Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@@letretro/mcpshow my latest retrospective"
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.
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 |
| Interactive CLI wizard that auto-configures your MCP clients |
server (default) | Local MCP stdio server using the official MCP SDK — forwards requests to |
One install command, zero manual JSON editing.

Quick start
npx @letretro/mcp installYou'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

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.
Supported clients
The installer auto-detects these clients and writes the correct config for each:
Client | Auto-detect | Config file written | Format |
✅ macOS/Linux |

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