Every other project-management MCP server we can find is a bridge to Jira, Linear, Trello or Notion — a translation layer over a tool built for humans clicking. My Fordyce is the tracker and the server. Your coding assistant reads and writes the real backlog: fifteen tools, no adapter in between.
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-fordyce": {
"url": "https://myfordyce.fordycecg.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}The whole setup. Drop it in your MCP client config and the backlog is available in the editor.
Setup
Portal → Settings → API Keys → Generate New Key.
Four lines in your MCP client config. No local install, no npm, no Docker.
"What's in progress?" The assistant reads it. "File a bug for the scroll drift." It writes it.
The Tools
What the assistant can actually call. No hidden surface, no natural-language guessing at an API that was never meant for it.
In Practice
What did I leave in progress yesterday?
Two: TASK-204 "Expose the backlog to the IDE" (epic, no estimate) and TASK-215 "Board scroll drifts on rotate" (bug, high).
The scroll one is fixed. Move it to review and open a task for the regression test.
Moved TASK-215 → Review. Created TASK-221 "Regression test: board scroll on orientation change", type test, linked to TASK-215.
Illustrative, not a recorded session — but every call in it is a real tool.
A Node server ships in the repo with stdio and HTTP transports, plus Docker, Fly.io and Render configs if you would rather run it yourself.
Clients
| Client | Status |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop & Claude Code | Config file, works today. |
| Cursor | Config file, works today. |
| Gemini | Config file, works today. |
| ChatGPT | Experimental. A connector with an open_kanban_board widget exists for developer-mode testing only. |
The ChatGPT path currently passes the API key in the connector URL and is developer-mode only — it needs OAuth before we would put it in front of anyone. We would rather say that here than let you find out.
We build custom software the same way we built this. Prototype early, working software throughout, your code at the end.
