Codecks MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants interact with Codecks project management. Query cards, create tasks, update status, and manage your game dev workflow directly from Claude or other MCP-compatible AI tools.

Repository: github.com/microkorg/Codecks-MCP

Features

• List & Search Cards - Query all cards or filter by deck/project/status, search by title/content
• Create Cards & Decks - Add new tasks directly from your AI assistant, reference decks by name or ID
• Update Cards - Modify card content, move between decks, rename decks
• Status Management - Mark cards complete, archive/unarchive finished work
• Space Management - List, create, rename, and delete spaces (deck containers)
• Flexible Project Filtering - Set a default project or specify per-call for cross-project workflows

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or later
• A Codecks account with an organization

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/microkorg/Codecks-MCP.git
cd Codecks-MCP

Then run the setup script for your platform:

• Windows: setup.bat
• Mac/Linux: bash setup.sh

This installs dependencies and creates your .env config file. See Configuration below for how to find your token and user ID.

Configuration

Edit .env with your Codecks credentials:

# Required: Your auth token (see below for how to find it)
CODECKS_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Required: Your Codecks organization URL
CODECKS_URL=yourteam.codecks.io

# Optional: Default project filter (can be overridden per-call)
CODECKS_DEFAULT_PROJECT=My Project

# Required for create/update operations
CODECKS_USER_ID=your_user_id_here

Finding Your Token

1. Open your Codecks organization in your browser
2. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
3. Go to Application tab > Cookies > your codecks domain
4. Find the cookie named at and copy its value

Finding Your User ID

1. Open Developer Tools (F12) > Network tab
2. Create any card in Codecks
3. Find the request to api.codecks.io/dispatch/cards/create
4. Look at the request payload - the userId field is your user ID

Usage with Claude Code

Add to your .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codecks": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/codecks-mcp/index.js"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/codecks-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Optionally, prevent Claude from reading your credentials:

{
  "deny": ["path/to/codecks-mcp/.env"]
}
