Configuration and credentials

You will need 3 environment variables: FEATUREBASE_API_KEY, FEATUREBASE_ORG_URL, FEATUREBASE_BASE_URL. 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.

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at featurebase-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Choosing this one

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Featurebase MCP's toolset — Required, Optional, Posts and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by marcinwyszynski; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Featurebase MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Featurebase MCP.
  • 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 featurebase mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
