Shortcut now delivers this as a hosted remote MCP server at mcp.shortcut.com/mcp; the original @shortcut/mcp npm package and GitHub repo are kept for historical reference only.

2026-04-02: LIMITATION: Only valuable for teams already using Shortcut specifically. No value for teams on Jira, Linear, or other project management tools.
Things to check
- Shortcut deprecated the local @shortcut/mcp npm package — all development moved to the hosted remote MCP server at mcp.shortcut.com/mcp, so set up the remote server rather than npx. Requires a Shortcut account; Claude's writes are as permissive as your access allows.
