Update Projects from Your Pipeline

This MCP server gives your scripts a direct handle on AdaptiveWork. The `create_task` tool lets you open new work items programmatically. A common use is in a CI/CD pipeline. After a successful deployment to production, your script can use Claude Code to call `create_task` and automatically generate a verification task for the QA team. It connects your deployment process to your project tracking.

Generate Reports from the Terminal

You can pull any project or task data you need without ever leaving your terminal. The `list_projects` and `list_tasks` tools output clean JSON that you can pipe directly into other command-line utilities like `jq`. This is built for headless automation. Write a simple cron job that runs a shell script, calls this MCP server via Claude Code, and generates a daily status report that gets posted to a Slack channel. No browser required.

Run CZQL from a Claude Code Script

The `run_query` tool lets you execute advanced CZQL queries from any script or command line. It's the most direct way to get custom data sets for operational checks. For an SRE or DevOps engineer, this means you can automate monitoring. Write a script that runs `run_query` to find stalled projects or resource bottlenecks, then pipe the results to your alerting system. It's all done headlessly via Claude Code.

Yes, absolutely. Since Claude Code is a CLI, you can install and run it inside any CI/CD environment. It's perfect for scripting actions like creating a task with `create_task` after a build finishes.

It's built for automation. You're not working in a chat window; you're running commands in scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines. It treats your project management system like any other scriptable service.

Just run a command telling Claude Code to use the `list_projects` tool. It will output a JSON array of your projects, which you can then pipe to another command for processing.
