AI-Powered Development Workflow

ISO Mate includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants and developer tools interact with your project data directly. Manage issues, add comments, and query your backlog without leaving your IDE.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI tools to connect to external data sources and services. ISO Mate’s MCP server exposes your project management data as structured tools that any MCP-compatible client can use.

Available Tools

The MCP server provides the following issue management tools:

List Issues: Query issues with filters for status, priority, type, sprint, assignee, project key, and free-text search
Get Issue: Retrieve a single issue by UUID or project key (e.g., TSK-42)
Create Issue: Create new issues with type, summary, description, priority, assignee, sprint, and release
Update Issue: Modify any field on an existing issue
Delete Issue: Remove an issue from the backlog
Add Comment: Post a comment on an issue
List Comments: Retrieve all comments for an issue

Project Key Lookup

Reference issues naturally using their project keys. Pass a key like BUG-7 or USR-15 to the Get Issue tool and it resolves automatically. Filter the issue list by prefix (e.g., all BUG-* issues) or exact key.

Authentication

MCP access is secured with scoped API tokens. Generate a token from your profile dropdown, assign it the permissions it needs (e.g., issues.view, issues.create), and configure your MCP client with the token. Each token is scoped to a single account for data isolation.

Getting Started

Go to User Profile > API Tokens and create a new token with the required scopes.
Configure your MCP client (e.g., your IDE or AI assistant) with the server URL and token.
Start querying and managing issues directly from your development environment.
