MCP-Zentao

MCP-Zentao is an MCP server that provides an API integration for the Zentao (禅道) project management system. Software engineers, QA testers, and project managers using AI editors like Cursor use this server to interact with Zentao workflows directly within their coding workspace. By encapsulating Zentao's v1 API into accessible tools, the server enables AI assistants to query assigned workloads and alter issue lifecycles without switching contexts to a browser. Users can retrieve assigned tasks, query bug reports, mark specific tasks as completed, and resolve defects with structured resolutions and comments. The server includes automatic authentication handling and supports credential persistence via local configuration files or Docker environment variables. It abstracts complex Zentao API logic into type-safe operations, enabling conversational interfaces to read and update enterprise project data directly from the development environment.
