AI Developer Tools

This section covers developer-facing AI integrations in Easy8.

It is intended for developers, integration engineers, and agent workflows that need to access Easy8 data or automate common tasks.

What is included

• MCP Server - the Easy8 Model Context Protocol endpoint exposed on /mcp
• Easy8 CLI - the standalone command-line client for Easy8 APIs and agent skills
• Easy8 AI On-premises - infrastructure and deployment guides for customer-managed AI installations

MCP server docs

• Overview - what the MCP server is, where it runs, and how to enable it
• Authentication - API key authentication and effective user identity
• Protocol - supported MCP methods and JSON-RPC examples
• Core tools - built-in Easy8 tools exposed through MCP
• Tool examples - user prompt examples and tools/call parameters
• Plugin tools - optional plugin-provided MCP tools
• Extending tools - registering MCP tools from plugins
• Security and troubleshooting - permissions, errors, and common fixes

Agents and automation

Easy8 supports agent-driven workflows through two main integration points:

• the MCP server, which exposes selected Easy8 capabilities as MCP tools
• the easy8 CLI, which provides machine-readable commands and an installable agent skill

Use the MCP server when the client already supports MCP.

Use the CLI when you want a local command-line tool, shell scripting, CI usage, or agent skill installation.

Typical usage patterns

• connect an MCP-capable client to Easy8 and let it call issue and project tools directly
• use easy8 in scripts or CI jobs to query or update issues and PBIs
• install the Easy8 CLI skill into agent tooling and fetch tasks with short prompts such as fix issue #1234

Notes

• The MCP server is disabled by default and must be enabled by an administrator in Settings -> AI.
• The CLI is distributed separately at Easy8Com/easy8-cli.
