zentao_bugs_list.Get Bug Details: Fetch comprehensive details about a specific bug using its ID with
zentao_bug_get.List My Bugs: Access a personalized list of bugs assigned to or created by you with flexible filtering options including scope (assigned/opened/resolved/all), status (active/resolved/closed/all), product ID, account, pagination controls, and optional full details using
zentao_bugs_mine.Authentication: Configure credentials via CLI arguments, environment variables, or saved login for seamless access without re-authentication.
Bilingual Support: Handles queries in both English and Chinese for common bug-related operations.
JSON Output: Commands support full JSON output for programmatic use.
Self-Test: Verify configuration and connectivity with a diagnostic self-test command.
Local Development: Includes tools for testing and development workflows.

zentao-mcp
ZenTao CLI for products + bugs.
Installation
Global install (recommended):
pnpm i -g @leeguoo/zentao-mcpIf you don't have pnpm:
npm i -g pnpm
pnpm i -g @leeguoo/zentao-mcpOr use without installing:
npx -y @leeguoo/zentao-mcp --helpThis installs the zentao command (and keeps zentao-mcp as a compatibility alias).
Configuration
Required Parameters
You can configure the CLI using CLI arguments or environment variables:
CLI arguments:
--zentao-url(e.g.https://zentao.example.com/zentao)--zentao-account--zentao-password
Environment variables:
ZENTAO_URLZENTAO_ACCOUNTZENTAO_PASSWORD
Tip: ZENTAO_URL should include the ZenTao base path (often /zentao).
Example:
https://zentao.example.com/zentao(common)
If you see 404 Not Found when logging in, your base path is likely missing /zentao.
