MCP Servers for Issue Tracking and Project Management
Issue trackers are the integration people reach for first, because the alternative is alt-tabbing to a browser every time a ticket number comes up in a code review. Each server here exposes some mix of searching issues, reading a ticket, and writing status changes back.
Auth is where these diverge. Atlassian now offers a hosted endpoint with OAuth consent, while Linear, ClickUp, Asana and Trello all expect a personal token pasted into an env block. Check the individual guide before assuming your team will accept the credential model.
