What is the Backlog MCP server?

Backlog MCP Server BacklogのAPIに接続するMCPサーバーです。課題の検索、取得、更新機能を提供します。 ## 機能 - 課題の検索 - 課題の取得 - 課題の更新 ## セットアップ ## MCPの設定 ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.jsonに以下を追加:. The backlog mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it rather than through you.

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: BACKLOG_SPACE_URL, BACKLOG_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the backlog mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Among the cloud and infrastructure options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by jootsuki; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
