  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {

Common questions

Is MCP Workboard safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.6.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP WorkBoard CrunchTools

A secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for WorkBoard OKR and strategy execution platform.

Overview

This MCP server is designed to be:

Secure by default - Threat modeling, input validation, and token protection
No third-party services - Runs locally via stdio, your API token never leaves your machine
Cross-platform - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
Automatically updated - GitHub Actions monitor for CVEs and update dependencies
Containerized - Available at quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard built on Hummingbird Python base image

Naming Convention

Component	Name
GitHub repo	crunchtools/mcp-workboard
Container	`quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard`
Python package (PyPI)	`mcp-workboard-crunchtools`
CLI command	`mcp-workboard-crunchtools`
Module import	`mcp_workboard_crunchtools`

Why Hummingbird?

The container image is built on the Hummingbird Python base image from Project Hummingbird, which provides:

Minimal CVE exposure - Built with a minimal package set, dramatically reducing attack surface
Regular updates - Security patches applied promptly
Optimized for Python - Pre-configured with uv package manager
Production-ready - Proper signal handling and non-root user defaults

workboard_get_objective_details_tool - Get details for a specific objective with key results
workboard_get_my_objectives_tool - Get the current user's owned objectives by ID (recommended)
workboard_create_objective_tool - Create a new objective with key results (Data-Admin required)

Key Result Management (2 tools)

workboard_update_key_result_tool - Update key result progress for weekly OKR check-ins

Workstream Management (6 tools)

workboard_get_workstreams_tool - Get team workstreams accessible to the authenticated user
workboard_get_workstream_activities_tool - Get workstream details with all action items
workboard_get_workstream_columns_tool - List the Kanban columns in use on a workstream

workboard_create_workstream_tool - Create a new workstream for a team
workboard_update_workstream_tool - Update workstream properties (name, dates, pace, health, priority)

Authorization (3 tools)

workboard_auth_status_tool - Report auth mode, token store, and whether the credential works (GET /user)
workboard_auth_start_tool - Return the WorkBoard authorize URL for browser approval (OAuth mode)
workboard_auth_result_tool - Report the outcome of the most recent authorization redirect

Installation

With uvx (Recommended)

uvx mcp-workboard-crunchtools

With pip

pip install mcp-workboard-crunchtools

With Container

podman run -e WORKBOARD_API_TOKEN=your_token \

quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard

Configuration

Getting a WorkBoard API Token

Log in to your WorkBoard instance
Navigate to Admin Settings > API Configuration
Generate a JWT API token
Copy the token immediately - store it securely

Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add mcp-workboard \

--env WORKBOARD_API_TOKEN=your_token_here \ -- uvx mcp-workboard-crunchtools

Or for the container version:

claude mcp add mcp-workboard \

--env WORKBOARD_API_TOKEN=your_token_here \ -- podman run -i --rm -e WORKBOARD_API_TOKEN quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard

OAuth on a Server (Container Behind a Reverse Proxy)

In OAuth mode (WORKBOARD_CLIENT_ID + WORKBOARD_CLIENT_SECRET), a server reachable over HTTPS can be re-authorized without a shell:

Register the public callback URL, e.g. https://workboard.example.com/callback, as the redirect URI of the WorkBoard app.
Run the server with an HTTP transport and set WORKBOARD_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI to that same URL. The proxy must route /callback to the server.
Call workboard_auth_start_tool, open the URL it returns and approve. WorkBoard redirects to /callback; the server exchanges the code and saves the tokens to the token store. The authorization expires after 10 minutes.
Call workboard_auth_status_tool to confirm (or workboard_auth_result_tool to see why it failed).

podman run -p 8000:8000 \

-e WORKBOARD_CLIENT_ID -e WORKBOARD_CLIENT_SECRET \ -e WORKBOARD_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI=https://workboard.example.com/callback \ -e WORKBOARD_TOKEN_STORE_PATH=/data/tokens.json -v workboard-tokens:/data:Z \ quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0

Variable	Default	Description
`WORKBOARD_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI`	unset	Public URL of this server's `/callback` route. Required for `workboard_auth_start_tool`; the CLI `login` ignores it and uses `http://localhost:8963/callback`.
`WORKBOARD_TOKEN_STORE_PATH`	`~/.config/mcp-workboard/tokens.json`	Where OAuth tokens are stored
