Beans MCP Overview

The beans-mcp MCP server connects AI agents to the Beans CLI issue tracker and its workspace files. It exposes MCP tools for searching, viewing, creating, updating, deleting, archiving, and reopening beans, plus editing files under `.beans`.

Reach for it when an agent needs to manage Beans issues or generate workspace-aware context.

Primary Use Cases for Beans MCP:
  • Query ready Beans issues for an agent
  • Create tasks under an existing parent bean
  • Update statuses and priorities in bulk
  • Inspect or edit `.beans` workspace files
