What is the Productboard MCP MCP server?

Productboard MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the productboard mcp mcp server. MCP server for Productboard API integration.

What Productboard MCP does

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Productboard API. Enables AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to interact with your Productboard workspace.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:

  • pb_feature_list — List features with filtering
  • pb_feature_get — Get a feature by ID
  • pb_feature_create — Create a new feature
  • pb_feature_update — Update an existing feature
  • pb_feature_delete — Delete a feature
  • pb_product_list — List products
  • pb_product_create — Create a product
  • pb_product_hierarchy — Get full product hierarchy
  • pb_note_list — List customer notes
  • pb_note_create — Create a customer note
  • pb_objective_list — List objectives
  • pb_objective_create — Create an objective
  • pb_objective_update — Update an objective
  • pb_keyresult_list — List key results

Installing the productboard mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as fails, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 5 environment variables: PRODUCTBOARD_API_TOKEN, LOG_LEVEL, PRODUCTBOARD_API_BASE_URL, PRODUCTBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, PRODUCTBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. Productboard MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — pb_feature_list, pb_feature_get, pb_feature_create among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Productboard MCP.
  • Maintained by Enreign, written in Go.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the productboard mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Productboard MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (pb_feature_list, pb_feature_get, pb_feature_create, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Productboard MCP directly.
