| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | 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. | Stdio has no separate authentication. The documented HTTP transport has no authentication; the publisher recommends localhost, SSH tunneling, or an authenticating reverse proxy. |
| Cost | 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. | The MIT-licensed server lists no MCP fee. Windows Debugging Tools and symbol-network use are external requirements. |
| Permissions | 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. | Launches CDB or KD, reads crash dumps, attaches to user-mode remote and kernel targets, runs arbitrary WinDbg or KD commands, and can interrupt live sessions. |
| Data handling | 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. | Dump contents, symbol paths, commands, and outputs can be returned to the client or model. Filter scripts can redact text before it leaves the host; symbol retrieval may use Microsoft symbol services. Retention is not documented. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | 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. | Crash dumps can contain secrets or PII, and arbitrary debugger or kernel commands can affect live systems. Keep HTTP loopback-only or behind authentication, use redaction filters, and supervise remote and kernel sessions. |
