| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Optional provider API keys are supplied through environment variables, while many sources work without keys. MCP HTTP client authentication is not documented. | The hosted service uses MCP OAuth layered over Sentry OAuth; raw Sentry credentials stay server-side. Stdio uses a Sentry user auth token and may also require OpenAI or Anthropic credentials for AI-powered search. |
| Cost | The open-source server lists many free or no-key sources. Optional provider APIs can impose separate charges or limits; no complete service price is documented. | The repository is source-available under its published license and the hosted MCP has no separately documented fee in the reviewed sources. Normal Sentry plan/usage, Seer, and external LLM-provider charges may apply. |
| Permissions | Queries CVE, IP, domain, hash, package, malware, threat-intelligence, and code-search providers; maintains local cache and audit data. URLScan submission is the documented write-like exception. | Hosted OAuth requests org:read, project:write, team:write, and event:write upstream, then narrows exposed actions through granted MCP skills and optional /mcp/:org/:project resource paths. Stdio documentation lists org/project/team read/write and event write token scopes. |
| Data handling | CVE IDs, IPs, hashes, domains, and package names can be sent to external APIs, and responses are cached in local SQLite. The publisher says API keys and response payloads are excluded from audit logs; no telemetry and no inbound ports are documented. | Issue, event, trace, release, team, project, and related telemetry may be returned to the MCP client. Hosted mode stores upstream OAuth credentials in encrypted grant properties and gives the client a separate MCP token. AI search tools may process query/event context through configured model infrastructure. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Broad external intelligence fan-out sends queried indicators off-host; URLScan can submit URLs, and HTTP mode can expose a service endpoint. Keep queries non-sensitive where possible, preserve the documented private-IP blocking, and restrict HTTP exposure. | Production error telemetry often contains sensitive values, while upstream OAuth scopes include write capabilities. Prefer a project-constrained hosted URL, minimal granted skills, human approval for mutations, and prior telemetry scrubbing. |
