What is the Huly MCP MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Huly MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Huly MCP: feature-complete MCP server for Huly integration.

The short version

By default (HULY_TOOL_MODE=auto), Huly MCP optimizes for current MCP clients by avoiding a 470-tool eager list. Exact claude-code sessions receive native Huly tools. Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, OpenCode, Claude AI/Desktop-style clients, and unknown clients receive a small proxy surface: list_tool_categories, search_tools, get_tool_schema, and invoke_tool.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:

  • list_tool_categories — Lists Huly tool categories available through this proxy. Use this first when you need a broad map of capabilities before searching for a specific
  • search_tools — Searches the current proxy-visible Huly tool catalog by tool name, category, description, and parameter names. Returns exact tool names plus required
  • get_tool_schema — Returns the exact input and output schema for one proxy-visible Huly tool. Use this before invoke_tool when you are not certain about required
  • invoke_tool — Invokes one proxy-visible Huly tool by exact name with its arguments. This tool can call read or write Huly operations; check get_tool_schema and the
  • Projects — The Projects tool exposed by this server
  • Issues — The Issues tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: HULY_URL, HULY_EMAIL, HULY_PASSWORD, HULY_WORKSPACE, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, HULY_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Huly MCP's toolset — list_tool_categories, search_tools, get_tool_schema and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dearlordylord; 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.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Available tools

ToolWhat it does
list_tool_categoriesLists Huly tool categories available through this proxy. Use this first when you need a broad map of capabilities before searching for a specific Huly tool.
search_toolsSearches the current proxy-visible Huly tool catalog by tool name, category, description, and parameter names. Returns exact tool names plus required and optional parameter names for single-call follow-up with get_tool_s
get_tool_schemaReturns the exact input and output schema for one proxy-visible Huly tool. Use this before invoke_tool when you are not certain about required argument names or result shape.
invoke_toolInvokes one proxy-visible Huly tool by exact name with its arguments. This tool can call read or write Huly operations; check get_tool_schema and the target tool annotations when safety matters.
ProjectsThe Projects tool exposed by this server.
IssuesThe Issues tool exposed by this server.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Huly MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (list_tool_categories, search_tools, get_tool_schema, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Huly MCP directly.
