Tokens auto-refresh and can be reviewed or revoked from account settings. Self-hosted MCP now also supports the EU stack via a configurable API URL and EU-specific auth tokens, with a separate EU endpoint (eu-mcp.honeybadger.io) for the hosted version. Other August updates include natural-language error search (describe what you want and Honeybadger generates the BadgerQL query), anomaly detection that alerts on error volume spikes without manual thresholds (Business/Enterprise plans), and new Oban-py support for reporting unhandled exceptions and per-job telemetry from Python background jobs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I connect Claude Code or Cursor to Honeybadger's MCP server without sharing my full API key? Honeybadger's hosted MCP server now supports OAuth, so you add the endpoint https://mcp.honeybadger.io/mcp to your client and approve the connection through your browser instead of pasting a personal API token. You choose read-only or read-write access, and Honeybadger issues short-lived tokens that auto-refresh, so no long-lived secret sits in a config file. For Claude Code, run 'claude mcp add --transport http honeybadger https://mcp.honeybadger.io/mcp'. _Developers wiring up AI agents to their error tracker can follow OAuth-based MCP setups like this one on daily.dev._ ### How do I use Honeybadger's self-hosted MCP server with an EU account? Set the HONEYBADGER_API_URL environment variable to https://eu-app.honeybadger.io in the MCP server's env block, and if running via Docker also add a matching -e HONEYBADGER_API_URL entry to the args so the variable is passed through. Then authenticate with a personal auth token generated from EU user settings, since a US token will not work against the EU region and vice versa. _Teams handling EU data residency requirements track region-specific setup details like this on daily.dev._ ### Does Honeybadger support Python background job monitoring for Oban-py? Yes, Honeybadger integrates with Oban-py, the Python port of Oban's background job library. Unhandled worker exceptions are reported automatically, per-job telemetry flows into Honeybadger Insights, and request context carries through to jobs that get enqueued from a request. _Python developers evaluating background job observability options can follow integrations like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [2025 year in review: APM, logging, and more](https://daily.dev/posts/2025-year-in-review-apm-logging-and-more-7puxub5bx) · Honeybadger · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Advanced client signals, request filtering, build with agents](https://daily.dev/posts/advanced-client-signals-request-filtering-build-with-agents-tofaou4cx) · Arcjet · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Connect any AI assistant to your Oh Dear data](https://daily.dev/posts/connect-any-ai-assistant-to-your-oh-dear-data-wwo7byape) · Oh Dear · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Cypress Cloud MCP is Generally Available](https://daily.dev/posts/cypress-cloud-mcp-is-generally-available-5lsmocwzz) · cypress · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#observability](https://daily.dev/tags/observability), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#oauth](https://daily.dev/tags/oauth) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/august-2026-product-update-at-honeybadger-vlqro3qyt) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"August 2026 product update at Honeybadger","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/august-2026-product-update-at-honeybadger-vlqro3qyt","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/august-2026-product-update-at-honeybadger-vlqro3qyt"},"datePublished":"2026-08-12T12:02:44.425Z","dateModified":"2026-08-12T12:03:30.189Z","description":"Honeybadger's hosted MCP server now supports OAuth, letting AI agents like Claude or Cursor connect via browser approval with scoped read-only or read-write...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/193f8a158cda5aa0e3bc28fbe86fe04b?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/193f8a158cda5aa0e3bc28fbe86fe04b?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Honeybadger","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Honeybadger","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/5b56ad30204443ccade335f95e09ac85","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/honeybadger"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/august-2026-product-update-at-honeybadger-vlqro3qyt","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"observability,mcp,oauth","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Honeybadger","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/honeybadger"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"August 2026 product update at Honeybadger"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/august-2026-product-update-at-honeybadger-vlqro3qyt#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I connect Claude Code or Cursor to Honeybadger's MCP server without sharing my full API key?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Honeybadger's hosted MCP server now supports OAuth, so you add the endpoint https://mcp.honeybadger.io/mcp to your client and approve the connection through your browser instead of pasting a personal API token.
