Pp Sentry
Purpose
A broad Sentry API CLI with local search, SQL, export, and MCP surfaces for incident work. Trigger phrases: check Sentry issues, list Sentry projects, debug a Sentry event, audit Sentry releases, search Sentry incidents, use Sentry, run Sentry.
Description
Sentry — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the sentry-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via the Printing Press installer:
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install sentry --cli-only - Verify:
sentry-pp-cli --version - Ensure
$GOPATH/bin(or$HOME/go/bin) is on$PATH.
If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.3 or newer):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/sentry/cmd/sentry-pp-cli@latest
If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
When to Use This CLI
Use this CLI when an agent or script needs structured access to Sentry organizations, projects, issues, events, releases, monitors, teams, and related observability data. Prefer it over a hosted MCP when you need local binaries, local sync/search/SQL, CSV/JSON output, or direct control over auth and region routing.
Unique Capabilities
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Read-only Sentry inventory
-
organizations list— List Sentry organizations available to the authenticated token with structured output.Use this first when an agent needs to discover the organization slug for Sentry API work.
sentry-pp-cli organizations list --json --select slug,name -
seer— List the active LLM model names available through Sentry Seer.Use this when an agent needs to know which Seer-backed model identifiers Sentry exposes.
sentry-pp-cli seer --json
HTTP Transport
This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
sentry-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
Recipes
Discover orgs
sentry-pp-cli organizations list --json --select slug,name
Find organization slugs for scoped Sentry commands.
List projects for an org
sentry-pp-cli organizations projects list-an-organization-s my-org --json --select slug,name
Find project slugs before project-scoped incident queries.
List issues narrowly
sentry-pp-cli organizations issues list-an-organization-s my-org --agent --select shortId,title,count,userCount
Keep agent context focused while triaging current issues.
Export organization inventory
sentry-pp-cli export organizations --format json --output sentry-organizations.json
Create a portable incident handoff file after syncing or listing data.
Inspect CLI capabilities
sentry-pp-cli agent-context --pretty
Give an agent the live command and auth surface before choosing a Sentry operation.
Auth Setup
Set SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN to a Sentry user or organization token with read scopes such as org:read, project:read, and event:read. Set SENTRY_REGION=de for EU-region SaaS organizations, or configure the base URL for self-hosted Sentry if supported by the generated config.
Run sentry-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
Agent Mode
Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.
-
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
-
Filterable —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:sentry-pp-cli organizations list-your --agent --select id,name,status -
Previewable —
--dry-runshows the request without sending -
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
-
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Response envelope
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
{
"meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
"results": <data>
}
Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
sentry-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
sentry-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
sentry-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.sentry-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless SENTRY_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or SENTRY_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
stdout | Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> | Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> | POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
sentry-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
sentry-pp-cli --profile briefing organizations list-your
sentry-pp-cli profile list --json
sentry-pp-cli profile show briefing
sentry-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
Exit Codes

Argument Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- Empty,
help, or--help→ showsentry-pp-cli --helpoutput - Starts with
install→ ends withmcp→ MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above - Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with
--agent)
MCP Server Installation
- Install the MCP server:
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/sentry/cmd/sentry-pp-mcp@latest - Register with Claude Code:
claude mcp add sentry-pp-mcp -- sentry-pp-mcp - Verify:
claude mcp list
Direct Use
- Check if installed:
which sentry-pp-cliIf not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill). - Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
- Execute with the
--agentflag:sentry-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent - If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
sentry-pp-cli <command> --help.
