Work Item Manager supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants like Claude to interact with your project data directly.
MCP is a protocol that enables AI assistants to discover and use tools exposed by applications. With MCP integration, AI can:
1. First, generate a Personal Access Token from your Profile Settings.
2. Add the following to your MCP configuration file (e.g., .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"projectmanager": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"PM_API_URL": "http://localhost:3002",
"PM_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}
Once configured, the following tools are available to AI assistants:
get_page - Get a wiki page by its 6-digit codecreate_page - Create a new wiki pageupdate_page - Update an existing pagedelete_page - Delete a pagelist_pages - List all pages in the projectget_folder - Get a folder by its 4-digit codelist_folders - List all folderscreate_folder - Create a new folderget_folder_tree - Get folder structure with contentsget_workitem - Get a work item by its 6-digit codelist_workitems - List work items with filterscreate_workitem - Create a new work itemupdate_workitem - Update a work itemupdate_workitem_status - Change work item statusadd_workitem_comment - Add a commentlist_workitem_comments - List commentsdelete_workitem_comment - Delete a comment (soft delete, restorable within 30 days)list_trash - List all work items in trashrestore_workitem - Restore a work item from trashpermanent_delete_workitem - Permanently delete from trash (irreversible)empty_trash - Permanently delete all trashed items (irreversible)When you delete a work item, it moves to Trash and stays there for 30 days. During this period, you can restore it. After 30 days, items are automatically and permanently deleted.
Keep your Personal Access Token secure. Never share it or commit it to version control. Treat it like a password.
