How to Use the VivifyScrum MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I list boards with VivifyScrum and Claude Code?

You execute the command vivifyscrum mcp list-boards. This calls the listboards tool. The output is clean JSON that your shell script can immediately parse for subsequent steps.

Q: Can I update a story status with VivifyScrum and Claude Code?

Yes. Your pipeline scripts call getitem to grab the necessary ID, then execute the updateitem tool with the required status change payload. This is perfect for automated QA checks.

Q: What if I need to check all available teams in VivifyScrum using Claude Code?

Run the command vivifyscrum mcp list-teams. The tool executes listteams and returns a structured array of team identifiers. You can then use these IDs in subsequent scripts.

Perplexity

Automate Backlog Synchronization

Set up a cron job that checks for outdated stories. The script first runs `list_boards` to get all project scopes, then iterates using `list_board_items`. If an item is incomplete, it triggers a warning or calls `update_item` to change its status. This process ensures your backlog data always matches the current state of development.

Extract Historical Performance Data

Build a dedicated pipeline step for reporting. The script runs `get_worklogs`, pulling all time spent on specific boards over a given period. This output is then piped to an external analytics tool. It also uses `list_teams` to group these work logs by resource, giving you clear capacity metrics.

Manage Project Metadata at Scale

When onboarding a new client, your CI script runs the setup. It calls `get_account_info` for initial credentials and then uses `list_organizations` to ensure all necessary organizational scopes are available. It also lists configured webhooks via `list_webhooks`, allowing your deployment job to verify that external integrations are correctly set up.
