Taiga MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps

OfficialLocal
Getnpm@taiga-ai/mcp-server

Lets Claude, Cursor and other assistants read your Taiga products, policies and findings and move work through the line.

This is Taiga's own server. It lets your assistant read where a product stands, queue and review initiatives, follow coding runs and manage findings, documents and setup. It needs a Taiga account and an access key.

It runs on your computer and calls the Taiga API with that key. You create the key in Taiga under Settings, Account, MCP, and pick its permissions and expiry there. The key acts as you and can do no more than your role allows. The package is proprietary and is not open source.

Good for

  • Engineers who use Taiga to plan and ship work with coding agents
  • Team leads who review plans, pull requests and what waits on people
  • Security and compliance owners who track findings, licenses and policies
  • Platform admins who set up factories, products and repositories

Install @taiga-ai/mcp-server

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the @taiga-ai/mcp-server server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    printf 'Taiga access key: ' && read -rs TAIGA_API_KEY && echo && claude mcp add taiga --scope user -e TAIGA_API_KEY="$TAIGA_API_KEY" -- npx -y @taiga-ai/mcp-server@0.36.0
    
    Ask me for TAIGA_API_KEY and only put the values in that config, nowhere else.
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js, Taiga access key.

The README pins release 0.36.0 and prompts for the key so it stays out of your shell history. Create the key first under Settings, Account, MCP in Taiga.

Tools

  • Shows where a product stands in one call

    The first thing to read about a product: its status, what it needs next and what is in flight. Name the product by ID, slug or the git remote of your checkout.

    Try: “Where does my current product stand?”

    Network · taiga_get_product_context

  • Shows who your key acts as and which tools it has

    Reports your role, what the key can do, and which toolsets and tools are on or off.

    Try: “Which Taiga tools can my key use?”

    Network · taiga_whoami

  • Lists what is waiting on a person

    Shows reviews to make and setup only a person can do, with how long each has waited.

    Try: “What is waiting on me in Taiga?”

    Network · taiga_list_action_required

  • Lists setup you must do outside Taiga

    Names the secrets, variables and accounts a product needs, where to create them and how urgent each is.

    Try: “What setup does this product still need from me?”

    Network · taiga_list_setup_tasks

  • Lists your organization's factories

    Returns the groups that own products, with IDs, and can search by name.

    Try: “List our Taiga factories.”

    Network · taiga_list_factories

  • Lists your organization's products

    Returns products with IDs, factory and status, and can search by name or slug.

    Try: “List all products in the Payments factory.”

    Network · taiga_list_products

  • Reads a product's settings

    Returns a product's kind, autonomy, what Taiga builds for it, network access and, during setup, what it still needs.

    Try: “Show the settings of the checkout product.”

    Network · taiga_get_product

  • Lists a product's initiatives

    Shows units of work newest first, with board column, whose turn it is and a sentence on where each stands.

    Try: “What initiatives are open on this product?”

    Network · taiga_list_initiatives

  • Reads one initiative

    Returns its column, turn, next step, latest run and description.

    Try: “Show initiative 42 with its full description.”

    Network · taiga_get_initiative

  • Reads an initiative's plan step by step

    Shows what each step builds, which files it reads and writes and what it depends on, enough to approve or reject it.

    Try: “Show me the plan for initiative 42.”

    Network · taiga_get_plan

  • Lists coding agent runs

    Shows runs newest first with one sentence on each: running, waiting to merge, merged, failed or stopped.

    Try: “Which runs failed this week?”

    Network · taiga_list_runs

  • Reads one coding agent run

    Returns the outcome, pull request, security pass and each step with its commit and files, and why it failed if it did.

    Try: “Why did run 17 fail?”

    Network · taiga_get_run

Permissions

high risk · 4 things to watch

High risk

The assistant can change Taiga settings, start coding agent work, approve plans and delete knowledge files with your permissions. Create a key with only the toolsets you need, and approve every write and every tool that starts agent work.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • It can delete knowledge files

    The delete tool removes a reference file at once and cannot be undone. Organization files need an owner or admin key. npmjs.com

  • 22 tools start or change paid agent work

    The package marks these tools "Ask first (paid agent work)" in their descriptions: queue, plan review, resume, move, stop, pause, fixes, imports, document generation and knowledge processing. The README says each tool is one risk class, so allow reads and prompt on the rest. Keep your client's approval prompt on. npmjs.com

  • It can publish policies and change settings

    Tools publish organization policies, switch on auto-merge and change repository links. Review each call before you accept it. npmjs.com

  • It trusts record text as data only

    Initiative, finding and document text is written by people or agents. The server tells the assistant to treat it as data, but you should still read what comes back. npmjs.com

Technical details
Talks toTaiga API (https://api.eu.tai.ga by default)
Sign-in and keysThe key is passed to the server in the TAIGA_API_KEY environment variable and shown once in Taiga when you create it.
Scopes
  • Toolsets chosen when the key is created (core, operate, setup, observe, documents)

  • Your Taiga role

Questions

Is the Taiga MCP server official?

Yes. It is Taiga's own package, and its README calls it the Taiga MCP server.

How do I get the access key?

Sign in to Taiga and open Settings, Account, MCP. Create a key, choose its permissions and expiry, and copy it, because Taiga shows it once.

Is it free and open source?

The package is proprietary and is provided for use with a Taiga account. It is not open source, and it does nothing without an account and key.

Can I limit what it can do?

Yes, in part. The tools come in five toolsets that you choose when you create the key, or override with the TAIGA_TOOLSETS setting. There is no read-only switch, and the core set also holds design token tools.

Why do I see fewer tools than this page lists?

The server registers only the tools your key and role can use. A key with fewer toolsets or a lower role shows fewer.

What can it not do?

Organization administration stays in the web app: members and roles, SSO, access keys, connecting GitHub, and deleting factories and products.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

The server runs on your computer. It sends requests to the Taiga API, which is hosted in the EU by default.

How do I add it to Claude Code?

Use the Claude Code tab in the install box above, and paste your access key where it shows the placeholder. Taiga also offers a ready-made command that asks for the key without saving it in your shell history.
