Connect Sentry to Cursor via MCP: Issues and Events

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → Sentry, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

Sentry + Cursor

Inspect Sentry projects, issues, and error events.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN, SENTRY_ORG

Step 1 — Get credentials

Connect to Sentry's hosted REST API to investigate projects, issues, and error events using four read-only tools.

Setup: Create a Sentry personal authentication token under User settings > Personal Tokens with org:read and event:read scopes. Supply it as SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN, and your organization ID or URL slug (the acme in sentry.io/organizations/acme) as SENTRY_ORG, when configuring this connector. The organization goes into every path for you, so no tool asks the model for it. org:read permits listing organization projects; event:read permits reading issues and their events. Access remains limited by the token owner's permissions. Authentication uses the Authorization: Bearer header. …

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Sentry is listed and "Connected".
4. Start chatting — all Sentry tools are now invokable.
