A project management MCP server for your AI tools
Connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor to Eigenfocus. Your AI tool can read the issue it's working on, update it and log the time, without you switching apps.

What is the Eigenfocus MCP server?
The Eigenfocus MCP server is built into Eigenfocus Cloud and self-hosted Essential and PRO.
- AI tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect to it with OAuth.
- They can then find, create and update issues, projects, comments and time entries, with the same permissions the user has in the app.
Your AI tool, working on real project data
The agent doesn't know your backlog
With MCP it can read the issue, follow its description and move it to review when it's done.
Copying between chat and tracker
Ask in plain language to create issues for a list of bugs or a meeting's action items. They land in the right project.
Keeping the agent within limits
The agent acts as you and can only do what you can. Deleting projects isn't available. Delete actions are marked so your tool asks first.
How it works
Connect with one command
Add your Eigenfocus MCP URL to your AI tool. It opens Eigenfocus in your browser, where you sign in and approve access. The commands are under Profile > MCP integration.
- OAuth sign-in, no keys to copy
- Works with tools that support remote MCP servers with OAuth
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http eigenfocus https://<your-eigenfocus-url>/mcp
# Codex
codex mcp add eigenfocus --url https://<your-eigenfocus-url>/mcp
What your AI tool can do
The same projects, issues and time you work with in the app. Each result includes a link that opens the project or issue in Eigenfocus.
Issues
- Find, read, create and update issues
- Finish, reopen, archive and delete them
- Read and write custom fields and start dates
Projects and workflow
- Look up statuses, types, labels, views and members
- Create and update projects or copy one
- Manage statuses, types, labels and custom fields
Team and comments
- Add, update or remove project members
- Read, write and delete comments and mention people
Time tracking
- List, log, edit and delete your time entries
- Start or stop timers
Safe by default
The agent only sees and changes what you can in the app.
- Archiving or deleting a project isn't available through MCP
- Delete actions are flagged as risky, so AI tools that check for it ask you before deleting
- The agent can send the version of the issue it read. If a teammate changed it since, the edit is refused so their work isn't lost
- Admins can revoke any user's MCP connections
- On self-hosted, admins can turn MCP off
