export-sentry-issue-mcp 0.1.1

An MCP server for exporting Sentry issues to plain text files

Export Sentry Issue MCP Server

繁體中文版 (Traditional Chinese)

An Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for exporting Sentry issues to plain text files. This server provides tools that allow AI assistants like Claude to help you export and analyze Sentry error reports.

Features

• 🔧 MCP Tools for Sentry issue management
• 🤖 Auto-triggered when you mention Sentry URLs or issue numbers
• 🔐 Secure Configuration with file permissions (600)
• 📝 Rich Export Format including stack traces, breadcrumbs, spans, and context
• 🚀 Multiple Transport Modes (STDIO and HTTP/SSE)
• 🐳 Docker Support for easy deployment

Installation

Requirements: Python 3.10 or higher

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install export-sentry-issue-mcp

From Source

cd packages/export-sentry-issue-mcp
pip install -e .

Usage

Running the Server

STDIO Mode (Default)

For use with Claude Desktop or other MCP clients:

export-sentry-issue-mcp

HTTP/SSE Mode

For web-based integration:

export-sentry-issue-mcp --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3001

Claude Code Configuration (Recommended)

Step 1: Build Docker Image

cd packages/export-sentry-issue-mcp
docker build -t export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest .

Step 2: Add MCP Server

claude mcp add export-sentry-issue -- docker run -i --rm export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest

Step 3: Verify Installation

claude mcp list

You should see export-sentry-issue in the list.

Step 4: (Optional) Persist Configuration and Save Output Files

To keep your Sentry configuration and save exported files:

claude mcp add export-sentry-issue -- docker run -i --rm \
  -v /path/to/your/config:/root/.config/export-sentry-issue \
  -v /path/to/your/output:/app \
  export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest

Note:

• Replace /path/to/your/config with your config directory (e.g., ~/.config/export-sentry-issue)
• Replace /path/to/your/output with your desired output directory (e.g., ~/sentry-exports)
• Exported files will be saved to the output directory

Claude Desktop Configuration

For Claude Desktop (not Claude Code), add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "export-sentry-issue": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-v",
        "/path/to/your/config:/root/.config/export-sentry-issue",
        "-v",
        "/path/to/your/output:/app",
        "export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/your/config and /path/to/your/output with your actual paths (e.g., ${HOME}/.config/export-sentry-issue and ${HOME}/sentry-exports).

Docker Usage

Build Docker Image

cd packages/export-sentry-issue-mcp
docker build -t export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest .

Run with Docker

docker run -it --rm export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest

Run with Configuration Mount

To persist configuration between runs:

docker run -it --rm \
  -v ~/.config/export-sentry-issue:/root/.config/export-sentry-issue \
  export-sentry-issue-mcp:latest

Getting Required Information

1. Get Auth Token

1. Log in to Sentry
2. Navigate to: Settings → Account → API → Auth Tokens
3. Click Create New Token
4. Set permissions (minimum required):
   • ✅ event:read
5. Copy the generated Token

2. Get Base URL

SaaS version:

https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/{org-slug}/{project-slug}/issues/

Self-hosted version:

https://your-sentry-domain.com/api/0/projects/{org-slug}/{project-slug}/issues/

How to find org-slug and project-slug:

• In Sentry UI, check the browser address bar
• Format: https://sentry.io/organizations/{org-slug}/projects/{project-slug}/

3. Get Issue IDs

• On the Issue detail page, the number at the end of the URL is the Issue ID
• Example: https://sentry.io/organizations/my-org/issues/12345/ → Issue ID is 12345

Security Considerations

⚠️ Important Security Notes:

1. Configuration File Permissions: The server automatically sets configuration file permissions to 600 (owner read/write only)

2. Token Storage: Tokens are stored locally in ~/.config/export-sentry-issue/config.json

3. No Authentication: The MCP server itself does not support authentication - it runs with the privileges of the user running it

4. Sensitive Data: Exported files may contain:

   • User Email and IP addresses
   • Request Headers (Authorization and Cookie are filtered)
   • Code snippets and variable values

   Please handle exported files securely.

Debugging

Using MCP Inspector

Debug your MCP server with the official inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector export-sentry-issue-mcp

Debug Mode

Enable debug mode to save raw JSON responses:

export_issues(
    issue_ids="12345",
    debug=True
)

This will create debug_issue_12345.json files with complete API responses.

Troubleshooting

Error: 403 Forbidden

Cause: Insufficient token permissions

Solution:

1. Recreate Auth Token with event:read permission
2. Verify you are a member of the project

Error: 404 Not Found

Cause: Incorrect Base URL or Issue ID

Solution:

1. Verify Base URL format
2. Check Issue ID exists in Sentry UI
3. Validate org and project names

Missing Breadcrumbs or Request Information

Cause: Sentry SDK features not enabled

Solution:

Enable send_default_pii in your application:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="your-dsn",
    send_default_pii=True,  # Enable Request and User information
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,  # Enable performance tracing
)
