Targetprocess MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Targetprocess project management platform through structured tools and natural language workflows.

This server exposes powerful capabilities for querying, creating, and managing Targetprocess entities such as user stories, bugs, tasks, and features.

It acts as a bridge between LLM agents and the Targetprocess API, providing:

• Structured tool-based access
• Semantic, natural-language-driven workflows

---

Features

• Create standalone bugs or bugs linked to a user story/bug card

• Retrieve TP entities: bugs, user stories, features, releases

• LLM-Friendly Tools

  • Designed for Claude MCP AI agents

---

Use Cases examples:

• "Show me currently active release"
• "write me test cases based on 145322 tp user story"
• "write detailed test cases based on 145642 bug, format them inside html <div> element, create a test plan and add test cases to it"
• "add a comment to 145155 card saying 'test'"
• "write test cases based on 145640 feature"
• "create a bug based on 145637 user story where Add Tile flyout (for a Static Tile) not show"
• "search for a card with 'Text Element' title"

---

Cards — Read

• get_card_current_status — Get EntityState, TeamState, and assigned teams for a card (id, optional resourceType: UserStory | Bug | Feature, default: UserStory)
• get_bug_content — Fetch full content of a bug by ID (id)

• update_bug — Update an existing bug (id, optional title, optional bugContent, optional origin, optional projectId, optional teamId, optional entityStateId)

  Resolve state name → ID via get_bug_workflows before passing entityStateId

[!NOTE]
projectId and teamId are optional — fall back to TP_PROJECT_ID and TP_TEAM_ID from config

projectId and teamId are optional — fall back to TP_PROJECT_ID and TP_TEAM_ID from config

• create_test_plan — Create a test plan linked to a UserStory, Bug, or Feature (title, resourceId, optional resourceType, optional description/startDate/endDate)

[!NOTE]
requires TP_PROJECT_ID,

Test Case Workflows

• write_test_cases — Fetch a card (UserStory, Bug, or Feature) by ID and trigger the full test case writing workflow: Claude analyzes the card, generates detailed test cases covering happy path, edge cases, and error scenarios, creates a linked test plan via create_test_plan, then calls add_test_cases_to_test_plan. Each test case description contains Preconditions and Test Type as HTML; steps are passed as a structured array (resourceId, optional resourceType)
• add_test_cases_to_test_plan — Add pre-generated test cases to an existing test plan. Each test case has a name, an HTML description (Preconditions and Test Type only), and a steps array of { description, result } objects — steps are created via the TP test step API rather than embedded in the description (testPlanId, testCases array of {name, description, steps})

Testing

Tests live in tests/ and use Vitest. All tool handlers are extracted to src/handlers/ and tested with mocked TpClient instances — no network calls are made.

npx vitest run        # run all tests once
npx vitest            # watch mode
