Sentry announced the launch of MCP Server Monitoring.
It gives anyone building on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) a clearer view into what’s working (and what’s not) behind the scenes.
“We built this because we needed to debug problems in our own MCP server, and quickly learned they’re the same problems everyone building MCPs is having,” says Cody De Arkland, Head of Developer Experience at Sentry.
“Sentry’s MCP server helps developers debug issues as they build,” he adds. “It turns out people really want that. Soon after launch, our MCP shot past 30 million requests a month. That sort of scale inevitably brings new bugs of its own. Existing monitoring tools struggle with the context of what’s happening in an MCP server. We needed to know things like traffic load and AI client usage, which tools were getting called the most, which were slow or failing, and which inputs were causing things to break. We needed to know all of this without relying on users to tell us.”
With just a few lines of code, Sentry’s MCP monitoring helps dev teams answer questions like:
- Which clients are experiencing errors or using outdated transports in your MCP Server?
- Which tools are getting the most use?
- Which tools are running the slowest; which are erroring out?
- Why are more errors suddenly occurring? Did it start right as traffic spiked, or right after a new release went live?
- Are errors happening because of a change you made, or because a bot is hammering your server with malformed requests?
- Are errors only happening on one type of transport? Are HTTP clients timing out, while stdio is fine?
“MCP is the fastest-growing protocol of the AI era, but when an MCP server breaks it can be tough to figure out what went wrong,” says Sentry CEO Milin Desai. “Your app, your agents, your MCP — it’s all one flow. With the addition of MCP Server monitoring, Sentry gives developers the context they need across every layer, so they can find the bug anywhere in their application stack and get back to shipping.”
MCP monitoring is available today for anyone using Sentry’s JavaScript SDK, and can be up and running in minutes.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
