Productboard API MCP Server

Installation

To use the Productboard API integration, you'll need to set up the MCP server with your Productboard access token.

Prerequisites

1. A Productboard account with API access
2. A Productboard API access token

Obtaining an Access Token

To get your Productboard access token:

1. Log in to your Productboard account
2. Navigate to the API settings section
3. Generate a new access token with appropriate permissions
4. Copy the token for use in your configuration

For detailed instructions, refer to the Productboard authentication documentation.

Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productboard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "productboard-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PRODUCTBOARD_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PRODUCTBOARD_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_PRODUCTBOARD_TOKEN with your actual Productboard access token.

For Other AI Assistants

The configuration may vary depending on your AI assistant platform. Generally, you'll need to:

1. Install the package using NPX
2. Configure the environment with your Productboard access token
3. Set up the appropriate command and arguments for your platform

Usage

Once configured, you can use the Productboard API integration to retrieve information about your product management data. The available tools allow you to:

• Get lists of companies, components, features, notes, and products
• Retrieve detailed information about specific items
• Check feature statuses

Example queries you might use:

• "Show me all the companies in our Productboard"
• "Get details about feature X"
• "What are the current feature statuses?"
• "Show me all components in our product"

Security Considerations

Your Productboard access token provides access to potentially sensitive product management data. Always:

• Keep your token secure and never share it publicly
• Use environment variables rather than hardcoding tokens
• Consider using tokens with limited permissions when possible
• Regularly rotate your access tokens

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Verify your access token is valid and has the necessary permissions
2. Check that the MCP server is properly configured in your AI assistant
3. Ensure your network allows connections to the Productboard API
4. Look for any error messages in your AI assistant's logs
