YesDev

You can run the YesDev MCP Server to automate daily development time logging and task management for your coding workflow. It exposes a set of MCP tools you can call from compatible clients (like Cursor or VSCode) to create projects, tasks, needs, daily reports, and more, reducing manual entry and giving managers clearer visibility into progress.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the YesDev MCP Server to start creating projects, needs, tasks, and daily reports. You can issue commands to create new items, fetch lists, or submit daily updates. The server is designed to work with your existing MCP client workflow so you can log work without leaving your editor or chat interface.

Example usage patterns you can follow in your MCP client: create a new project for today, convert your today’s work into requirements and tasks, and submit a daily report. You can also retrieve lists of your current tasks, projects, and needs to plan your day.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js version 18.0.0 or higher. You also need npm or yarn as your package manager.

Install the MCP server globally using npm.

npm install -g @yesdevcn/yesdev-mcp-server

Find the installation path for the MCP server binary and ensure it is executable.

$ which yesdev-mcp-server
/Users/you/.nvm/versions/node/v18.XX.X/bin/yesdev-mcp-server
$ chmod +x /Users/you/.nvm/versions/node/v18.XX.X/bin/yesdev-mcp-server

Configuration and usage notes

Before using, obtain your access token from YesDev Project Management to authorize the MCP server.

If you are using Cursor, add the MCP configuration to Cursor so it can call the server from your workspace.

Placeholders are shown for how to reference your local installation path and your token.
