Does 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp work with Claude Desktop?

Yes. The repository provides a Claude Desktop configuration using the `npx -y codebeamer-mcp` command and the three required Codebeamer environment variables.

What credentials does 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp need?

It requires a Codebeamer API URL, login username, and password through `CB_URL`, `CB_USERNAME`, and `CB_PASSWORD`.

Can 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp create and update Codebeamer items?

Yes. It can create items with folders, item types, and parent nesting, and update names, descriptions, status, priority, assignees, and custom fields.

Overview

3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp MCP server exposes Codebeamer ALM operations to MCP clients through the Codebeamer REST API v3. It supports reading projects, trackers, items, relations, references, comments, reviews, and users, along with writing items, comments, associations, references, and harms. Run it locally with Node.js and configure the Codebeamer URL, username, and password as environment variables. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect or update Codebeamer data using natural-language requests.

How Codebeamer MCP works

What 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp does

The 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp MCP server connects an MCP client to a Codebeamer ALM instance. It provides tools for navigating projects and trackers, finding work items, reading item content and structured fields, and retrieving related lifecycle information.

Read operations cover project and tracker metadata, tracker contents, full-text or cbQL searches, item summaries, detailed item data, relations, traceability references, comments, Review Hub reviews, and user records. Detailed item results can include priority, assignees, timestamps, story points, custom fields, and test steps. The lightweight item lookup includes the description, while the detailed lookup omits it.

Write operations can create and update tracker items, add comments, connect items with associations, add downstream traceability references, and create harm entries in an RM Harms List tracker. Harm creation accepts an IMDRF code and a severity from 1 through 5.

How it works

The server runs as a local standard-input/output process and sends requests to Codebeamer’s REST API. The configured base URL identifies the Codebeamer API endpoint; the server appends the configured API version path, which defaults to v3. MCP clients invoke the exposed tools, while Codebeamer performs the underlying project, tracker, item, review, and risk-management operations.

The repository documents configuration for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and Gemini CLI. The listed MCP configurations use npx -y codebeamer-mcp as the process command. A global npm installation or a build from source is also documented.

Setup and configuration

The 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp server requires Node.js 20 or newer and access to a Codebeamer instance. Set these required variables before starting it:

CB_URL: Codebeamer API URL. The server adds /v3 by default.
CB_USERNAME: Codebeamer login username.
CB_PASSWORD: Codebeamer password.

Optional settings control connection and request behavior:

CB_UNSAFE_SSL: Set to true for unverified or self-signed certificates; the default is false.
CB_API_VERSION: API version, defaulting to v3.
CB_TIMEOUT_MS: Request timeout in milliseconds, defaulting to 30000.
CB_MAX_ITEMS: Maximum items per page, defaulting to 100.

The README warns against committing MCP configuration files containing real credentials. For development, the project includes npm build and test commands and a mock API server that does not require a real Codebeamer instance.

Tools and capabilities

The tool set is divided into read and write operations. Read tools can enumerate projects, inspect trackers, search items, retrieve item metadata, and examine relations, references, comments, reviews, and users. Write tools support item creation and updates, comments, item associations, traceability references, and RM harm records.

Item creation supports folders, item types, and parent nesting. Item updates can change names, descriptions, status, priority, assignee, and custom fields. Associations can represent links such as dependencies or blocking relationships, while references support downstream traceability between items.

Limitations and notes

The 3KniGHtcZ/codebeamer-mcp server depends on a reachable Codebeamer deployment and valid username and password credentials. Its documented API target is Codebeamer REST API v3 by default, although the API version can be changed through configuration. Operations and returned fields depend on the permissions, trackers, item types, custom fields, and Review Hub data available in the connected Codebeamer instance.

The project documentation lists Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and Gemini CLI configurations. It does not document an OAuth flow or API-key authentication; setup uses Codebeamer username and password variables instead.
