Sentry Production Issue Analyzer (MCP-Powered)
You are an expert production debugger for Joe Speaking (joespeaking.com). You have full access to the Sentry MCP server and can query issues, analyze events, invoke Seer AI, and resolve issues directly.
Project Constants (hardcoded — do NOT call find_organizations / find_projects)
- Organization:
real-speaking - Project:
real-speaking-v1 - Environment:
production - Stack: Next.js 14 + React + Supabase + Backblaze B2 + Transformers.js
Mode Dispatch
Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the mode:
| Input | Mode |
|---|---|
| (empty) | Full Audit — comprehensive production bug review |
sweep |
Sweep — find fixed issues, mark resolved in Sentry |
deep ISSUE-ID |
Deep Dive — single issue with Seer AI analysis |
trends |
Trends — error patterns, spikes, health metrics |
status |
Status — quick dashboard (minimal API calls) |
Pre-flight: Connectivity Check (all modes)
Call whoami first. If it fails, show the user:
Sentry MCP is not connected. Add this to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sentry": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.sentry.dev/sse"
}
}
}
Then authenticate via the browser prompt.
Stop execution if connectivity fails.
MODE 1: Full Audit (default)
Step 1 — Fetch issues (parallel MCP calls)
Make these calls in parallel:
search_issues→ query:is:unresolved project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production(limit 50)search_issues→ query:is:resolved project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production lastSeen:>now-30d(limit 20)search_events→ query:project:real-speaking-v1 environment:productionto understand volumefind_releases→ org:real-speaking, project:real-speaking-v1for latest release SHA
Step 2 — Reconciliation check (ensures no omissions)
This is the core differentiator. Three-directional cross-reference:
Direction A: Git → Sentry (are all fix commits tracked?)
git log --oneline -100 --grep="Sentry"
git log --oneline -50 --grep="fix:"
For each commit referencing a Sentry ID (patterns: Sentry #XX, Sentry XX, (Sentry XX), (Sentry XX, YY)):
- Verify the corresponding Sentry issue exists in the fetched results
- Flag any commit references that don't appear as "orphaned fix references"
Direction B: Sentry → Git (are all Sentry issues addressed in code?)
For each unresolved Sentry issue:
- Search git history:
git log --oneline --all --grep="ISSUE-SHORT-ID" - Also search
instrumentation-client.tsandinstrumentation.tsfor the error type/message inignoreErrorsorbeforeSendfilters
Direction C: Code comments → Sentry
Grep for pattern: \(Sentry [\w#,\s]+\) in *.ts, *.tsx files
Cross-reference each inline comment (e.g., // Sentry S, // Sentry 8J, // Sentry 57, 7D) with Sentry issue status. Flag any that reference issues now resolved or missing.
Step 3 — Parallel deep analysis (sub-agents)
For each unresolved issue (top 10 by user impact), spawn a Task sub-agent that:
- Calls
get_issue_detailsfor full stack trace and metadata - Calls
get_issue_tag_valueswith tag keybrowserfor browser distribution - Calls
get_issue_tag_valueswith tag keyurlfor URL distribution - Searches codebase with
Grepfor the error message or function name from the stack trace - Runs
git log --oneline -20 -- <affected_file>on the file from the stack trace - Cross-references with
instrumentation-client.tsignoreErrors list (lines 36-64) and beforeSend filters (lines 80-122) andinstrumentation.tsserverBeforeSend (lines 15-19)
Classify each issue as:
- ACTIVE — real bug, needs fix
- FIXED_IN_CODE — fix commit exists but Sentry issue still unresolved
- FILTERED — handled by ignoreErrors/beforeSend/denyUrls (downgraded or dropped)
- STALE — no events in 30+ days, no fix commit
Step 4 — Report
## Sentry Production Audit — [date]
Release: [SHA] ([date]) | Period: last 7 days | Total unresolved: [N] | Resolved (30d): [N]
### Reconciliation Summary
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Git fix commits referencing Sentry | [N] found, [N] matched, [N] orphaned |
| Unresolved issues with existing fix commits | [N] (run `/sentry-analyze sweep` to resolve) |
| Code comments referencing Sentry issues | [N] found, [N] current, [N] stale |
| Unresolved issues with no code references | [N] |
### 🔴 Active Issues (need attention)
| # | Issue | Users | Events (7d) | First Seen | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [title] ([ID]) | [N] | [N] | [date] | [type] |
[Per-issue detail blocks with stack trace summary, affected files, root cause, fix recommendation]
### 🟡 Fixed in Code (should be resolved in Sentry)
| Issue | Fix Commit | Merged | Events After Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
### 🔵 Filtered (handled by instrumentation)
| Issue | Filter Location | Filter Type |
|---|---|---|
### ✅ Recently Resolved (last 30 days)
| Issue | Resolved Date | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
Step 5 — Next steps
Offer actionable options tailored to what was found:
- Fix now — implement the fix for the highest-severity active issue
- Fix all — create a branch and fix all active issues
- Sweep — run
/sentry-analyze sweepto resolve fixed-but-unresolved issues - Deep dive — run
/sentry-analyze deep ISSUE-IDfor AI-powered analysis of a specific issue - Tests only — write reproduction/regression tests without applying fixes
- Instrument — add logging/breadcrumbs for unreproducible issues
Only offer options relevant to the findings. Don't show irrelevant choices.
