Overview

What is Backlog MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents like Claude Desktop, Cline, and Cursor to interact with the Backlog API. It provides tools for managing projects, issues, wiki pages, Git repositories, pull requests, notifications, and watching items.

How to use Backlog MCP Server?

Configure the server in your MCP‑compatible client using Docker (recommended) or a manual Node.js installation. Set environment variables BACKLOG_DOMAIN (your Backlog domain) and BACKLOG_API_KEY (your API key). Optional variables MAX_TOKENS and OPTIMIZE_RESPONSE control response size and field selection.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

The server runs via Docker or Node.js (after building from source). You need a Backlog account with API access and a valid API key. Docker is the simplest deployment method.

2

Where does my data live?

All data remains in your Backlog space. The server is stateless; it only makes API calls to Backlog and does not store any data locally.

3

How can I limit response size or select only specific fields?

Set `MAX_TOKENS` (default 50 000) to cap token usage, and set `OPTIMIZE_RESPONSE=true` to enable GraphQL‑style field selection in your queries.

4

Can I customize tool descriptions or use a different language?

Yes. Create a `.backlog-mcp-serverrc.json` file in your home directory, or set environment variables (e.g., `BACKLOG_MCP_TOOL_ADD_ISSUE_COMMENT_DESCRIPTION`). A Japanese translation template is provided.

5

How do I keep the Docker image up‑to‑date?

Add `--pull always` to the Docker run arguments, or manually run `docker pull ghcr.io/nulab/backlog-mcp-server:latest`.
