Connecting your agent

Step 1: Turn on MCP access in Productboard

MCP access is controlled by your workspace admin.

1. Go to Settings → MCP Server in your workspace (https://YOUR-SPACE.productboard.com/settings/mcp-server).
2. Turn on Enable MCP for this workspace.
3. Under Who can use it, choose which roles may connect an agent — for example, makers with admin access, makers, contributors, or viewers.

That's it on the Productboard side. Access can be turned off the same way at any time, which immediately ends any connected agent's session.

Step 2: Connect your coding agent

You connect your agent to a single address: https://mcp.productboard.com. Signing in happens through your browser, using your existing Productboard login.

Claude Code

1. In your terminal, add the server:

   Bash

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

2. Start Claude Code by running claude.

3. Run the /mcp command, choose productboard, and select Authenticate.

4. Your browser opens. Complete the sign-in, and you're connected.

Cursor

Add the server to your MCP configuration (mcp.json):

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

Find out more about Cursor and MCP configuration.

When you first use the connection, Cursor opens your browser to sign in to Productboard. Once that's done, you're connected.

Other MCP clients

The server uses standard remote MCP with OAuth sign-in, so most agents that support remote MCP servers can connect to the same address. Point your client at https://mcp.productboard.com and follow its instructions for adding a remote server.

Authorisation

MCP is currently accessible only via OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) with PKCE. For the full registration and token flow, see OAuth for MCP Clients (Dynamic Client Registration + PKCE).
