ymcp YouTrack MCP

ymcp is a local toolchain for project work in YouTrack, including self-hosted instances behind a VPN. It has two parts: an MCP server for any AI client, and pipelines that hand issues to coding agents. The MCP server speaks for you with your login and password, ships every tool of YouTrack’s built-in MCP server under the same names, and adds the ones it lacks: deleting things, sprints, attachments, history, time reports, commands and more.
