MCP server for ZenHub GraphQL API
MCP server for ZenHub GraphQL API. That is what the zenhub mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides full access to the ZenHub GraphQL API.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
zenhub_query — Execute any GraphQL query against the ZenHub API. - query (required): GraphQL query string - variables (optional): Variables for the queryzenhub_search_issues — The zenhub_search_issues tool exposed by this serverzenhub_search_issues_in_repository — The zenhub_search_issues_in_repository tool exposed by this serverzenhub_get_workspace_issues — The zenhub_get_workspace_issues tool exposed by this serverzenhub_get_viewer — The zenhub_get_viewer tool exposed by this serverzenhub_get_issue_by_info — The zenhub_get_issue_by_info tool exposed by this serverzenhub_get_repositories — The zenhub_get_repositories tool exposed by this serverzenhub_create_issue — The zenhub_create_issue tool exposed by this serverzenhub_close_issues — The zenhub_close_issues tool exposed by this serverzenhub_reopen_issues — The zenhub_reopen_issues tool exposed by this serverzenhub_move_issue — The zenhub_move_issue tool exposed by this serverzenhub_add_assignees_to_issues — The zenhub_add_assignees_to_issues tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: ZENHUB_API_KEY, GITHUB_PAT. 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.
npm on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Zenhub MCP's toolset — zenhub_query, zenhub_search_issues, zenhub_search_issues_in_repository and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by derekbar90; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
