How do I create a Sentry Internal Integration Token?

Go to your [**Sentry Organization Settings**](https://sentry.io/settings/), select **API Keys** > **Create New Integration**. Name it (e.g. 'Vinkius MCP'), select the scopes you need (recommended: `org:read`, `project:read`, `event:read`, `team:read`, `release:read`), and click **Save**. Copy the token immediately — it starts with `sntrys_` and won't be shown again.

Can I resolve or mute an issue directly from the agent?

Yes! Use the `update_issue` action with the issue's numeric ID and set `status` to `resolved` (marks it fixed), `muted` (hides it from the inbox) or `deleted` (removes it permanently). You can also reassign issues using the `assigned_to` parameter.

What Sentry query syntax does the search support?

Sentry uses its own query syntax. Common filters include: `is:unresolved` (open issues), `is:resolved` (fixed issues), `priority:[1-50]` (priority levels), `first_release:1.2.3` (issues introduced in a specific release), `user.email:example@co.com` (errors affecting a specific user). You can combine filters: `is:unresolved priority:50`.

Sentry Alternative + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sentry Alternative MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
