TaglineOfficial TypeScript SDK for building Model Context Protocol servers and clients.Official Sentry MCP server: give Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agents real access to your errors, traces, and triage.
CategoryMCP ServersMCP Servers
PricingFree· Free and open source (Apache 2.0 for new contributions; older code MIT).Freemium· Free: $0 USD · Team: $4 USD per user/month · Enterprise: $21 USD per user/month
ModelBring-your-own LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or OpenRouter) for natural-language search skills; agent-side model is whatever your MCP client runs.

Pros
  • Official reference implementation — tracks new MCP spec revisions faster than community SDKs
  • Covers both server and client sides in one package family, so agents and tools share types
  • Standard Schema support means you can bring Zod, Valibot or ArkType instead of a proprietary validator
  • Middleware adapters for Express, Fastify, Hono and node:http make hosted deployment straightforward
  • First-class Node, Bun and Deno runtime support
  • Built-in OAuth 2.1 helpers remove most of the auth boilerplate for remote servers
  • Apache 2.0 / MIT licensing is friendly for commercial and closed-source use
  • Official first-party server from Sentry — kept in step with API changes, not a community wrapper
  • Both a hosted remote endpoint (mcp.sentry.dev, OAuth or Bearer) and a local stdio binary via npx
  • Works with self-hosted Sentry, not only sentry.io
  • One-line install for Claude Code through the Sentry plugin marketplace; also documented for Cursor and MCP Inspector
  • Fine-grained skill toggles let you scope which tools the agent can call
  • Covers the full debugging loop: issues, events, traces, search, and triage actions like assign/resolve/comment
  • Open source, so the tool surface and prompts can be audited or extended
Cons
  • MCP itself is young and the spec still shifts — v2 (2026-07-28) is a breaking change from v1 servers
  • Documentation is improving but examples still lag Python SDK coverage for advanced patterns
  • TypeScript-only — teams on Go, Rust or PHP need a different SDK or a thin wrapper
  • Streamable HTTP transport is newer than stdio and has fewer battle-tested production references
  • You still write, deploy and secure the server yourself; the SDK does not provide hosting or a registry
  • You still need a paid Sentry plan to get useful volumes of events, retention, and org seats
  • Natural-language search tools require you to bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure/OpenRouter key — extra cost and setup
  • Value collapses if your team is not already invested in Sentry as its error/APM backend
  • Remote server is single-tenant per token — sharing across a team means each engineer wires their own auth
  • MCP itself is still young; some clients handle remote servers with headers imperfectly and stdio is often the fallback
  • Read/write tools mean a misbehaving agent can resolve or reassign real issues — human-in-the-loop is not optional
