Background
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard — created by Anthropic — that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter that allows your AI to take action in the real world.
With the Redbooth MCP server installed, your AI assistant gains the ability to read tasks, create and update work items, fetch project status, and interact with your entire Redbooth workspace — all from a simple conversation.
Open standard
Built on Anthropic's MCP spec
Secure by default
OAuth-based authorization
Works with Claude
And any MCP-compatible client
Use Cases
What you can do with it
Capture tasks from anywhere
Tell your AI assistant what needs doing — in a message, a meeting note, a rough idea — and it creates well-structured tasks in Redbooth with the right assignee, due date, and workspace.
Get instant project status
Ask "what's blocking the launch?" or "which tasks are overdue this week?" and your AI reads the board and gives you a concise, actionable summary — no dashboard hunting needed.
Automate routine workflows
Turn meeting notes into tasks, generate standup reports from completed work, or set up recurring reminders — all through natural language, without building any integrations yourself.
Build AI agents on Redbooth
Developers can build custom agents that use Redbooth as their task persistence layer. Use the MCP server as a backend for autonomous workflows, approval queues, or intelligent project orchestration.
Setup
Get connected in minutes
The Redbooth MCP server is a hosted, remote server — there's nothing to install. Point any MCP-compatible client at the URL below and sign in with your Redbooth account.
Server URL
https://redbooth.com/api/mcp Authorization uses OAuth — you'll be prompted to sign in to Redbooth and approve access. Your credentials are never shared with the AI client.
Open your MCP client
Use Claude (Desktop, web, or Code) or any other MCP-compatible assistant, and go to its connectors / MCP servers settings.
Add a custom connector
Choose "Add custom connector" (or the equivalent) and paste the Redbooth server URL above.
Sign in to Redbooth
Complete the OAuth prompt with your Redbooth account and approve the requested permissions. Any Pro or Business account works.
Start giving instructions
Ask your assistant to create tasks, summarize projects, or automate workflows — it now acts directly on your Redbooth workspace.
