You'll need an OIDC provider for auth. Keyline is the recommended companion — see docs/architecture.md for setup.

Hivetrack ships an MCP server so AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can read and write issues directly. Auth is handled automatically — the HTTP transport includes an OAuth proxy that redirects to your OIDC provider, and the local binary uses device flow.
Claude Code — one command installs and registers the server:
claude mcp add hivetrack -e HIVETRACK_URL=https://your-hivetrack -- npx hivetrack-mcpIf you already have the binary installed via Homebrew or Go:
claude mcp add hivetrack -e HIVETRACK_URL=https://your-hivetrack -- hivetrack-mcpOther clients — install the binary first:
npx hivetrack-mcp # npm
brew install The127/tap/hivetrack-mcp # Homebrew
go install github.com/the127/hivetrack/mcp/cmd/hivetrack-mcp@latest # GoThen add it to your client's MCP config with HIVETRACK_URL pointing at your instance. Refer to your client's documentation for the exact config format.
