Perplexity

Create and scope new projects

The `create_project` tool lets your agent initialize a zipBoard project directly from the terminal. You pass data as a JSON string, which immediately scopes the work. This means you don't have to manually set up environment variables; just tell Cline what project needs building.

Write code for task tracking

You can use `create_task` to generate an issue, and then write a script that interacts with it. Your agent uses the data to create component stubs or test files. When you run tests against this data, Cline shows you exactly which tasks are flagged as incomplete.

Examine project file listings

If you need a list of all assets, `list_files` retrieves the URLs and paths for every project file. This is perfect for generating an inventory script. Similarly, `list_projects` gives your agent a clean array of all available zipBoard boards to loop through in a deployment script.

Yeah. You can use `list_tasks` to pull a list of issues into your code, then write logic that checks status codes or flags tasks based on external data feeds.

It exposes detailed project metadata, task records, file URLs, and organization context. This allows your agent to build complex reports that combine several sources of truth into one component.

Of course. `list_projects` gives you the full catalogue of boards via CLI output, which is ideal for iterating over multiple environments in a deployment script.

This MCP Server touches project metadata, task records, and file URLs. When piping this information to other tools, you should always audit the sensitive nature of the data being processed.
