Overview

The StoriesOnBoard Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides the mechanism for development-focused AI agents, such as Claude Desktop (which functions as an AI coding agent), to directly integrate with and interact with your story maps.

List of available tools

Read tools:

  • ListStoryMaps: Allows the AI to discover and list all available story maps in your workspace, including titles, descriptions, and URLs.

  • GetStoryMapCards: Enables the AI to pull the entire hierarchical structure from Activities → Tasks → Subtasks along with all associated releases. Your AI now understands exactly where a task fits within the user journey.

  • GetStoryMapCardDetails: Provides full access to a specific card’s details, including descriptions, comments, attachments, and linked web resources.

Write tools:

  • CreateStoryMapCard: Allows the creation of activity, task, or subtask cards in a single MCP call, including all common fields.

  • UpdateStoryMapCard: Facilitates the updating of any field combination on an existing card in a single MCP call.

  • GetStoryMapData: A new discovery tool that returns story map-level reference data (like collaborators, colors, statuses, and priority values) required for a valid write tool call.
