your Sentry account, and you can also run it on your machine with an access token. It is built for developers who debug with a coding assistant such as Cursor or Claude Code. If you run self-hosted Sentry and want to block writes, selfhosted-sentry-mcp has a read-only switch. The old reference server from the MCP project is archived, so skip it.
Good for
- Developers who want Cursor or Claude Code to look up the stack trace for a Sentry error
- Teams on self-hosted Sentry who need a server that talks to their own host
- Engineers who want an AI to read issues but not change their status
- Anyone who wants a small single-file server without Node
Which Sentry MCP server to use
Use Sentry's own server for sentry.io. For self-hosted Sentry, pick selfhosted-sentry-mcp and turn on its read-only setting, or sentry-mcp-rs for a small Rust binary.

Questions
Is there an official Sentry MCP server?
Yes. Sentry publishes it in the getsentry/toolkit repository and hosts it at mcp.sentry.dev. It is built for coding assistants such as Cursor and Claude Code.
What is the Sentry MCP server URL?
https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp. You can add your organization slug, or the organization and project slugs, to the end of the address to limit what the assistant can see.
Does the Sentry MCP server need an API key?
Not for the hosted server. Every connection signs you in with your Sentry account. The local @sentry/mcp-server package signs in with auth login or uses a user auth token with the scopes listed in the README.
Can I limit what the Sentry server can do?
Partly. The hosted server accepts a list of skills in the address to narrow the tools it offers, and the local server has a matching setting. For a plain read-only switch, selfhosted-sentry-mcp has one: set SENTRY_READ_ONLY=true. Use its read-only token scopes too.
Which Sentry server works with self-hosted Sentry?
The official local package works with self-hosted Sentry when you set SENTRY_HOST, and Seer is left out because self-hosted Sentry does not include it. selfhosted-sentry-mcp and sentry-mcp-rs are also built for your own host.
Which Sentry server is lightest?
sentry-mcp-rs. It is a single Rust program with 3 tools, and its README claims 10x less memory than the official Node.js server.
Why do some Sentry tools need an OpenAI or Anthropic key?
In the official local package, the natural-language search tools use an LLM provider (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter) to turn your question into a Sentry query. Without one, those tools are unavailable and the others still work.
Should I use the old Sentry server from the MCP project?
No. The reference mcp-server-sentry sits in the MCP project's archive of servers that are no longer maintained. It had a single tool for fetching one issue. Use Sentry's own server instead.
What licenses do the Sentry MCP servers use?
The official server's repository is under FSL-1.1-ALv2 and the community servers here are MIT licensed, per PlugWiki's repository data. All of them need a Sentry account, and the search tools in the official local package need an OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key.
