MCP

Connect Productlane to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client so an AI agent can read and act on your workspace directly. The agent can triage threads, send replies, file issues, publish changelogs, and manage docs, all within the permissions of your API key.

For the complete setup reference, see the full MCP guide.

Server URL

https://productlane.com/api/mcp

Connect a client

The MCP server uses the same bearer token as the API, so there is no separate login.

1. Create a key in Settings → Integrations → API and pick the scopes you want the agent to have.

2. Add the server in your client, pointing it at https://productlane.com/api/mcp.

3. Authenticate by passing the key as the Authorization: Bearer pl_v2_... header.

For Claude, add it as a custom connector:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productlane": {
      "url": "https://productlane.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pl_v2_..." }
    }
  }
}

For Cursor, go to Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server and use the same URL and header.

Scopes control what the agent can do

The key's scopes decide which tools the agent can call. A read-only key exposes only read tools, and a key without admin hides member management. Create a narrow key when you want the agent limited to part of your workspace.

Verify the connection

Ask the client to call me_get. It returns your workspace, the key id, and the granted scopes. If it fails, the key is missing, was revoked, or is a deprecated v1 key.

Revoke access

Revoke the key in Settings → Integrations → API. Every client using it stops working immediately. To rotate, create a new key, update the client config, then revoke the old one.
