Official
by LetRetroHQ

What is this?

@letretro/mcp is the official Model Context Protocol package for LetRetro. It gives AI coding assistants direct access to your LetRetro workspace — boards, cards, retrospectives, and team data.

It runs in two modes:

Mode

What it does

install

Interactive CLI wizard that auto-configures your MCP clients

server (default)

Local MCP stdio server using the official MCP SDK — forwards requests to mcp.letretro.com

One install command, zero manual JSON editing.


Related MCP server: scrumdo-mcp

Quick start

npx @letretro/mcp install

You'll be prompted for your LetRetro API key. The installer detects your installed MCP clients and writes the configuration — you pick which ones to set up.

  ╚══════════════════════════════════╝

  Enter your LetRetro API Key: ••••••

  Detected clients:
    ✓ Claude Desktop
    ✓ Cursor
    ✓ VS Code
    ✓ OpenAI Codex CLI
    ✓ OpenCode
    ✓ Antigravity
    ✓ Hermes
    ✓ OpenClaw

  (Use space to select, enter to confirm)
  ✔ Select clients to configure:

  ✓ Claude Desktop: Updated ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  ✓ Cursor: Created ~/.cursor/mcp.json

  ╚══════════════════════════════════╝

  Restart your MCP clients to start using
  LetRetro tools.

What gets configured

The installer adds a letretro server entry to your client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "letretro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@letretro/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LETRETRO_API_KEY": "lr_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your AI coding tool and LetRetro tools are automatically available.

The installer auto-detects these clients and writes the correct config for each:

The local process is a proper MCP stdio server built with the official MCP SDK. It:

  • Handles the full MCP handshake (initialize, ping, notifications/*)

  • Implements tools/list with a cached response from the remote server

  • Forwards tools/call requests to mcp.letretro.com and returns results

  • Supports graceful shutdown via SIGTERM/SIGINT

  • Reads LETRETRO_API_KEY and an optional LETRETRO_MCP_URL override from the environment

All MCP tools, resources, and prompts are implemented server-side on mcp.letretro.com, so you get updates instantly — no package upgrade needed.


Manual setup

If you prefer to configure clients manually instead of using the installer, add the following to your client's MCP config file.

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Antigravity / OpenClaw / Windsurf / Continue:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "letretro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@letretro/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LETRETRO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code:

{
  "servers": {
    "letretro": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@letretro/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LETRETRO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenCode:

{
  "mcp": {
    "letretro": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@letretro/mcp"],
      "enabled": true,
      "environment": {
        "LETRETRO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex CLI:

[mcp_servers.letretro]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@letretro/mcp"]

[mcp_servers.letretro.env]
LETRETRO_API_KEY = "your_key_here"

Hermes:

mcp_servers:
  letretro:
    command: "npx"
    args:
      - "-y"
      - "@letretro/mcp"
    env:
      LETRETRO_API_KEY: "your_key_here"

Environment variables

Variable
