hybrid server

The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.

Integrations

  • Allows configuration through environment variables or a .env file for settings like API URLs, session expiry, and logging options

  • Used for configuration settings and validation of data structures within the bridge

  • Supports comprehensive testing capabilities including unit tests, integration tests, and test coverage reporting

Taiga MCP Bridge

Overview

The Taiga MCP Bridge is a powerful integration layer that connects Taiga project management platform with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI tools and workflows to interact seamlessly with Taiga's resources.

This bridge provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources for AI agents to:

  • Create and manage projects, epics, user stories, tasks, and issues in Taiga
  • Track sprints and milestones
  • Assign and update work items
  • Query detailed information about project artifacts
  • Manage project members and permissions

By using the MCP standard, this bridge allows AI systems to maintain contextual awareness about project state and perform complex project management tasks programmatically.

Features

Comprehensive Resource Support

The bridge supports the following Taiga resources with complete CRUD operations:

  • Projects: Create, update, and manage project settings and metadata
  • Epics: Manage large features that span multiple sprints
  • User Stories: Handle detailed requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Tasks: Track smaller units of work within user stories
  • Issues: Manage bugs, questions, and enhancement requests
  • Sprints (Milestones): Plan and track work in time-boxed intervals

Installation

This project uses uv for fast, reliable Python package management.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • uv package manager

Basic Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/your-org/pyTaigaMCP.git cd pyTaigaMCP # Install dependencies ./install.sh

Development Installation

For development (includes testing and code quality tools):

./install.sh --dev

Manual Installation

If you prefer to install manually:

# Production dependencies only uv pip install -e . # With development dependencies uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

Configuration

The bridge can be configured through environment variables or a .env file:

Environment VariableDescriptionDefault
TAIGA_API_URLBase URL for the Taiga APIhttp://localhost:9000
SESSION_EXPIRYSession expiration time in seconds28800 (8 hours)
TAIGA_TRANSPORTTransport mode (stdio or sse)stdio
REQUEST_TIMEOUTAPI request timeout in seconds30
MAX_CONNECTIONSMaximum number of HTTP connections10
MAX_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTIONSMax keepalive connections5
RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTSMax requests per minute100
LOG_LEVELLogging levelINFO
LOG_FILEPath to log filetaiga_mcp.log

Create a .env file in the project root to set these values:

TAIGA_API_URL=https://api.taiga.io/api/v1/ TAIGA_TRANSPORT=sse LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

Usage

With stdio mode

Paste the following json in your Claude App's or Cursor's mcp settings section:

{ "mcpServers": { "taigaApi": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "<path to local pyTaigaMCP folder>", "run", "src/server.py" ], "env": { "TAIGA_TRANSPORT": "<stdio|sse>", "TAIGA_API_URL": "<Taiga API Url (ex: http://localhost:9000)", "TAIGA_USERNAME": "<taiga username>", "TAIGA_PASSWORD": "<taiga password>" } } }

Running the Bridge

Start the MCP server with:

# Default stdio transport ./run.sh # For SSE transport ./run.sh --sse

Or manually:

# For stdio transport (default) uv run python src/server.py # For SSE transport uv run python src/server.py --sse

Transport Modes

The server supports two transport modes:

  1. stdio (Standard Input/Output) - Default mode for terminal-based clients
  2. SSE (Server-Sent Events) - Web-based transport with server push capabilities

You can set the transport mode in several ways:

  • Using the --sse flag with run.sh or server.py (default is stdio)
  • Setting the TAIGA_TRANSPORT environment variable
  • Adding TAIGA_TRANSPORT=sse to your .env file

Authentication Flow

This MCP bridge uses a session-based authentication model:

  1. Login: Clients must first authenticate using the login tool:
    session = client.call_tool("login", { "username": "your_taiga_username", "password": "your_taiga_password", "host": "https://api.taiga.io" # Optional }) # Save the session_id from the response session_id = session["session_id"]
  2. Using Tools and Resources: Include the session_id in every API call:
    # For resources, include session_id in the URI projects = client.get_resource(f"taiga://projects?session_id={session_id}") # For project-specific resources epics = client.get_resource(f"taiga://projects/123/epics?session_id={session_id}") # For tools, include session_id as a parameter new_project = client.call_tool("create_project", { "session_id": session_id, "name": "New Project", "description": "Description" })
  3. Check Session Status: You can check if your session is still valid:
    status = client.call_tool("session_status", {"session_id": session_id}) # Returns information about session validity and remaining time
  4. Logout: When finished, you can logout to terminate the session:
    client.call_tool("logout", {"session_id": session_id})

Example: Complete Project Creation Workflow

Here's a complete example of creating a project with epics and user stories:

from mcp.client import Client # Initialize MCP client client = Client() # Authenticate and get session ID auth_result = client.call_tool("login", { "username": "admin", "password": "password123", "host": "https://taiga.mycompany.com" }) session_id = auth_result["session_id"] # Create a new project project = client.call_tool("create_project", { "session_id": session_id, "name": "My New Project", "description": "A test project created via MCP" }) project_id = project["id"] # Create an epic epic = client.call_tool("create_epic", { "session_id": session_id, "project_id": project_id, "subject": "User Authentication", "description": "Implement user authentication features" }) epic_id = epic["id"] # Create a user story in the epic story = client.call_tool("create_user_story", { "session_id": session_id, "project_id": project_id, "subject": "User Login", "description": "As a user, I want to log in with my credentials", "epic_id": epic_id }) # Logout when done client.call_tool("logout", {"session_id": session_id})

Testing

Run tests with pytest:

# Run all tests pytest # Run only unit tests pytest tests/unit/ # Run only integration tests pytest tests/integration/ # Run tests with specific markers pytest -m "auth" # Authentication tests pytest -m "core" # Core functionality tests # Run tests with coverage reporting pytest --cov=src

Debugging and Inspection

Use the included inspector tool for debugging:

# Default stdio transport ./inspect.sh # For SSE transport ./inspect.sh --sse # For development mode ./inspect.sh --dev

Error Handling

All API operations return standardized error responses in the following format:

{ "status": "error", "error_type": "ExceptionClassName", "message": "Detailed error message" }

Performance Considerations

The bridge implements several performance optimizations:

  1. Connection Pooling: Reuses HTTP connections for better performance
  2. Rate Limiting: Prevents overloading the Taiga API
  3. Retry Mechanism: Automatically retries failed requests with exponential backoff
  4. Session Cleanup: Regularly cleans up expired sessions to free resources
