honeybadger-mcp-server

Honeybadger MCP server providing an MCP interface (via stdio/docker) to access Honeybadger API data and actions such as projects, faults, notices, and insights. Defaults to read-only mode to prevent write/destructive operations unless explicitly enabled.

The server is configured to run in read-only mode by default, reducing accidental write/destructive operations. Authentication relies on a personal auth token provided via environment variables; the README emphasizes caution for enabling write mode. The content provided does not state TLS/transport guarantees, token scope granularity, or how secrets are logged/redacted, nor does it document rate limiting or specific error safety behaviors.

Best When

You want MCP tool-based access to Honeybadger data for an agent-driven debugging/triage or reporting workflow, and you keep the server in default read-only mode.

Avoid When

You need guaranteed safety for destructive actions, or you cannot securely handle environment-variable secrets and client configuration.

Use Cases

  • Letting an AI assistant query Honeybadger faults and project details via MCP tools
  • Generating operational summaries from Honeybadger reports and insights (e.g., occurrences, counts)
  • Assisting incident triage workflows by searching faults and retrieving related notices/users
  • Automating (optionally) project configuration changes in Honeybadger via MCP tools when write mode is enabled

Not For

  • Running without protecting a Honeybadger personal auth token (token still grants API access)
  • High-safety production write automation unless you tightly control and monitor token usage
  • Use as a general Honeybadger API proxy without understanding MCP client configuration
  • Workloads requiring explicit retry/idempotency guarantees beyond what Honeybadger/MCP semantics provide

Authentication

Methods: HONEYBADGER_PERSONAL_AUTH_TOKEN (personal API token) via environment variable
OAuth: No Scopes: No

Authentication is a Honeybadger personal auth token passed to the container/server. The README does not describe OAuth flows or fine-grained scopes for this MCP wrapper.

Pricing

Free tier: No
Requires CC: No

No pricing information for the MCP server itself is provided in the provided content. Honeybadger subscription/usage costs would still apply for API calls.

Known Gotchas

  • Default read-only mode may block create/update/delete tools until explicitly set to read-only=false.
  • Write/delete tools can be destructive; ensure the MCP client and token access are tightly controlled.
  • Pagination for some endpoints is via limit/page parameters; agents may need to loop to retrieve full datasets.
  • Secrets are provided through environment variables or MCP client password/inputs; misconfiguration could leak tokens.
