Short answer

How can I use my AI to handle scrum tasks?

You tell your AI client what you need, and it executes the changes in your scrum tool. It handles everything from drafting new user stories to modifying current task details. You get a direct line from your chat interface to your development backlog.

Task outcomes

Where your changes land.

Every command you give your agent results in a specific update to your scrum environment.

NEW ITEM

Fresh user stories

Your AI creates new entries in your backlog based on your descriptions. This populates your sprint or backlog immediately.

MODIFIED

Updated task details

The AI changes existing descriptions or fields. You can fix typos or add technical requirements without leaving your chat.

READ ONLY

Current task status

Your agent pulls the latest information from your board. You can ask what's due or what's blocked to get instant answers.

HUMAN

Final review

You decide if the AI's drafted stories meet your standards. You remain the final authority on what actually gets committed to the sprint.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI translates your plain English instructions into specific tool calls.

  1. Fetch context

    The agent looks up the current state of your backlog or a specific task to understand what needs changing.

    get_item

  2. Draft new stories

    When you describe a new feature, the AI builds the task entry in your system.

    create_item

  3. Apply edits

    The agent modifies the details of a task you've already identified.

    update_item

  4. Confirm changes

    The AI uses the existing data to ensure the update matches your intent before finishing.

    get_itemupdate_item

    No. This MCP only supports creating, updating, and getting items. It cannot delete anything.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide when a task is finished?

    No. The AI only performs the updates you request. You decide when a task's status should change.

    Can I use this with Cursor or Claude?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client like Cursor, Claude, or Windsurf works with this.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my task settings without asking?

    The AI only executes the specific actions you prompt it to do. It doesn't make autonomous changes to your board.

    How does the AI know which task I'm talking about?

    You can provide the task ID or name in your prompt, and the agent will use the retrieval tool to find the right item.
