What you can do with Airbrake in Claude and ChatGPT

For developers and on-call engineers who track application errors and deploys in Airbrake.

Find the most frequent errors in a project

The AI lists a project's error groups, ordered by notice count or last notice, with error type, message, environment and counts, so you see what hurts most.

Inspect one error and its latest occurrences

The AI opens an error group with its full backtrace, then lists its notices with app version, user, URL and request params to show how it happens.

Check if an error is spiking or fading

The AI reads the occurrence counts over time of one error group, or of a whole project, including notices dropped by rate limits or quota.

Match new errors to a recent deploy

The AI lists tracked deploys with environment, deployer, revision and version, and error groups filtered by deploy, so you can link errors to a release.

Mute a noisy error or unmute it again

The AI mutes an error group, which stops its notifications while notices are still recorded, or unmutes it so notifications resume.

How do I connect Airbrake?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Airbrake User API key.

Find it in Airbrake → your avatar (top right) → Profile → User API key. Use the permanent User API key: a project key can only report errors, and a temporary user token expires. Your key is used only to call the Airbrake API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
Enter the name Airbrake and this URL, then click Add:
https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your Airbrake User API key.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Airbrake.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Airbrake and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Airbrake User API key.
In Plugins, install Airbrake, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http airbrake https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airbrake": {
      "url": "https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "airbrake": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add airbrake --url https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login airbrake

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://airbrake.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Airbrake User API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Pricing

Plan	Price	Limit
Free	$0	50 tool calls / month
Proper user	$9/mo · $90/yr	10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per user	$39/mo · $390/yr	100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Airbrake server only. Ask your AI to run airbrake_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with airbrake_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with airbrake_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Get a projectairbrake_get_project
Get one Airbrake project: name, last deploy id/time, notice total, rejection count, deploy count and resolved/unresolved error-group counts.
List error groupsairbrake_list_groups
List a project's error groups ("errors" in the Airbrake app): each with id, resolved flag, error type/message/backtrace, context (environment, severity, component/action), last notice time, notice counts and last deploy. Sorted by last notice by default; order by notice_count, weight or created instead. Filter by deploy, archived or muted groups, or creation time. Backtraces are cut to the first 5 frames (set full_backtraces for all; airbrake_get_group shows one group in full).
Get an error groupairbrake_get_group
Get one error group in full: resolved flag, every error with its complete backtrace (file, function, line, column), context, last deploy, last notice id/time, notice counts and creation time.
Get error group statisticsairbrake_get_group_stats
Occurrence counts over time for one error group: parallel arrays `time`, `accepted` (notices counted) and `limited` (dropped by rate limits), aggregated per period, from `since` until `until` (default now). Use it to see whether an error is spiking or fading.
List notices of an error groupairbrake_list_notices
List the individual occurrences (notices) of one error group, newest first: each with id, deploy, errors and backtrace, context (environment, hostname, app version, user, URL, severity, notifier), environment, session and request params, and created time. Optionally only notices of one app version. Backtraces are cut to the first 10 frames unless full_backtraces is set.
Get a notice's processing statusairbrake_get_notice_status
Check what happened to a reported error, by the notice id that Airbrake's create-notice API returned: code = processed (groupId = its error group), rejected (message = why, e.g. an app-version filter), archived (past retention) or not_found (unknown or still processing).
List deploysairbrake_list_deploys
List a project's tracked deploys: environment, username/email of the deployer, repository, revision (commit) and version. Use it to correlate new errors with a release.
Get a deployairbrake_get_deploy

Mute an error groupairbrake_mute_group
WRITE: mute one error group. Airbrake removes it from the default error list and stops ALL notifications for it (email, Slack and other integrations) until it is unmuted. Notices are still recorded. Reversible with airbrake_unmute_group.
Unmute an error groupairbrake_unmute_group
WRITE: unmute one error group, so it is back in the default error list and its notifications resume.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)airbrake_usage_status
Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
Request a missing featureairbrake_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Airbrake tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
Upgrade to Pro or Pro+airbrake_upgrade
Get a paid plan for Airbrake (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
Cancel the Pro subscriptionairbrake_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's Airbrake Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run airbrake_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Airbrake in Claude or ChatGPT?

Find the most frequent errors in a project. Inspect one error and its latest occurrences. Check if an error is spiking or fading. Match new errors to a recent deploy. Mute a noisy error or unmute it again. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Airbrake product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Airbrake. The server calls the Airbrake API with your own Airbrake access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Airbrake to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Airbrake User API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Airbrake key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Airbrake User API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Airbrake credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Airbrake API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Airbrake.

Can the AI change my Airbrake data?

Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 13 Airbrake tools can create or change data. The other 11 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Airbrake server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run airbrake_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run airbrake_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run airbrake_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Airbrake tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with airbrake_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
