## Installation

<details>
<summary><b>Install in Cursor</b></summary>

### Prerequisites

1. [Cursor IDE](https://cursor.com) installed
2. GlitchTip API token or session ID
3. Your GlitchTip organization slug

### Quick Install

[![Install MCP Server](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/en-US/install-mcp?name=glitchtip&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IC15IGdsaXRjaHRpcC1tY3AifQ%3D%3D)

Click the button above and follow the installation flow, or manually configure:

### Manual Configuration

1. Open your MCP configuration file:
   - **Global (all projects)**: `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
   - **Project-specific**: `.cursor/mcp.json` in project root

2. Add the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glitchtip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "glitchtip-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GLITCHTIP_TOKEN": "your-api-token",

        "GLITCHTIP_BASE_URL": "https://app.glitchtip.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

3. Replace the environment variables with your actual values
4. Save the file and restart Cursor

### Using .env File (Recommended)

For better security, store credentials in a `.env` file:

1. Create `.env` in your project root:

```bash
GLITCHTIP_TOKEN=your-api-token
GLITCHTIP_ORGANIZATION=your-org-slug
GLITCHTIP_BASE_URL=https://app.glitchtip.com
```

2. Update `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glitchtip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "glitchtip-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Add `.env` to `.gitignore`:

```bash
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
```

### Verify Installation

1. Restart Cursor completely
2. Check for green dot in Settings → Tools & Integrations → MCP Tools

### Debug Production Error

```
User: "Check GlitchTip for recent 500 errors"

AI: I found 3 recent 500 errors:
1. DatabaseConnectionError in /api/users
2. TimeoutError in payment processing
3. ValidationError in checkout flow

User: "Show me details about the payment timeout"

AI: [Analyzes event] The TimeoutError occurs when...
[Provides stack trace and suggested fixes]
```

### Monitor Error Trends

```
User: "What are the most frequent errors?"

AI: Top errors by frequency:
1. CORS policy errors (145 occurrences)
2. Missing auth token (89 occurrences)
3. Rate limit exceeded (67 occurrences)
```

### Use Prompts for Guided Analysis

```
User: "Use the recent_errors prompt"

AI: [Analyzes all unresolved issues]
Summary:
- 23 unresolved errors across 5 projects
- Critical: DatabaseConnectionError (89 occurrences)
- High: TimeoutError in payment flow (45 occurrences)
- Medium: ValidationErrors (12 occurrences)

Recommended prioritization:
1. Fix database connection pooling
2. Investigate payment timeout root cause
3. Add validation for edge cases

User: "Use the debug_issue prompt for issue 12345"

AI: [Deep-dives into specific error with stack trace and fix suggestions]
```

## Troubleshooting

### Authentication Failed

- Verify your token/session ID is valid
- Check organization slug is correct
- Ensure token has appropriate permissions

### Connection Error

- Verify `GLITCHTIP_BASE_URL` is correct
- Check network connectivity
- Ensure GlitchTip instance is accessible

### No Issues Found

- Verify issues exist in GlitchTip
- Check organization slug
- Ensure you have permission to view issues

## Security

- Never commit `.mcp.json`, `.cursor/mcp.json`, or `.env` to version control
- Use `.env` files for storing secrets (automatically ignored by git if added to `.gitignore`)
- Use API tokens instead of session IDs for team usage
- Each developer should use their own credentials
