Configuration

Claude Desktop Setup

To use the Backlog MCP server with Claude Desktop, edit the following configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "advanced-backlog-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/advanced-backlog-mcp-server/build/index.js",
      "env": {
        "BACKLOG_DOMAIN": "your-domain.backlog.com",
        "BACKLOG_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting the Command Path

To get the correct path for the command field, run the following in the repository directory after building:

echo "\\"$(pwd)/build/index.js\\""

This will display the path to use in the command field.

Example: "/Users/username/development/mcp-servers/advanced-backlog-mcp-server/build/index.js"

On macOS, you can copy this directly to your clipboard with:

echo "\\"$(pwd)/build/index.js\\"" | pbcopy

API Key Setup

You can get your API key from your Backlog account settings.
