Favro MCP
by truls27a
Favro MCP is an MCP server that lets you interact with Favro project management data and workflows through tools for boards, cards, columns, users, tags, comments, collections, and organizations.
List, inspect, and select boards, including finding boards inside collections and viewing/selecting the current board.
List cards on a board and get detailed card information.
Create, update, move, and delete cards, including across boards/columns/lanes.
Add comments to cards.
Assign or remove users on cards, and look up users by ID, name, or email.
Add or remove tags on cards, and list available tags with names/colors.
Create, rename/update, move, and delete columns on boards.
List lanes (swimlanes) on a board; lanes are read-only and cannot be created, renamed, or deleted.
Upload files/attachments to cards, subject to size limits.
List collections and use them to find boards inside folders.
List custom fields in the organization, with optional name filtering.
List organizations, get/select the active organization, and list roles.
List users, filter users by name/email, and get user details.
Provides tools for interacting with Favro's project management platform, enabling management of organizations, boards, columns, and cards, including creating, updating, moving, and assigning tasks.
Click on "Deploy Server".
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., "@Favro MCP Create a new card 'Update API docs' in the Backlog column"
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.

MCP server for interacting with Favro project management.
Installation
pip install favro-mcpGetting Your Favro API Token
Log in to Favro
Click your username (top-left corner)
Select My Profile
Go to API Tokens
Click Create new token
Give it a name (e.g., "Favro MCP") and click Create
Copy the token — you won't be able to see it again!
claude mcp add --transport stdio favro \
-e FAVRO_EMAIL=your-email@example.com \
-e FAVRO_API_TOKEN=your-token \
-- favro-mcpSee Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"favro": {
"command": "/full/path/to/favro-mcp",
"env": {
"FAVRO_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
"FAVRO_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}Finding the full path: Claude Desktop doesn't inherit your shell's PATH, so you need the absolute path to favro-mcp:
# macOS/Linux (with pip)
which favro-mcp
# Windows (PowerShell)
(Get-Command favro-mcp).SourceThen restart Claude Desktop.
See Claude Desktop MCP documentation for more details.
Add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration file:
Global (all projects):
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonProject-specific:
.cursor/mcp.jsonin your project root
{
"mcpServers": {
"favro": {
"command": "favro-mcp",
"env": {
"FAVRO_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
"FAVRO_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}You can also open the MCP settings via Command Palette: Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) → search "MCP" → select "View: Open MCP Settings".
After configuration, use Agent mode in Cursor's AI chat to access Favro tools.
See Cursor MCP documentation for more details.

[mcp_servers.favro]
command = "favro-mcp"
[mcp_servers.favro.env]
FAVRO_EMAIL = "your-email@example.com"
FAVRO_API_TOKEN = "your-token-here"Or add via CLI:

Inputs: board (required), page, column, archived. Returns: object
list_collectionsList CollectionsA
List all collections (folders) in the organization.
Collections are folders that contain boards. If you're looking for a board but can't find it with list_boards, it may be inside a collection.
Use the collection name with list_boards(collection="name") to see boards inside that collection.
Returns: A list of collections with their IDs and names.

move_cardMove CardA
Move a card to a different column and/or lane, optionally on another board.
Specify a column, a lane, a place in the column, or a combination. Lanes only apply to boards with lanes enabled; use list_lanes to see available lanes.
To place the card in the column's order, give at most one of position, before, or after. Without column and lane, the card is reordered within its current column. The order is shared by the whole column, across lanes.
A card can be committed to several boards at once. Favro's API treats a board change as "commit" (add to the target board, keep the original) by default, which looks like a copy; this tool uses "move" so a cross-board move actually relocates the card.
Inputs: card (required), lane, after, board, +4 more. Returns: object
move_columnMove ColumnC

TDQS
B3.2/5.0
Scored across 28 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools target a distinct resource+action (card CRUD, column CRUD, board lookup, org selection), and paired tools like set_board/get_current_board are clearly differentiated. Minor overlap exists where update_card's broad 'update a card's properties' could blur with the more specific move_card/assign_card/tag_card, but the descriptions disambiguate well.
Naming Consistency5/5
Every tool follows a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_boards, create_card, move_column, delete_card, set_organization). The naming is highly predictable with only trivial variations like get_card_details vs. get_board.
Tool Count3/5
At 28 tools this is on the heavy side, though the breadth of the Favro domain (orgs, collections, boards, columns, lanes, cards, users, tags) justifies many of them. It sits at the borderline where the surface feels large and could likely be consolidated.
Completeness4/5
Card operations (create/get/update/move/assign/tag/delete/comment/attachment) and column operations (full CRUD) are comprehensive, covering the primary workflows. However board creation/update/deletion and tag/collection management are absent, leaving some lifecycle gaps the agent must work around.
