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

What people ask their AI tool

"Pick the next bug and fix it"

Claude Code reads the issue, writes the fix, moves the issue to Code Review and comments with a summary.

Software development

"Create issues for these action items"

Paste meeting notes and get one issue per item, assigned and labeled.

"Set up a project for the new client"

The agent copies your template project and adds the team.

Agency project management

"Log two hours on the onboarding issue"

Time lands on the right issue without opening the timesheet.

Frequently asked questions

What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools call actions in other apps. The Eigenfocus MCP server gives your AI tool actions like "list issues" or "create issue" that work on your projects.
Which AI tools work with it?
Tools that support remote MCP servers with OAuth, like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Can an agent delete my projects?
No. Archiving and deleting projects isn't available through MCP. Delete actions for issues and other items are flagged as risky, so AI tools that check for it ask you before deleting anything.
How do I disconnect an AI tool?
Revoke it under Profile > MCP integration. It needs your approval again to reconnect. Admins can revoke any user's connections.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in to Eigenfocus in the browser and approve access. The REST API is the one that uses API keys.
