No MCP component on status.sentry.io and no SLA.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Datadog MCP Server\n\n1. Use https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp. The /api/unstable/ path in older configs is no longer the documented one\n2. Set `toolsets` to the two or three you need, for example core plus logs, and read the `toolsets` resource first\n3. Pass `limit` and `custom_attributes` on span searches, and page with `cursor`. `start_at` is gone\n4. Expect a permission error when the org blocks MCP writes or the OAuth grant is read-only. That's the boundary working\n5. Budget calls. The org shares 100,000 a month and 50 per 10 seconds\n\n### Sentry MCP\n\n1. Put the org and project in the URL (mcp.sentry.dev/mcp/\u003corg\u003e/\u003cproject\u003e) to drop the discovery tools\n2. Call `search_sentry_tools` to find a catalogue tool, then `execute_sentry_tool` to run it\n3. Use `get_sentry_resource` with an issue or trace URL when you have one. It's faster than natural-language search\n4. Grant Triage only when the task needs to resolve or assign issues. The default skills are read-only\n5. Expect `?experimental=1` tool variants to change between releases\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Datadog MCP Server or Sentry MCP?\n\nSentry MCP scores 70.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Datadog MCP Server's 56.6 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Datadog MCP Server leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Datadog MCP Server and Sentry MCP need an API key?\n\nDatadog MCP Server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Sentry MCP uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Datadog MCP Server and Sentry MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
