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:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install sentry --cli-only
   

   Copy
2. Verify: sentry-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 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 runtime cannot see the binary directory 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
  

  Copy

• 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
  

  Copy

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 — --select keeps 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
  

  Copy

• Previewable — --dry-run shows 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:

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:

1. Empty, help, or --help → show sentry-pp-cli --help output
2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

1. Install the MCP server:

   go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/sentry/cmd/sentry-pp-mcp@latest
   

   Copy
2. Register with Claude Code:

   claude mcp add sentry-pp-mcp -- sentry-pp-mcp
   

   Copy
3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

1. Check if installed: which sentry-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the --agent flag:

   sentry-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
   

   Copy
4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: sentry-pp-cli <command> --help.
