Make specs the source of truth for what gets built

Pull specifications into your coding agent and send updates back. Support for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.

Overview

The Productboard MCP Server connects coding agents to your workspace over the Model Context Protocol. Agents read the specs your team writes in Productboard, ask questions as comments on the spec itself, and report progress back, so engineers build from the version you edited today. Every member signs in with their existing Productboard login, and every tool call respects workspace roles. The MCP Server is currently in beta.

Give agents the current spec

Coding agents search and retrieve product documents from your workspace and pull the latest spec for any feature, initiative, or document. When you update a spec, the next agent to pull it gets your latest thinking.

Write back to Productboard

Agents edit document content, post and reply to comments, and update item status and other fields as implementation progresses. A clarifying question lands on the spec where the PM will see it, and the system of record reflects build decisions as they happen. Agents can also create and list customer feedback.

Turn specs into plans and prototypes

Convert a spec into a structured implementation plan: sequenced tasks, acceptance criteria mapped to code tasks, and a list of gaps to resolve before writing code. Coding agents can also build clickable prototypes from a spec for early validation, or produce stakeholder-ready summaries from it.

Permission-scoped by design

Each agent connects as the member who authorized it, receives workspace and user context on initialization, and can only access what that member's role permits. Authentication is a one-time browser sign-in with the member's Productboard login; there are no API keys to manage.

Setup

Workspace admins enable the server; each member then authorizes their own coding agent.

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → MCP servers.
  2. Toggle Enable MCP for this workspace on.
  3. Under Who can use MCP, choose which workspace roles may connect an agent.
  4. Members point their agent at https://mcp.productboard.com and complete a one-time browser sign-in with their Productboard login.

Supported clients include Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — any agent that supports standard remote MCP connections works. Members can disconnect their clients at any time, and admins can revoke every connection workspace-wide with Disconnect all members.
