TaglineOfficial Sentry MCP server: give Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agents real access to your errors, traces, and triage.Reference MCP server for querying and analyzing SQLite databases through Claude and other MCP clients.

PricingFreemium· Free: $0 USD · Team: $4 USD per user/month · Enterprise: $21 USD per user/monthFree· Free / open source (MIT). No usage fees; runs locally against a SQLite file you control.
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 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
  • Zero-config local database access for any MCP client — point it at a .db file and Claude can query, schema-introspect and write immediately.
  • Clean, minimal tool surface (six tools) that maps cleanly to how an LLM actually reasons about a database.
  • Novel `append_insight` + `memo://insights` pattern gives the model a persistent scratchpad for multi-turn analysis.
  • MIT-licensed and open source, so it doubles as a canonical example for building your own MCP server.
  • Multiple install paths — uv, Docker, VS Code one-click — cover most developer setups.
  • No API keys, no cloud, no per-query cost; everything runs on your machine against a file you own.
Cons
  • 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
  • Repository was archived on 29 May 2025 — no more upstream fixes, security patches or new features.
  • Exposes `write_query` and `create_table` to the model, so a careless prompt can mutate or drop data; there is no built-in read-only mode or row-level safety.
  • SQLite-only — no Postgres, MySQL, DuckDB or cloud-warehouse support; you need a different MCP server for those.
  • No authentication, quota or audit layer; intended for local single-user use, not shared/multi-tenant deployments.
  • Insight-memo state lives in the running server process, so it does not survive restarts or multiple concurrent clients cleanly.
