Taiga MCP Connector
Overview
This skill enables Claude to interact with Taiga through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a bridge between Claude's AI capabilities and Taiga's REST API, allowing natural language control of Taiga operations, intelligent automation, and AI-powered assistance for Taiga workflows.
When to Use This Skill
- User story creation from natural language requirements
- Sprint velocity tracking and forecasting
- Kanban board optimization suggestions
- Epic decomposition into stories and tasks
- Burndown chart analysis and risk identification

Core Concepts
MCP Server Setup
The connector implements an MCP server that exposes Taiga operations as tools Claude can invoke. The server translates natural language intentions into REST API calls.
Key Endpoints/Interfaces
/api/v1/userstories, /api/v1/tasks, /api/v1/milestones, /api/v1/epics, /api/v1/issues
Implementation
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { z } from "zod";
const server = new McpServer({
name: "taiga-mcp-connector",
version: "1.0.0",
});
server.tool(
"list_resources",
"List and query Taiga resources with optional filters",
{
query: z.string().optional().describe("Search query or filter"),
limit: z.number().optional().describe("Max results to return"),
},
async ({ query, limit }) => {
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/v1/userstories`, {
headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
});
const data = await response.json();
return {
: [{ : , : .(data, , ) }],
};
}
);
server.(
,
,
{
: z.().(),
: z.({}).().().(),
},
({ name, config }) => {
response = (, {
: ,
: {
: ,
: ,
},
: .({ name, ...config }),
});
data = response.();
{
: [{ : , : }],
};
}
);
server.(
,
,
{
: z.().(),
: z.().().(),
},
({ , timeframe }) => {
response = (, {
: { : },
});
data = response.();
{
: [{ : , : .(data, , ) }],
};
}
);
transport = ();
server.(transport);

Best Practices
- Authentication: Store API keys securely using environment variables; never hardcode credentials
- Rate Limiting: Implement request throttling to respect Taiga API rate limits
- Error Handling: Provide clear, actionable error messages for common failure scenarios
- Pagination: Handle paginated responses for large datasets efficiently
- Caching: Cache frequently accessed read-only data to reduce API calls
- Security: Validate all inputs before passing to the Taiga API; sanitize outputs
- Logging: Log all API interactions for debugging and audit purposes
Example Prompts
"Break down this epic into user stories with acceptance criteria and assign to the current sprint"
Security Considerations
- All API credentials must be stored as environment variables
- Implement input validation and sanitization for all tool parameters
- Use HTTPS for all API communications
- Follow the principle of least privilege for API token permissions
- Audit log all write operations for compliance tracking
