What is the Nifty MCP Server?
Connect your Nifty account to any AI agent and take full control of your project orchestration and workflow management through natural conversation. Nifty provides a comprehensive project management platform, and this integration allows you to retrieve project metadata, create automated task assignments, and monitor milestone progress directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Project & Portfolio Orchestration — List all managed projects and retrieve detailed metadata programmatically to ensure your team's roadmap is always synchronized.
- Task Lifecycle Management — Create, update, and complete tasks directly from the AI interface to maintain high-fidelity workflow automation.
- Milestone & Sprint Intelligence — Access and monitor project milestones via natural language to drive better team alignment and deadline transparency.
- Portfolio Monitoring — Access and monitor your project portfolios and retrieve status metadata using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage user profile metadata to ensure your project operations are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Nifty Access Token from your app settings
3. Start managing your projects from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual status checking or context switching. Your AI acts as a dedicated project coordinator or agile lead.
Who is this for?
- Project Managers & Product Leads — quickly retrieve project summaries and monitor task health without switching apps.
- Agile Teams — automate the creation of tasks and track milestone completion via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of portfolio metadata and monitor organizational health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific task by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_task tool with the Task ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including assignee details, current status, and due dates in seconds.
How do I find my Nifty Access Token?
Log in to your Nifty account (Business Plan or above required), navigate to App Center > Integrate with API, and you will find your unique secret token there.
Can I use the AI to mark a milestone as complete?
The current MCP implementation allows you to monitor milestones and manage tasks. To update a milestone status, we recommend using the Nifty dashboard while we expand tool capabilities.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
