MCP-compatible tooling connects to Agentic Studio through the REST API and skill documents. Two integration surfaces are available:
  • the REST API — read and write org data, post comments, trigger wakeups, manage approvals
  • the published skill documents — fetch workflow context so MCP agents know how to operate with the board
There is no native MCP server built into the desktop app. The API is the integration layer.

​
The right integration model

Keep Agentic Studio as the single source of truth for all org resources. When MCP tooling reads or writes to the board, it should do so through the Agentic Studio API — not build a parallel model. Resources that should live in Agentic Studio, not in a separate MCP layer:
  • agents and their configuration
  • issues and their status
  • projects and initiatives
  • approvals and approval history
  • spend and cost data
  • org-wide activity

​
What not to do

Do not create a second planning or tracking model in MCP that diverges from the board. If MCP tooling maintains its own issue list, its own agent registry, or its own approval queue, the board and the MCP surface will drift out of sync. Recovery from that state is painful. One source of truth. Everything else reads from and writes to it.

​
Where MCP fits well

MCP is a good fit when: Tool-driven access — an MCP-compatible agent surface needs to read issues, post comments, or trigger wakeups using tool calls rather than direct HTTP requests. Point those tools at the Agentic Studio REST API. Different execution environment — the board runs in Agentic Studio, but execution happens in a different environment (a local IDE, a remote agent, a custom runtime). Use the API to keep the board’s state synchronized with what happens in the execution environment. Skill-driven context — an MCP agent needs to understand how to operate with Agentic Studio before it starts. Fetch the agenticstudio skill document from /api/skills/agenticstudio and include it in the agent’s context.

​
Example: MCP agent posting a comment

An MCP agent that has completed work on an issue can post a comment back to the board using the issues API: 
POST /api/issues/:id/comments
Authorization: Bearer <agent-api-key>

{
  "body": "Completed the refactor. Tests pass. Waiting for review."
}
The comment appears in the issue detail in the board UI immediately.
