Overview

GitScrum Studio MCP Server connects AI assistants to your GitScrum workspace via the Model Context Protocol. It gives Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client full operational access to your project management stack — tasks, sprints, time tracking, user stories, epics, kanban workflows, team discussions, wiki, notes, client CRM, invoicing, proposals, budget tracking, analytics dashboards, standup reports, and activity feeds.

Everything your team does in the GitScrum web app, your AI assistant can now do through conversation.

You:    "What's on my plate today?"
Assistant: Fetches your tasks due today across all projects.

You:    "Create a sprint for next week with the top 5 backlog items"
Assistant: Creates the sprint, assigns tasks, and sets the timeline.

You:    "Show me which projects are over budget"
Assistant: Returns burn-down data and flags at-risk projects.

You:    "Send the Q1 proposal to Acme Corp"
Assistant: Creates the proposal, attaches the client, and sends it.

You:    "What did the team ship this week?"
Assistant: Generates a standup digest with completed work and blockers.

29 tools. 160+ operations. Zero context switching.

Quick start

Install

npx -y @gitscrum-studio/mcp-server

Configure your client

Edit the configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitscrum": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitscrum-studio/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json or your MCP settings:

{
  "servers": {
    "gitscrum": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitscrum-studio/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Authenticate

Tell your AI assistant: "Login to GitScrum"

The server initiates an OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant flow. You authorize in the browser — credentials are never shared with the MCP server.

Each tool uses a consolidated action parameter, reducing LLM context tokens by ~80% compared to individual tool definitions.

Security

The server is designed around the principle of least privilege.

Layer	Protection
Operations	Only CREATE, READ, UPDATE. DELETE is blocked at MCP and API layers.
Authentication	OAuth 2.0 Device Grant — credentials never touch the server.
Token storage	Local filesystem with restricted permissions.
Rate limiting	Automatic lockout after failed auth attempts.

Destructive operations must be performed in the GitScrum Studio.
