Shortcut MCP. Audit your whole project from conversation.

Your AI client doesn't have to click through endless boards just to get answers. This server gives your agent direct, administrative access to everything in your Shortcut project management environment, letting you treat it like a raw data source instead of a pretty dashboard. You can turn natural conversation into actionable API calls that pull the exact info you need.

Think of this setup as having a full-time auditor on retainer who knows every corner of your backlog and process flow. It lets you interrogate backlogs, audit sprints, and check team structure without ever opening the main web UI or touching a single button. You're working with the system’s underlying data layer.

When you need to find something specific, search_stories searches the entire backlog for stories using keywords or filters; it finds tickets across all projects that match what you’re looking for. If you zero in on one ticket and need every detail—the full description, sub-tasks, and history of changes—you use get_story_details to pull everything associated with a single ticket ID.

For tracking the big picture, you can audit your project roadmaps by running list_epics to get a list of all high-level Epics in your workspace. You'll also run list_iterations to see every active sprint or time-boxed cycle for the whole project. This lets you track roadmap status without having to open up the main dashboard and click through multiple tabs.

To map out who's running what, you can pull a list of all workspace members using list_members. You also use list_projects when you need to identify every distinct project that exists within your overall Shortcut account structure. This gives you a complete scope of the organization’s work.

If you wanna check how things actually flow, you run list_workflows to see every possible state and transition path an issue can take in your company. That's your blueprint for process auditing. You can also use list_workflows to understand every defined workflow and all the specific states a story might pass through.

This comprehensive set of tools means you don’t have to guess where data lives or spend time navigating menus. Your agent handles the heavy lifting, giving you clean, raw data sets instantly—whether that's checking the full scope of your project structure via list_projects, getting a snapshot of all active sprints with list_iterations, or locating one obscure ticket deep in the backlog using search_stories.

It’s pure power for your agent to run these administrative checks and audits right where you write code.
