search_issues and search_events fail on hosted MCP server (mcp.sentry.dev) - Incorrect API key provided #779
Description
Environment
- Server: Hosted remote MCP server at
https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp - Client: Claude Code (OAuth authentication)
- Organization: mobility-help-desk (region: us.sentry.io)
Affected Tools
search_issuessearch_eventssearch_issue_events
Working Tools
whoamifind_organizationsfind_projectsget_issue_details
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect to the hosted Sentry MCP server at
https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcpvia OAuth - Call
search_issuesorsearch_eventswith any natural language query (e.g., "all unresolved issues") - The call fails immediately
Expected Result
The search tools should translate the natural language query and return matching issues/events.
Actual Result
All tools that depend on AI-powered query translation fail with:
AI Provider Error
The AI provider service is not available for this request.
The AI provider returned an error: Incorrect API key provided: sk-svcac***...pIIA.
You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
This is a service availability issue that cannot be resolved by retrying.
Notes
- The error indicates the server-side OpenAI API key used for natural language query translation is misconfigured or expired.
- This only affects the hosted MCP server (
mcp.sentry.dev), not self-hosted installations. - Tools that don't require AI translation (e.g.,
whoami,find_organizations,find_projects,get_issue_details) work correctly, confirming OAuth authentication and Sentry API access are fine. - Possibly related to search_issues and search_events fail with "OPENAI_API_KEY required" when using Anthropic provider #747, which reports a similar issue for self-hosted setups with the Anthropic provider.

I can confirm this issue as well. I'm using the hosted MCP server at
mcp.sentry.devwith Claude Code via OAuth authentication.Reproduction: Calling
search_issueswith any natural language query immediately fails with the exact same error:Working tools:
whoami,find_organizations,find_projects,get_issue_details— all function correctly, confirming OAuth and Sentry API access are fine.Broken tools:
search_issues,search_events,search_issue_events— anything that relies on server-side AI query translation.Looking forward to a fix!

Okay wow, just wanted to try Sentry MCP today and encountered this error - searched the whole web and asked all LLMs about this issue and tried to find a way to enter my OpenAI api key. Apparently it's just sentry's OpenAI API Key being invalid, lol.

I just tried to use the Sentry MCP server via the Claude Code CLI and running into the same issue. It's quite a frustrating first experience. Please update your OpenAI API key 🙏

Sorry yall - looks like we might have invalidated a key!
A couple of follow-ups we'll resolve here
dcramer commentedon Feb 6, 2026
should be fully resolved and shouldn't be possible to slip through in the future due to #781
