BugHerd bug tracking integration. List projects, tasks, comments with filtering.
Bugherd MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. BugHerd bug tracking integration. List projects, tasks, comments with filtering.
BugHerd allows an average of 60 requests per minute with bursts of up to 10 in quick succession. The server handles rate limiting errors gracefully.
Once Bugherd is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSetup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverOrganization — The Organization tool exposed by this serverUsers — The Users tool exposed by this serverProjects — The Projects tool exposed by this serverTasks — The Tasks tool exposed by this serverColumns — The Columns tool exposed by this serverComments — The Comments tool exposed by this serverAttachments — The Attachments tool exposed by this serverWebhooks — The Webhooks tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: BUGHERD_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.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Among the planning and project tracking 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. Bugherd's toolset — Prerequisites, Setup, Organization and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Berckan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
