Work from Your Own AI (MCP)

Besides the agents you configure inside the workspace, you can connect your own AI assistant — Claude Code or any MCP-capable client running on your machine — and have it operate the workspace directly. This is the Model Context Protocol (MCP): an open standard that exposes XPT Tracker as a set of tools your assistant can call.

The point is full, hands-on operation of XPT Tracker from where the work happens — your editor, your terminal. Instead of switching to the web app to file a task, the assistant you're already talking to files it. Instead of copy-pasting a plan into a doc, it writes it straight into the knowledge base. A connected assistant can:

• plan a piece of work and create the project, milestones, and tasks for it;
• pick up a task, read its context, do the work, and move it across the board — following your workspace's AI Workflows;
• write results, decisions, and learnings into the knowledge base;
• take part in channels, brainstorms, and task threads.

Everything it does runs through the same permissions and business rules as the web app — there's no back door — and every action is attributed to the person who owns the key.

This section covers:

• Connect to Claude (MCP) — generate a key, connect a client, and what the toolset can do.
• Workflows in Your AI Client — how your workspace's AI Workflows appear in the client as tools and slash commands.
