How do I connect BugHerd to my AI client?

You connect the BugHerd MCP via Vinkius. Once you add your BugHerd API key to your Vinkius credentials, you can use it in any MCP-compatible client like Cursor or Claude.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I update existing tasks through the AI?

Yes. You can use the update capability to change a task's description, status, priority, or the person it is assigned to.

Do I need to manually enter my API key every time?

No. You enter your BugHerd API key once in the Vinkius credentials page, and Vinkius manages the connection for you.

Can my agent see all the users in my BugHerd account?

Yes, the MCP includes a capability specifically to list all users within your BugHerd workspace.

Can the AI Agent resolve or close a task automatically?

Yes, using the update_task capability, the agent can change the task status to 'closed' or 'done' within BugHerd.

Are attachments or screenshots supported?

Currently, the MCP Server manages text-based tasks, comments, and project structures. Adding direct screenshot files via AI is not supported in this version.

Can I read comments from any ticket?

Yes! The agent can fetch and read all comments attached to a specific task using the list_comments capability, provided you supply the Project ID and Task ID.

Can I update the status of a bug using the agent?

Yes! Use the update_task capability with the Project ID and Task ID. You can change the status (e.g., 'To Do', 'Doing', 'Done') or priority directly from your workspace.

How do I see the feedback queue for a specific project?

Simply ask the agent to list_feedback and provide the Project ID. It will retrieve all the tasks currently in the Feedback column, allowing you to triage them using natural language.

Does the integration allow creating a new project?

Yes. Use the create_project action and provide the project name and optionally a development URL. The project will be created in your BugHerd organization instantly.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Instant Bug Reporting

When you find a bug in your code, tell your agent to create a BugHerd task immediately.

Rapid Triage

Use your agent to quickly check task comments and update priorities as bugs come in.

Project Auditing

Ask your agent to list all tasks or projects to get a quick status report.

Team Coordination

Have your agent add comments to tasks to notify team members of progress.

Automate a task

Put BugHerd to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

BugHerd works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put BugHerd to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of BugHerd, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with BugHerd. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
