MCP Dashboard

Learn how to use Sentry's MCP Dashboard.

Once you've configured the Sentry SDK for your MCP project, you'll start receiving data in the Sentry MCP Insights dashboard.

The main dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all your MCP server activities, performance metrics, and recent tool executions.

MCP Monitoring Overview

The dashboard displays key widgets like:

  • Traffic: Shows MCP requests over time, error rates, and releases to track overall server activity and health
  • Traffic by Client: Displays which MCP clients are connecting to your server (cursor-vscode, CustomMCPClient, etc.)
  • Transport Distribution: Shows the distribution of transport protocols used (http, sse, custom transports)
  • Most Used Tools/Resources/Prompts: Shows which MCP tools/resources/prompts are called most frequently by clients
  • Slowest Tools/Resources/Prompts: Identifies tools/resources/prompts with the highest response times for performance optimization
  • Most Failing Tools/Resources/Prompts: Highlights tools/resources/propmpts with the highest error rates that need attention

Underneath these widgets are tables that allow you to view data in more detail:

  • Tools: Performance metrics for each MCP tool including request count, error rate, average duration, and P95 latency
  • Resources: Access patterns and performance for MCP resources by URI, showing requests, error rate, average duration, and P95 latency
  • Prompts: Usage statistics for MCP prompt templates by name, including requests, error rate, average duration, and P95 latency
