In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@productboard-mcpList features with high priority"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Installation
Option 1: One-click install (.mcpb bundle) — Recommended
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 buildThen 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_LEVELtoerror(notinfo). 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
Log in to your Productboard workspace
Go to Profile & Settings → API Access
Click Generate API key and copy the token
Configuration
Required
Variable | Description |
| Your Productboard API token (Bearer auth) |
Optional
Variable | Default | Description |
|
| Auth type: |
|
| API base URL |
|
| API request timeout (ms) |
|
| Number of retry attempts |
|
| Delay between retries (ms) |
|
| Max requests per window |
|
| Rate limit window (ms) |
|
| Enable response caching |
|
| Cache TTL (seconds) |
|
| Log level: |
Note for MCP clients: Always set
LOG_LEVEL=errorwhen using with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any stdio-based MCP client. Higher log levels write to stdout and will break the MCP protocol.
OAuth2 (optional)
Variable | Description |
| OAuth2 client ID |
| OAuth2 client secret |
| 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.
