Productboard tells Rippit what your product team plans to build and why: the features on the roadmap, the specs behind them, and the feedback already attached to them. Joined to conversation analysis, “customers keep asking for bulk export” becomes “customers keep asking for bulk export, there is a feature for it in Productboard with 12 linked notes, and it is not on a release yet.”

What the agent gets

  • Search across your workspace by keyword, meaning, or filter.
  • Specs and documents: full spec content, and the contents of teamspaces, folders, and personal spaces.
  • Product hierarchy: features, subfeatures, initiatives, releases, objectives, and key results.
  • Feedback: notes, companies, and users.
  • Writes, only if you enable them: edit specs, post comments, change status, create and update features and other items, update prioritization fields, and manage documents and folders.

Setup

  1. A Productboard admin turns on MCP under Settings → MCP Server and, optionally, limits which roles can use it.
  2. In Rippit, open Connections → MCP Servers, choose Productboard, and sign in to Productboard. There is no Productboard app or API token to set up.
Rippit connects to Productboard’s US server. Productboard does not document an MCP server for workspaces hosted in the EU. If sign-in is refused, check that MCP is turned on for the workspace and that your role is allowed to use it.

Identity and scope

The connection acts as the Productboard user who signed in, with that user’s permissions. A space or item the user cannot see is one the agent cannot see. Productboard sets the connection’s access from the user’s role. Viewers get read access only, and Contributors cannot create or change features.

Write access

The connection starts read-only: tools that create or change Productboard content stay off until you enable them under Tool permissions. Productboard records every write in version history. Comments and status changes notify your teammates, so enabling those tools lets the agent send notifications as you.

Tools

You choose which tools the agent can use under Tool permissions on the server’s page, one at a time or a whole group at once. See Setting one up. Productboard does not publish a tool list, so Tool permissions shows the exact list for your connection. Which tools start enabled depends on how Productboard marks each one, so check after connecting and turn off anything you don’t want the agent to use.
