Authentication

This server uses Bearer token authentication. Your API token needs specific scopes depending on which tools you want to use:

Required Scopes

Minimum Token Scopes

• For basic project/org information: project:read, org:read, team:read, member:read

• For full functionality including issues: project:read, org:read, team:read, member:read, event:read

To create an API token in Glitchtip:

1. Go to your Glitchtip instance

2. Navigate to Settings → API Tokens

3. Create a new token with the required scopes

Testing

Test the server functionality:

# Run basic tests
node test-get-issue.js

Troubleshooting

403 Forbidden Errors

If you receive 403 errors when accessing issues or events, your API token is missing the event:read scope. Create a new token with the appropriate scopes.

401 Unauthorized Errors

Ensure your API token is valid and uses Bearer authentication format.

Connection Issues

Verify your GLITCHTIP_API_ENDPOINT is correct and accessible.
