Deployment Options

Option 1: FastMCP Cloud (Recommended) ⚡

Deploy in seconds with zero configuration:

  1. Visit fastmcp.cloud and sign in with GitHub

  2. Create a project from jhigh1594/agileplace-mcp-server

  3. Configure:

    • Entrypoint: agileplace_mcp/server.py:mcp

    • Environment Variables: AGILEPLACE_DOMAIN, AGILEPLACE_API_TOKEN

  4. Your server is live at https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/mcp

Benefits: Automatic updates, PR previews, built-in auth, free during beta!

👉 See detailed guide: DEPLOY_FASTMCP_CLOUD.md

Option 2: Install from Source

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/jhigh1594/agileplace-mcp-server.git cd agileplace-mcp-server # Install dependencies pip install -e . # Or with development dependencies pip install -e ".[dev]"

Configuration

For FastMCP Cloud

Set environment variables in your FastMCP Cloud project settings:

  • AGILEPLACE_DOMAIN - Your AgilePlace domain (e.g., yourcompany.leankit.com)

  • AGILEPLACE_API_TOKEN - Your API token

Then connect using just the URL in your Claude Desktop config:

{ "mcpServers": { "agileplace": { "url": "https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/mcp" } } }

For Local Installation

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in your project directory or set environment variables:

# Your AgilePlace domain (e.g., mycompany.leankit.com) AGILEPLACE_DOMAIN=your-subdomain.leankit.com # Your AgilePlace API token AGILEPLACE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here # Optional: Set log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL) LOG_LEVEL=INFO

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "agileplace": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "agileplace_mcp.server"], "env": { "AGILEPLACE_DOMAIN": "your-subdomain.leankit.com", "AGILEPLACE_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here" } } } }

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP clients, use the same configuration pattern with the appropriate format for that client.

Usage Examples

Basic Board Operations

# List all boards boards = await list_boards(search="project") # Get board details board = await get_board(board_id="123456") # Get cards on a board cards = await get_board_cards(board_id="123456", limit=50)

Card Operations

# Create a new card card = await create_card( board_id="123456", lane_id="lane789", title="Implement new feature", description="Detailed description here", priority="high", size=5, tags=["backend", "api"] ) # Update a card updated = await update_card( card_id="card123", title="Updated title", priority="critical" ) # Move a card to a different lane moved = await move_card( card_id="card123", lane_id="lane456", position=0 # Top of the lane ) # Delete a card await delete_card(card_id="card123")

Parent-Child Connections

# Create a parent-child relationship connection = await create_connection( parent_id="parent123", child_id="child456" ) # Get all children of a card children = await get_card_children(card_id="parent123") # Get connection statistics stats = await get_connection_statistics(card_id="parent123") print(f"Total children: {stats['totalCount']}") print(f"Completed: {stats['completedCount']}")

Card Dependencies

# Create a dependency (card456 depends on card123 finishing) dependency = await create_dependency( card_id="card456", depends_on_card_id="card123", dependency_type="finish_to_start" ) # Get all dependencies for a card deps = await get_card_dependencies(card_id="card456") # Delete a dependency await delete_dependency(dependency_id="dep123")

Bulk Operations

# Update multiple cards at once result = await update_cards_bulk( card_ids=["card1", "card2", "card3"], updates={ "priority": "high", "tags": "urgent,review" } ) # Move multiple cards moves = [ {"cardId": "card1", "laneId": "lane1"}, {"cardId": "card2", "laneId": "lane2"}, {"cardId": "card3", "laneId": "lane1"} ] await move_cards_bulk(moves) # Assign users to multiple boards await assign_members_bulk( board_ids=["board1", "board2"], user_ids=["user1", "user2"], board_role="boardUser" )

User and Team Queries

# Search for users users = await list_users(search="john", limit=10) # Get current user info me = await get_current_user() # List teams teams = await list_teams(search="engineering") # Get team details team = await get_team(team_id="team123")

AI Assistant Usage

When using with Claude or other AI assistants, you can ask natural language questions:

  • "List all boards in AgilePlace"

  • "Show me cards on the 'Q1 Projects' board"

  • "Create a new card titled 'Fix login bug' in the Backlog lane on board 123"

  • "Move card 456 to the 'In Progress' lane"

  • "What are the children of card 789?"

  • "Create a dependency where card 456 depends on card 123 finishing"

  • "Update all cards with tag 'urgent' to high priority"

Deployment

FastMCP Cloud (Recommended)

For the easiest deployment experience:

  • No server management - We handle hosting, scaling, and updates

  • Automatic updates - Pushes to main branch auto-deploy

  • PR previews - Test changes before merging

  • Free during beta - No cost while in beta

See DEPLOY_FASTMCP_CLOUD.md for step-by-step instructions.

Self-Hosted Options

You can also deploy to:

  • AWS Lambda with function URL

  • Google Cloud Functions

  • Any Python hosting service

  • Your own server with python -m agileplace_mcp.server

Development

Running Tests

# Run all tests pytest # Run with coverage pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html # Run specific test file pytest tests/test_cards.py

Code Quality

# Format code black src tests # Lint code ruff check src tests # Type checking mypy src

Rate Limiting

The AgilePlace API implements rate limiting. This server automatically handles rate limits with:

  • Exponential backoff on 429 responses

  • Configurable retry attempts (default: 3)

  • Rate limit header monitoring

  • Automatic retry after cooldown period

Error Handling

The server provides comprehensive error handling:

  • Authentication Errors: Clear messages for missing or invalid credentials

  • Rate Limit Errors: Automatic retry with cooldown

  • API Errors: Detailed error messages with status codes

  • Network Errors: Retry logic for transient failures

Security Best Practices

  1. Store credentials securely: Use environment variables, never commit API tokens

  2. Use Bearer tokens: Prefer API tokens over basic authentication

  3. Rotate tokens regularly: Create new tokens and revoke old ones periodically

  4. Limit token scope: Use separate tokens for different integrations

  5. Monitor usage: Review API usage and rate limit metrics

API Documentation

For detailed AgilePlace API documentation, see:

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors

AgilePlaceAuthError: AGILEPLACE_DOMAIN environment variable is required

Solution: Ensure environment variables are set correctly. Check .env file or MCP client configuration.

Rate Limiting

Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later.

Solution: The server will automatically retry. If persistent, reduce request frequency or contact AgilePlace support to increase limits.

Connection Errors

API Error (500): Internal server error

Solution: Check AgilePlace service status. If persistent, verify your domain and API token are correct.
