Agentic Usage

AI coding agents like Claude Code can use the Sentry CLI through the skill system. This allows agents to interact with Sentry directly from your development environment.

Adding the Skill

Add the Sentry CLI skill to your agent:

Terminal window
npx skills add https://cli.sentry.dev

This registers the Sentry CLI as a skill that your agent can invoke when needed.

Capabilities

With this skill, agents can:

  • View issues - List and inspect Sentry issues from your projects
  • Inspect events - Look at specific error events and their details
  • AI analysis - Get root cause analysis and fix plans via Seer AI
  • Browse projects - List projects and organizations you have access to
  • Explore the API - Browse API endpoints with sentry schema and make arbitrary requests with sentry api
  • Make API calls - Execute arbitrary Sentry API requests
  • Authenticate - Help you set up CLI authentication

How It Works

When you ask your agent about Sentry errors or want to investigate an issue, the agent uses CLI commands to fetch real data from your Sentry account. For example:

  • "Show me the latest issues in my project" → sentry issue list
  • "What's the stack trace for ISSUE-123?" → sentry issue view ISSUE-123
  • "List all projects in my organization" → sentry project list my-org
  • "What API endpoints exist for releases?" → sentry schema releases

The CLI has dedicated commands for most Sentry tasks, so agents should prefer sentry commands over constructing raw API calls. The sentry schema command provides built-in API exploration, and sentry api handles authenticated requests for anything not covered by a dedicated command.

The skill uses your existing CLI authentication, so you'll need to run sentry auth login first if you haven't already.

Requirements

  • An authenticated Sentry CLI installation (sentry auth login)
  • An AI coding agent that supports the skills system (e.g., Claude Code)
