MCP in Lalabase
Lalabase has its own MCP server. With it, an AI agent such as Claude Code works directly with your projects: it reads tickets and your inbox, finds knowledge, uses code context, creates tickets, comments, changes status, assignees and title, and books time. Nothing has to be copied from the browser into the editor.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI tools reach external systems. Lalabase hands the agent a list of tools, and the agent calls them when it needs them. You keep writing what you want in plain language.
How to start
- Create a token, read-only at first.
- Connect Claude Code or another client.
- Ask the agent: "Which Lalabase projects can you reach?"
What an agent can do
| Area | Read | Write |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets | lists, search, a ticket with comments and attachments | create, comment, change status, assignees and title |
| Inbox and time | unread notifications of all organisations, booked time | mark a notification as read, book time |
| Knowledge and code | find notes and documents, project vision, capabilities, code symbols | nothing |
| People and organisations | people directory, organisations, projects | nothing |
All 19 tools are in the overview. An agent cannot delete anything over MCP, and it cannot change an existing comment.
What you decide
The token decides how far an agent gets. It is read-only by default, lasts 90 days at most and never reaches further than your own rights. More under rights and safety.
Which way for what
| Way | For | Writes to Lalabase |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant in Lalabase | questions in the app, with your organisation's AI settings | not by itself |
| Agent over MCP | work from the editor or terminal, with the agent of your choice | yes, with a token that may write |
| REST API | your own scripts and integrations | yes, with a token that may write |
| CLI tool | tickets in the terminal, starting Claude Code on a ticket with one key | yes, with a token that may write |
All three ways from outside use the same token and the same rights. The agent brings its own model, so MCP works without Lalabase's AI features too. Only the code tools need them, since reading in a repository runs on your organisation's AI.
