## What it does

The integration exposes the Honeybadger API to MCP-compatible development tools. Assistants can inspect crash details, query service logs, and watch scheduled tasks. The hosted endpoint handles authorization via OAuth at `https://mcp.honeybadger.io/mcp` or the EU address `https://eu-mcp.honeybadger.io/mcp`. It requires no local container.

For local setups over stdio, the project provides a Go binary and a Docker image (`ghcr.io/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-mcp-server:1.5.1`). Running locally requires an API token starting with `hbu_` or `hba_` exported as `HONEYBADGER_PERSONAL_AUTH_TOKEN`.

The server defaults to `HONEYBADGER_READ_ONLY=true`, blocking destructive actions such as deleting projects. Running the HTTP transport independently also demands a 32-character string in `MCP_CONFIRM_SECRET` to sign deletions, without which the process refuses to boot.
