Yougile MCP Server

The Yougile MCP Server brings the power of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to Yougile, allowing AI agents and developer tools to interact programmatically with your Yougile workspace.

Features

• Type-Safe: Built with TypeScript for enhanced reliability and maintainability
• Well-Documented: Comprehensive JSDoc comments for all exported functions
• Refactored: Shared helper functions reduce code duplication
• Modern Dependencies: Updated to latest stable versions (Yargs v18, Zod v4, ESLint v10)

What can you do with it?

This server unlocks all sorts of useful capabilities for anyone working with Yougile:

• Manage projects (get, create, update)
• Manage tasks (get, create, update, assign)
• Manage users (invite, get details, update)
• Manage boards and columns
• Update task statuses and move tasks between columns
• Build smart apps that interact naturally with Yougile

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20.19 or higher
• A Yougile account with appropriate permissions
• An API key for your Yougile company

Getting Your Yougile API Key

Method 1: Using Yougile Configurator (Recommended)

The easiest way to get your API key is through the built-in Yougile configurator.

How to open the configurator:

• Press Ctrl + ~ in the Yougile app, or
• Go to the Projects page → click the gear icon ⚙️ next to your company name → select "Configure" (Настроить)

Once in the configurator:

1. Navigate to API settings
2. Generate or copy your API key

Method 2: Using cURL

You can get your API key programmatically using the following cURL command:

curl -X POST "https://yougile.com/api-v2/auth/keys" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "login": "your_email@example.com",
    "password": "your_password",
    "companyId": "your_company_id"
  }'

Note: This creates a new API key. Make sure to save the returned API key securely.

Method 3: Get existing API keys

To retrieve your existing API keys:

curl -X POST "https://yougile.com/api-v2/auth/keys/get" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "login": "your_email@example.com",
    "password": "your_password"
  }'

Getting Company ID

You'll need your Company ID for some API operations. Here are the ways to get it:

Keyboard Shortcut (Recommended)

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Q (Windows/Linux) or Ctrl + Option + Q (Mac) in Yougile
• The Company ID will appear on screen and automatically copy to your clipboard

Via API

• Use the /api-v2/auth/companies endpoint with your login credentials to list all your companies

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the server:

npm run build

Configuration

MCP Configuration

The server is configured through the global MCP configuration file. Update the configuration with your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yougile-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "D:\\Projects\\yougile-mcp\\yougile.cjs"
      ],
      "env": {
        "YOUGILE_API_KEY": "your_actual_api_key_here"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "alwaysAllow": []
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible tools, you can add Yougile by updating your global MCP configuration file ( typically located at C:\Users\{username}\.kilocode\globalStorage\kilo code.kilo-code\settings\mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yougile-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "D:\\Projects\\yougile-mcp\\yougile.cjs"
      ],
      "env": {
        "YOUGILE_API_KEY": "your_actual_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, if you prefer to manage your API key through system environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yougile-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "D:\\Projects\\yougile-mcp\\yougile.cjs"
      ],
      "env": {
        "YOUGILE_API_KEY": "${env.YOUGILE_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

If you experience "MCP error -32000: Connection closed" when working with different projects:

1. Make sure the server file extension is .cjs (CommonJS) rather than .js (ES modules) to properly support __dirname
2. Ensure that the path in your MCP configuration points to yougile.cjs and not yougile.js
3. If the problem persists, check that your global MCP configuration is properly set up
4. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, KiloCode, etc.) after making configuration changes

API Coverage

This MCP server implements ~30% of the YouGile API v2.0 endpoints.

⚠️ Important API Notes

1. projectId filter is NOT supported by YouGile API for get_tasks! Use columnId or assignedTo instead.
2. assignedTo filter works correctly for all projects when querying tasks.
3. Task codes like "SAI-515" work in get_task - the API accepts both UUID and task codes.
4. Use get_user_tasks for a complete list of user's tasks across all projects.
