• Story Management: Get, search, create, and update stories; assign/unassign owners; add comments and tasks; manage external links; generate valid branch names; and handle story relationships (blocking, duplicates)

• Iteration Management: Get, search, and create iterations; retrieve stories within iterations; list active or upcoming iterations

• Epic Management: Get, search, and create epics

• Objective Management: Get and search objectives by various criteria

• Team & Workflow Management: Get specific teams or workflows; list all teams or workflows

• User Information: Get current user details and list all members

Provides integration with Shortcut's project management platform, allowing AI assistants to interact with Shortcut data using an API token for authentication.
