What is a Sentry MCP server?

It’s an MCP server that exposes data and functionality from Sentry via tools. Your agents can use these tools to update issues, list issues created within a certain timeframe, bulk delete old issues, and more.

You can use Sentry’s official MCP server or one that’s provided by a 3rd-party, like Merge.

How can I use the Sentry MCP server?

Here are some common use cases:

• Automated issue triage and routing: When a new Sentry issue appears, your agent can classify it and assign it to the right team or on-call, based on ownership rules and recent history
  

• Create an incident “packet” for on-call: Your agent can pull the error, stack trace, release version, and recent deploy context from Sentry, and then post a clean summary into Slack or an incident channel with suggested next steps
  

• Detect release regressions and roll back faster: After a deploy, your agent can monitor new spikes in errors tied to the release, identify top new issues, and trigger a rollback recommendation or open a “release regression” ticket automatically
  

• Duplicate and noise reduction: Your agent can review new issues, compare them to existing ones, and auto-merge duplicates or mark noisy issues for de-prioritization, keeping the queue clean
  

• Performance and latency troubleshooting: Your agent can watch Sentry performance traces for slow endpoints, identify the worst offenders, and file a weekly “top regressions” report with suggested owners

What makes Merge Agent Handler’s Sentry MCP server better than alternative Sentry MCP servers?

Merge Agent Handler's Sentry MCP server offers rich, platform-level capabilities:

• Managed authentication and credential handling: Agent Handler guides users through authentication and securely manages credentials for connected tools
  

• Enterprise-grade security and DLP: Tool inputs and outputs are scanned for sensitive data, with configurable rules to block, redact, or mask data
  

• Real-time observability and auditability: Every tool call is logged with a fully-searchable audit trail for debugging, monitoring, and compliance
  

• Evaluation Suite for reliability: Test and validate Sentry tool behavior before deploying to production, so your team can ship higher-quality connectors and a more consistent end-user experience

Can I set custom security rules for Sentry tool calls in Merge Agent Handler?

Yes, Merge Agent Handler includes a security gateway with data loss protection (DLP) that lets you apply default or custom rules to tool inputs and responses. These rules can block, redact, or mask sensitive data during agent-initiated tool calls, including those to Sentry.

Here are some examples of rules you can set:

• Redact PII from Sentry issue descriptions and comments. If a tool call attempts to write an email address, phone number, SSN-like pattern, or credit card-like pattern into an issue description or comment, automatically redact it
  

• Mask customer identifiers when reading Sentry events. When a tool retrieves event payloads, stack traces, request bodies, or user context, mask fields like user.id and any internal customer ID patterns before returning results to your agent
  

• Limit writes to Sentry to approved projects only. Deny any tool call that creates or updates issues outside an allowlist of Sentry project slugs or project IDs (this is useful when you have multiple environments or customer-specific projects)
  

• Enforce “no external links” in issue content. Block issue/comment writes that include non-allowlisted domains. For example, prevent agents from pasting links to unapproved pastebins or file-sharing sites into Sentry issues

How can I start using Merge Agent Handler’s Sentry MCP server?

You can follow these steps:

1. Create or log into your Merge Agent Handler account.

2. Create a Tool Pack for the workflow you want (for example, “Incident triage” or “Release monitoring”). Tool Packs define which connectors and tools your agent can access.

3. Add the Sentry connector to that Tool Pack and choose the tools you want exposed (for example, read-only tools for investigation, plus write tools if you want the agent to create/update issues).

4. Create a Registered User for the identity your agent will act as (end user or service account). This is the container that holds credentials used for tool execution.

5. Authenticate Sentry for that Registered User using Agent Handler’s managed authentication flow, so credentials are stored and handled securely

6. Copy the MCP endpoint URL for your Tool Pack and Registered User and paste it into your MCP client.

7. Run a few test tool calls, then verify behavior using Agent Handler’s logs/audit trail and observability views.

8. (Optional) Add security/DLP rules for Sentry tool calls (block, redact, or mask sensitive data) before using it in production.
