PM Copilot

An MCP server that triangulates customer support tickets, feature requests, and AI support agent conversations to help PMs decide what to build next.

Real results: Analyzed 3,353 signals in one 30-day window — 1,678 support tickets, 276 feature requests, and 1,399 AI support agent conversations across 4 products. Top priority: Booking & Scheduling — 285 tickets + 74 feature requests + 347 chats pointing at the same problem, with the AI agent answering with low confidence in 48% of those chats.

The 1,399 chats are the point. None of them were visible to the analysis before v1.4.0, and they are 83% the volume of the ticket channel.

Read the full story: I built an MCP server that changed how I prioritize products — why I built this, how convergent signals work in practice, and what I learned building with Claude Code.

What Makes This Different

• Signal triangulation. Matches support tickets against feature requests to find convergent themes, then scores them with a weighted formula that gives convergent signals a 2x priority boost.
• The deflection blind spot. An AI support agent answers questions that never become tickets, so ticket-based prioritization undercounts every theme the bot handles — and the gap widens as the bot improves. Chatbase conversations are pulled in as a third signal class, with a per-theme self_serve_failure_rate showing where self-serve is failing.
• Composability. Works alongside other MCP servers. Pass churn data from Metabase or traffic trends from Google Analytics into generate_product_plan via kpi_context, and the methodology adjusts priorities accordingly.
• Built-in PM methodology. Opinionated scoring based on 7 years of product management across 9 products and 1M+ users. It's a real decision-making process exposed as an MCP resource, not a generic framework.
• PII scrubbing. Customer data never reaches the LLM unfiltered. SSNs, credit cards (Luhn-validated), emails, and phone numbers are redacted before analysis. Agent responses are filtered out of quotes.

Claude orchestrates multiple MCP servers. PM Copilot handles qualitative customer signals. Other servers provide quantitative business metrics. The kpi_context parameter is the integration point — no point-to-point integrations required.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/dkships/pm-copilot.git
cd pm-copilot
npm install
cp .env.example .env   # Edit with your credentials
npm run build

Credentials

HelpScout is required. ProductLift and Chatbase are both optional — configure either, both, or neither, and the analysis adapts.

Chatbase API access needs a Chatbase Standard plan or higher. On a lower plan the API returns 403 and the deflection signal is reported as a warning rather than failing the whole analysis. One agent per product is the useful shape — agents give you product-level attribution that a shared support mailbox does not.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pm-copilot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/pm-copilot/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add pm-copilot -- node /absolute/path/to/pm-copilot/dist/index.js

Or use the .mcp.json already in the project root — Claude Code picks it up automatically.

Tools

synthesize_feedback

Cross-references HelpScout tickets, ProductLift feature requests, and Chatbase conversations, returns theme-matched analysis with priority scores.

Returns themes sorted by priority score, each with reactive/proactive counts, convergence flag, evidence summaries, and representative customer quotes.

generate_product_plan

Builds a prioritized product plan with evidence and customer quotes. Accepts external business metrics via kpi_context.

get_feature_requests

Raw ProductLift data access for browsing feature requests directly. Each request includes its public url.

list_sources

Lists the data sources the server is connected to — HelpScout mailboxes (id + name), ProductLift portals (name + url), and Chatbase agents (name + id) — so you can discover the names to pass to mailbox_name / portal_name / agent_name. When Chatbase is configured it also returns chatbase_conversation_sources, the values source_filter accepts (a fixed list from the Chatbase docs, not queried per account). Read-only; never returns API keys or customer data. Takes no parameters.

Signal classes

Three sources, three different things they tell you. Only the first two feed the convergence rule.

Deflected signals count toward frequency and carry two evidence fields per theme, but they do not enter the severity or vote-momentum terms and do not change the 2x convergence boost. The formula is unchanged from v2.1:

• deflected_count — conversations matching the theme
• self_serve_failure_rate — share of those conversations where the agent's lowest answer confidence fell below 0.5
• mean_answer_confidence — mean of that same score
