Use any agent to access & update Productboard data

Overview

When your daily work spans multiple agents, progress stalls when you hit a boundary that agents can’t cross. You'll know you’ve hit it when you find yourself copying and pasting across prompt windows, ferrying markdown files between tools, or performing manual data entry at the tail end of a task that was 99% AI-driven.

The Productboard MCP server addresses that challenge by allowing you to employ the agents you're already using — like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Lovable — to access and update the product data, specifications, and documents in your Productboard workspace.

Create & update product entities

Create and update features, subfeatures, initiatives, releases, objectives, key results, companies, users, documents, and more directly from your agent, without leaving your workflow.

Update fields used for prioritization

Update custom drivers and other data fields on features and initiatives (like value, risk, impact, confidence, and effort) to automate prioritization workflows.

Update product entity relationships

Add features to initiatives, move an initiative to a new release, or create key results beneath an objective. Agents can see how Productboard entities are related and are able to make updates.

Pull product specifications into coding agents

Access your latest product specifications from coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to begin execution. Make updates and leave comments back on the original specifications.

Setup

Admins start by enabling the MCP Server at the workspace level. Workspace members authorize individually through their own AI tools and agents.

Read on for quick start directions. For additional information, see the Productboard MCP server support article and Create and manage entities with an AI agent.

Steps for admins

Enable the MCP server:

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → MCP servers.
2. Toggle on Enable MCP for this workspace.
3. Under Who can use MCP, choose which workspace roles can connect an agent.

Admins can revoke every connection workspace-wide with Disconnect all members.

Configuring for Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI applications

Each workspace member adds the Productboard MCP to their own AI tools and agents:

• In Claude this is found in Settings → Connectors.
• In ChatGPT this is found in Settings → Plugins → MCP → Add MCP Server.

The following URL is used for the configuration: https://mcp.productboard.com.

If prompted to specify which type, choose Streamable HTTP.

The final step is authenticating with a Productboard login.

Members can disconnect the MCP connector at any time.

Configuring for Claude Code

With Claude Code CLI already installed, run the following in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http productboard https://mcp.productboard.com

Configuring for Codex

With Codex CLI already installed, run the following in your terminal:

codex mcp add productboard --url https://mcp.productboard.com

Configuring for Cursor

Add the following to your MCP configuration JSON file:

{"mcpServers":{"productboard":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.productboard.com"}}}
