What are MCP Tools?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) Tools are external services that extend the capabilities of DAIV agents by providing specialized functionality through a standardized protocol. These tools allow AI agents to interact with external systems, fetch data from various sources, and perform actions that go beyond basic code analysis and modification.
Available MCP Tools
DAIV currently supports the following MCP tools:
| MCP Server | Tools | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Sentry MCP Server | • find_organizations: Discover Sentry organizations• get_issue_details: Retrieve detailed information about specific issues |
• Analyzing error patterns and crash reports• Understanding issue context when fixing bugs• Gathering debugging information from production systems• Correlating code changes with error occurrences |
Configuration
MCP tools are configured through environment variables. Here's how to set them up:
Basic Configuration
# MCP Proxy Configuration
MCP_PROXY_HOST=http://mcp-proxy:9090 # Default: http://mcp-proxy:9090
MCP_PROXY_ADDR=:9090 # Default: :9090
MCP_PROXY_AUTH_TOKEN=your-auth-token # Optional authentication token
# Sentry MCP Server
MCP_SENTRY_ENABLED=true # Default: true
MCP_SENTRY_VERSION=0.17.1 # Default: 0.17.1
MCP_SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-sentry-token # Required for Sentry functionality
MCP_SENTRY_HOST=your-sentry-host # Your Sentry instance host
See Environment Variables Reference for more details.
Advanced Configuration
Creating Custom MCP Servers
!!! warning "Coming Soon" The ability to create custom MCP servers is currently under development. This feature will allow you to define custom MCP servers.
Stay tuned for updates as we work on bringing this functionality to DAIV.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
MCP tools not available in agents:
- Verify that the MCP proxy is running and accessible
- Check that required environment variables are set
Sentry tools not working:
- Verify
MCP_SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKENis set and valid - Check that
MCP_SENTRY_HOSTpoints to your Sentry instance - Ensure your Sentry token has the necessary permissions
Fetch tools timing out:
- Check network connectivity from the MCP proxy
- Verify target URLs are accessible
Debugging
To debug MCP tool issues:
Check MCP proxy logs:
docker logs mcp-proxyVerify configuration:
docker compose exec -it app django-admin mcp_proxy_config
Security Considerations
DAIV uses MCP Proxy to allow installing and running MCP servers on a containerized environment. This means that the MCP servers are not directly installed/running on your machine, but rather on the MCP Proxy docker container, improving security by isolating the MCP servers from your machine.
This doesn't mean that you're safe from attacks. You still need to be careful about the MCP servers you use following the MCP protocol security best practices.
Here are some best practices to follow when using MCP servers in DAIV:
- API Tokens: Store sensitive tokens like
MCP_SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKENsecurely using Docker secrets - Network Access: MCP servers may require network access to external services (e.g. Sentry)
- Authentication: Configure
MCP_PROXY_AUTH_TOKENfor additional security in production environments
