AI Integrations (MCP)

Eythio can connect to AI assistants such as Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open standard that lets an AI assistant securely read and update your project data on your behalf — so you can ask questions and make changes in plain language instead of clicking through the app.

Once connected, you can ask your assistant things like "What's left in the current sprint?", "Create a task to fix the login bug and put it in Sprint 4", or "Show me all critical issues assigned to me", and it will act against your real Eythio workspaces.

What you can do​

With the integration enabled, an assistant can help you:

  • Plan and review — list your workspaces, releases, sprints, and epics, and read a full sprint summary.
  • Work with items — list, open, create, and update tasks and issues.
  • Track testing — browse and manage test cases and test data.
  • Collaborate — add comments and upload attachments to items.
  • Find things fast — search across tasks and issues from a single question.

See the full list on the Available tools page.

How access is controlled​

The integration respects the same permissions you already have:

  • Per-user sign-in. When you connect, you sign in with your own Eythio account. The assistant only ever sees the data your account is allowed to see — it never gains extra access.
  • Organization opt-in. MCP access is a setting an organization administrator turns on. If your organization has not enabled it, the connection will be refused until an admin enables it.
  • No standing copy. The assistant reads live data when you ask. Disconnecting the assistant immediately ends its access.

Before you start​

You will need:

  1. An active Eythio account in an organization that has enabled MCP access (ask your administrator if you are unsure).
  2. An AI assistant that supports remote MCP connectors, such as Claude.

When you have both, follow Connecting Claude to link them.
