MCP server

tiden mcp starts a stdio Model Context Protocol server. MCP-capable clients can call Tiden through a tool interface instead of shelling out to individual CLI commands.

Start the server​

tiden mcp

The server uses the same config resolution as other CLI commands:

  1. ~/.tiden/config.json
  2. TIDEN_* environment variables
  3. CLI flags

Stdout is reserved for the MCP protocol. Diagnostics go to stderr.

Register with Claude Code​

claude mcp add tiden -- tiden mcp

Typical tools​

The MCP server exposes read operations and safe creates over the public API, including:

  • whoami
  • list_workspaces
  • list_products
  • list_requirements
  • get_requirement
  • create_requirement
  • update_requirement
  • list_tests
  • get_test
  • list_branches
  • create_branch
  • get_merge_preview
  • list_components
  • list_environments
  • list_releases
  • gate_check
  • Quality gate and traceability tools where available

Tool output is compact JSON matching the REST response shapes.

Security​

The MCP server runs locally and uses your API token. Treat any MCP client with access to it as able to perform the exposed Tiden actions for that token.
