How to debug production errors with your AI

Connect Sentry to your agent to turn raw error reports into actionable fixes. It handles the data gathering so you can focus on the code.

Short answer

How can my AI help me debug production errors?

Your agent pulls specific stacktraces and event data directly from Sentry to pinpoint exactly where a crash happened. It identifies the culprit code and provides the context you need to fix it. You get a clear path from error report to resolution.

Debugging outcomes

Where your debugging data lands.

The AI organizes Sentry data into these specific outcomes.

TRIAGE

Identified error patterns

The agent scans your recent issues to find recurring crashes. You get a prioritized list of what actually matters.

ANALYSIS

Deep dive context

The AI pulls specific event details and stacktraces. You see the exact line of code that failed.

FIX

Root cause summary

The agent connects the dots between different events. You receive a plain English explanation of why the error occurred.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI flags complex edge cases that require your eyes. You decide when to step in and write the patch.

The workflow

What your AI does when an error occurs.

The agent moves from broad error lists to specific code failures.

  1. Scan for issues

    The agent looks through your Sentry project to find active or recent problems.

    list_issues

  2. Inspect a specific issue

    Once an error is identified, the agent pulls the full details for that specific issue.

    get_issue

  3. Extract event data

    The agent grabs the specific stacktrace and metadata from a single occurrence.

    get_event

  4. Review event history

    The agent looks at multiple occurrences to see if a crash is a one-off or a pattern.

  • List the most recent issues in my production project.

  • Get the details for issue ID 12345 and tell me why it's happening.

  • Look at the events for the latest crash and find the stacktrace.

  • List all events associated with the last reported error to see if it's repeating.

FAQ

How the Sentry debugging works

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the code automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the root cause and provides the context, but you must write and deploy the actual fix.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete issues in Sentry?

    No. The tools only allow the agent to read and list data. It cannot modify or delete your Sentry records.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my Sentry data?

    The AI only sees the data from the specific issues or events you ask it to look at.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Cursor or Claude?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works once you connect the Sentry MCP through Vinkius.

  • 05

    What happens if an error has no stacktrace?

    The agent will report what metadata is available, but it cannot invent a stacktrace that doesn't exist in Sentry.
