Get Multiple Issues
get_issuesRead-onlyIdempotent
Retrieve multiple MantisBT issues by their numeric IDs in a single call, with parallel processing and graceful handling of missing or inaccessible IDs.
Instructions
Retrieve multiple MantisBT issues by their numeric IDs in a single MCP call. Requests run in parallel (max 5 concurrent). Missing or inaccessible IDs return null at their array position — the call never fails due to individual missing IDs. Response includes "requested", "found", and "failed" counters for quick validation.
Input Schema

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ids | Yes | Array of numeric issue IDs to fetch (1–50). null is returned per ID on 404/403/error instead of failing the whole call. |
Implementation Reference
- src/tools/issues.ts:105-153 (handler)The implementation of the get_issues tool, which retrieves multiple MantisBT issues by their numeric IDs concurrently.
