About TAPD MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your agile development lifecycle with TAPD, the professional collaboration platform by Tencent. By connecting TAPD to your agent, you transform complex requirement tracking, bug management, and iteration planning into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your workspaces, create new stories, track defects, and even monitor sprint progress without you ever needing to navigate the complex TAPD enterprise interface. Whether you are following Scrum or Kanban, your agent acts as a real-time product assistant, keeping your development pipeline organized and your team aligned.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple TAPD tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Workspace Management — List all accessible workspaces and retrieve detailed information about your development environment.
- Requirement Tracking — Create and track stories (requirements) with full support for titles and detailed descriptions.
- Defect Management — List and create bugs to keep your quality assurance process moving efficiently.
- Task Operations — Manage granular tasks within your workspaces to stay on top of daily development activities.
