What is the Rollbar MCP Server?
Connect your conversational assistant directly to Rollbar, the premier continuous code error tracking platform. This integration transforms your AI into a proactive site reliability engineer, allowing you to instantly isolate stack traces, track down the origin of critical bugs, and manage your code's lifecycles from a single text interface.
What you can do
- Uncover Critical Bugs — Instruct your assistant to list current active errors (
list_items) or instantly retrieve the highest-impact issues severely affecting your user base (top_active_items). - Dive Deep into Exceptions — Pass a specific error ID to the AI (
get_item) to explore occurrences (list_occurrences) and obtain complete stack trace logs (get_occurrence) to determine precisely where your application failed. - Manage Deployments & Health — Tell the AI to review the history of code deployments (
list_deploys) or seamlessly report a brand-new release tied to a specific Git commit directly into the monitoring dashboard (report_deploy). - Orchestrate Resolution — Did you fix the problem? Direct the assistant to change the bug's status and automatically resolve or mute the error ticket (
update_item).
How it works
- Launch the Rollbar tool natively inside your configured MCP environment.
- Sign in to your Rollbar developer dashboard, browse to your Project Access Tokens, and generate a key packed with read and write permissions.
- Paste that
Rollbar Access Tokendirectly within the protection form below to complete the connection. - Interact organically: "List the top active errors in production, and fetch the stack trace for the most frequent one."
Who is this for?
- Site Reliability Engineers — Rapidly detect if a newly deployed commit introduced unexpected bugs by comparing deployment logs automatically with the AI.
- Software Developers — Fetch complete stack traces from the production server into your IDE chat window to debug problems effortlessly.
- Engineering Managers — Monitor deployment frequencies and resolve fixed bug tickets manually by just typing the order without dealing with complex filters.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Rollbar data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can the assistant manipulate or modify my raw stack trace data?
No, raw occurrence logs and stack traces are absolutely immutable in Rollbar to preserve forensic tracking accuracy. The AI can pull the detailed traces efficiently for you using tools like get_occurrence, but it cannot rewrite history or change the raw context data of any logged exception. It can only adjust the top-level ticket 'status' (resolving or muting) via the update_item operation.
Is possible to correlate an unexpected increase of exceptions immediately with a software deploy?
Yes! The conversational integration empowers exactly this workflow natively. You can instruct the assistant to retrieve the newest deployment records (list_deploys), and then read the high-frequency active exceptions concurrently listed on the top items (top_active_items). The AI can parse these timelines inside the chat log organically and identify patterns that align with the specific revision uploaded to production.
Can the AI filter errors by environment (e.g., production vs. staging)?
Yes. The list_items tool accepts an environment parameter, so you can ask the AI to show only production errors, staging errors, or any other custom environment you have configured in Rollbar.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
