pingcode-mcp 0.1.1

MCP server for PingCode project management — manage projects, sprints, and work items via any MCP client.

PingCode MCP Server

MCP server for PingCode project management. Manage projects, sprints, and work items (stories, bugs, tasks, epics) from any MCP client.

Built with Python, OAuth2 authentication, and the FastMCP framework.

Features

• 10 MCP tools covering full CRUD for work items, sprint listing, project listing, and metadata queries
• OAuth2 client credentials authentication (no browser required)
• Auto-pagination for large result sets
• Retry with exponential backoff on transient failures
• Docker support for one-command deployment

Quick Start

1. Get PingCode OAuth2 Credentials

In PingCode admin panel: Settings → Applications → Create App to obtain client_id and client_secret.

2. Configure

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials

3. Run

Option A: Docker (recommended)

docker compose up --build -d

Option B: Local (development)

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pingcode-mcp-server
