How to add Sentry error monitoring with Claude Code

Sentry scores 5/5 on our Claude Code fit scale: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server + 8 skills. These steps use only Sentry’s and Anthropic’s official instructions; each step links its source.

  1. 1

    Have Claude Code and a Sentry account ready

    You need Claude Code installed and an account with Sentry (sentry.io). Some tools only need the account when the agent first calls a live tool.

  2. 2

    Install the official Sentry plugin

    Run this in Claude Code (or your terminal, as the source shows):

    /plugin install sentry@claude-plugins-official

    Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins

  3. 3

    No marketplace setup needed

    This plugin is in Anthropic’s official marketplace (claude-plugins-official), which Claude Code adds automatically the first time you start an interactive session.

  4. 4

    Connect and verify

    Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to see connected servers, check status and complete sign-in where the server uses OAuth.

  5. 5

    Let the skills do the SDK work

    The plugin bundles 8 skills that Claude loads when relevant, or you can call one directly with /skill-name.

Then just ask

Example prompt (our suggestion, not from vendor docs):

“Help me add Sentry error monitoring in this project. Follow the Sentry skills, keep secrets in environment variables, and show me the plan before changing files.”
