Installation

Download the latest .mcpb file from the Releases page and drag it into Claude Desktop (Developer → Extensions → Install), or double-click it in a compatible MCP client.

The bundle is self-contained — no cloning or building required.

After installing, set your PRODUCTBOARD_API_TOKEN in the extension settings.

Option 2: Local install (manual)

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Enreign/productboard-mcp.git
cd productboard-mcp

# 2. Install dependencies and build
npm install --include=dev
npm run build

Then add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productboard": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/productboard-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PRODUCTBOARD_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "error"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Set LOG_LEVEL to error (not info). MCP uses stdio for communication — info-level logs printed to stdout will interfere with the protocol and cause the server to lock up.

Option 3: npx

⚠️ Coming soon — not yet published to npm. Use Option 1 or 2 above.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productboard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@enreign/productboard-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PRODUCTBOARD_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "error"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting a Productboard API Token

  1. Log in to your Productboard workspace

  2. Go to Profile & SettingsAPI Access

LOG_LEVEL

info

Log level: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal

Note for MCP clients: Always set LOG_LEVEL=error when using with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any stdio-based MCP client. Higher log levels write to stdout and will break the MCP protocol.

Variable

Description

PRODUCTBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID

OAuth2 client ID

PRODUCTBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

OAuth2 client secret

PRODUCTBOARD_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI

OAuth2 redirect URI

Troubleshooting

"MCP server locks up / produces error logs" → Add "LOG_LEVEL": "error" to the env block in your MCP config. Info logs written to stdout interfere with the stdio transport.

"npx fails / package not found" → The package is not yet published to npm. Use the .mcpb bundle or local install above.

"command not found after local build" → Point args at the full absolute path to dist/index.js, not the productboard-mcp.js wrapper.
