Connecting Claude Code to your project board over MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets an assistant like Claude call tools that live outside it. Projectify is an MCP server: once Claude is connected, it can read your project and work on it the same way a teammate would. The short version lives on the Claude Code page; this is the long one, step by step. claude.ai and Claude Desktop take the same URL as a custom connector.

1. Add the server

In a terminal where you use Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http projectify https://api.projectify.si/mcp

That registers the server for your user. Nothing is shared yet: Claude still has to be approved.

2. Approve it in your browser

Inside Claude Code, run /mcp, pick projectify and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens Projectify, you sign in and approve the connection. From then on, everything Claude does is recorded as Claude for you.

3. Let it find your project

Ask Claude to call find_project with your repository's remote URL. If the repo is already on a board, it says which project. If not, it offers to onboard it: a short brief, the project rules and the first tasks.

4. Start a session

Each session starts with start_session, which returns a briefing:

• the Brief: what the project is and how it is built
• the project rules, which come before Claude's own defaults
• who is working right now, so it keeps out of their way
• the latest handoff from the previous session

That briefing is the difference between an assistant that starts cold and one that picks up where the last one stopped.

What it will not do

Claude acts with your permissions, no more. It cannot see projects you cannot see, and it cannot change a task someone else has claimed. It will tell you what ranks above a request before it starts, and wait for your OK.
