Supported services

Step-by-step setup guides for popular services. Each section gets you from zero to working.

Sentry

Track errors, search issues, and inspect events.

Add the server:

mcp add --url https://mcp.sentry.dev/sse sentry

Authenticate:

mcp sentry --list

Sentry supports OAuth 2.0. Your browser will open to authorize the app. After approval, the token is saved automatically.

Example usage:

# Search for unresolved errors
mcp sentry search_issues '{"query": "is:unresolved level:error"}'

# Get issue details
mcp sentry get_issue_details '{"issue_id": "12345"}'

# Search events in a project
mcp sentry search_events '{"project": "my-project", "query": "transaction:/api/users"}'

Slack

Send messages, list channels, search conversations.

Add the server:

mcp add slack

Set environment variables:

You need a Slack app with a bot token. Go to api.slack.com/apps, create an app, and get the OAuth token.

export SLACK_MCP_XOXP_TOKEN="xoxp-your-token"
export SLACK_MCP_TEAM_ID="T12345678"

Test:

mcp slack --list

Note: Slack's MCP server can take 30+ seconds to initialize on first run (npm install). If you get a timeout, increase it: MCP_TIMEOUT=120 mcp slack --list

Example usage:

# List channels
mcp slack list_channels

# Send a message
mcp slack send_message '{"channel": "#general", "text": "Hello from mcp!"}'

Grafana

Search dashboards, query Prometheus, check alerts.

Add the server (self-hosted Grafana):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grafana": {
      "url": "https://grafana.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GRAFANA_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a Service Account Token in Grafana: Administration → Service Accounts → Add token.

export GRAFANA_TOKEN="glsa_..."

Example usage:

# Search dashboards
mcp grafana search_dashboards '{"query": "api-latency"}'

# Query Prometheus
mcp grafana query_prometheus '{"query": "rate(http_requests_total[5m])"}'

# List alert rules
mcp grafana list_alert_groups

GitHub

Search repositories, manage issues, read files.

Add the server:

mcp add github

Set environment variable:

Create a Personal Access Token with the scopes you need.

export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_..."

Example usage:

# Search repositories
mcp github search_repositories '{"query": "mcp language:rust"}'

# Get file contents
mcp github get_file_contents '{"owner": "anthropics", "repo": "mcp", "path": "README.md"}'

Honeycomb

Query datasets, explore traces, manage columns.

Add the server:

mcp add --url https://mcp.honeycomb.io/mcp honeycomb

Authenticate:

On first connect, mcp will prompt for your API key:

This server requires a Honeycomb API Key.

  How: Go to Account → API Keys → Create API Key
  URL: https://ui.honeycomb.io/account

Enter access token for https://mcp.honeycomb.io:
>

Or use OAuth if your Honeycomb setup supports it.

Example usage:

mcp honeycomb --list

Roam Research

Read and write to your Roam graph.

Add the server:

mcp add roam

Set environment variable:

Get a Graph API Token from your Roam settings.

export ROAM_GRAPH_API_TOKEN="roam-graph-token-..."

Example usage:

# Search pages
mcp roam search '{"query": "project ideas"}'

# Get a page
mcp roam get_page '{"title": "Daily Notes"}'

# Create a block
mcp roam create_block '{"page": "Inbox", "content": "New idea from CLI"}'

Adding any server

The pattern is always the same:

1. Find it — mcp search <name> or check the server's documentation

2. Add it — mcp add <name> or mcp add --url <url> <name> or edit servers.json

3. Set credentials — Environment variables or let OAuth handle it

4. Explore — mcp <name> --list to see available tools

5. Use it — mcp <name> <tool> '{"arg": "value"}'

Any MCP-compatible server works. If it speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio or HTTP, mcp can talk to it.