MODE 2: Sweep (mark fixed issues as resolved)
Step 1 — Gather data (parallel)
search_issues→ query:is:unresolved project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production(limit 100)- Run in parallel:
git log --oneline -100 --grep="Sentry" git log --oneline -100 --grep="fix:"
Step 2 — Build fixed-issues map
For each git commit referencing a Sentry issue:
- Check if the commit is on
mainbranch:git branch --contains <sha> | grep main - Call
get_issue_detailsto verify the issue is still unresolved - Call
search_issue_eventsto check for error-level events after the fix commit date
Also check:
- Read
instrumentation-client.tsignoreErrors (lines 36-64) and beforeSend (lines 80-122) - Read
instrumentation.tsserverBeforeSend (lines 15-19) - For each unresolved issue whose error type/message matches a filter, check if there are recent error-level events
Step 3 — Apply decision logic
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Fix merged to main + no error events after fix | ✅ Mark resolved |
| Fix merged to main + only warning-level events after fix | ✅ Mark resolved |
| Fix merged to main + error-level events still occurring | ⚠️ Keep unresolved, flag for review |
Error in ignoreErrors/beforeSend + no recent errors |
✅ Mark resolved |
| No events in 30+ days, no fix commit | 💤 Suggest resolved (stale) |
Step 4 — Confirm with user
Show the full resolution table:
## Sweep Results — [date]
### Ready to Resolve ([N] issues)
| # | Issue | Reason | Last Event | Fix Commit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [title] ([ID]) | Fixed in code | [date] | [sha] |
### Flagged for Review ([N] issues)
| # | Issue | Reason | Last Error Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [title] ([ID]) | Fix merged but errors continue | [date] |
### Stale ([N] issues)
| # | Issue | Last Event |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [title] ([ID]) | [date] |
Ask: "Resolve [N] issues? (yes/no/select specific)" — do NOT resolve without explicit user confirmation.
Step 5 — Execute resolutions
For each approved issue, call update_issue with:
issue_id: the Sentry issue IDstatus:resolved
Report: "[N] issues resolved, [N] flagged for review, [N] skipped"
MODE 3: Deep Dive (deep ISSUE-ID)
Step 1 — Parallel data gathering (5+ MCP calls)
All in parallel:
get_issue_details— issue ID from$ARGUMENTSget_issue_tag_values— tag key:browserget_issue_tag_values— tag key:urlget_issue_tag_values— tag key:ossearch_issue_events— recent 10 events for this issue
Step 2 — Seer AI analysis
Call analyze_issue_with_seer:
issue_id: from argumentsinstruction: "Analyze in context of Next.js 14 + Supabase + Backblaze B2 storage + Transformers.js WASM. The app is a speaking practice tool with audio recording, ASR transcription, and AI feedback."
Note to user: Seer analysis may take 2-5 minutes if not cached. Continue with local analysis while waiting.
Step 3 — Local codebase correlation
- Read source file from the stack trace's top frame
- git blame on the relevant lines to find the author and commit
- git log on the affected file for recent changes
- Check filters — search
instrumentation-client.tsignoreErrors (lines 36-64), beforeSend (lines 80-122), andinstrumentation.tsserverBeforeSend (lines 15-19) for existing handling of this error - Check docs — look in
docs/issues/for existing documentation about this issue - Check git —
git log --oneline --all --grep="ISSUE-SHORT-ID"for related commits
Step 4 — Release correlation
Call find_releases to check:
- When was the issue first seen relative to deployments?
- Did it start after a specific release?
- What commits were in that release?
Step 5 — Comprehensive report

MODE 4: Trends
Step 1 — Parallel MCP calls
All in parallel:
search_events→ query:project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production— error count by day this weeksearch_events→ query:project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production— error count by error typesearch_events→ query:project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production— error count by browsersearch_issues→ query:is:unresolved project:real-speaking-v1 environment:production firstSeen:>now-7d— new issues this week
Step 2 — Release correlation
Call find_releases for recent deployments. Cross-reference error spikes with deployment timestamps.
Step 3 — Filter cross-reference
Read instrumentation-client.ts (ignoreErrors lines 36-64, beforeSend lines 80-122) and instrumentation.ts (serverBeforeSend lines 15-19). Note which top error types are already being filtered/downgraded vs. reaching Sentry as full errors.

Sub-Agent Guidelines
When spawning Task sub-agents for parallel issue analysis:
- Use
subagent_type: "general-purpose"andmodel: "opus" - Each sub-agent should handle one issue completely (fetch + analyze + classify)
- Collect all sub-agent results before generating the final report
- If a sub-agent fails, note the failure in the report and continue with other issues
