What is productboard-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for developing an MCP server that connects coding agents to the Productboard API. Productboard is a product-management service for organizing customer feedback, features, and product decisions.

Use them when building, running, publishing, or updating this TypeScript server and its Productboard integrations.

They give developers the project’s setup, architecture, build process, and API-migration requirements in one place.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.03899	$0.03899
Opus 5.5	$0.01560	$0.01560
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00780	$0.00780
Haiku 4.5	$0.00390	$0.00390

Security

Grade A, and why

productboard-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Productboard API. Exposes ~30 tools covering entities, notes, relationships, configurations, members, and analytics. Today the server is hybrid V1 + V2: V2 for CRUD, V1 retained for rich note search (displayUrl, followers, features, fulltext, comments).

Active migration: Productboard API v1 is deprecated and will be sunset on 2026-07-08. Every v1 call must be moved to v2 (or explicitly accepted as a parity gap) before then. See Productboard v2 migration below.

Stack

Language: TypeScript (ESM, "type": "module")
Runtime: Node.js >= 18
SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.12.1
Validation: zod ^3.24.2
Build: tsc → build/
Distribution: npm package @drmaxbdc/productboard-mcp, run via npx -y @drmaxbdc/productboard-mcp

No test framework, linter, or CI workflow is configured.

Architecture

Entry point src/index.ts bootstraps the MCP server from src/server.ts over stdio.

  index.ts                       # npm bin entry (#!/usr/bin/env node)
  server.ts                      # creates McpServer, registers tool groups
  types.ts                       # shared types: V1Note, PaginatedResponse, etc.
  utils.ts                       # toolResult / toolError / ProductboardApiError
  api/
    client.ts                    # HTTP layer — both V2 and V1 callers live here

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
