FAQ

Git vs Sentry: which MCP server should I use?

Pick Git when commit message generation. Pick Sentry when incident triage. Git is built for run local git operations, while Sentry focuses on triage errors & read traces.

Can I run both Git and Sentry together?

Yes. MCP clients run each server as a separate process and surface every server's tools simultaneously, so you can install both and let your agent decide which to call. Be deliberate with auth scopes when stacking servers.
