Install

npm i -g @polza-ai/yandex-tracker-cli
tracker init

tracker init --project creates .tracker.json in the current folder.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The tracker tool covers everyday issue work: search by queue, assignee, status and TQL, creating and updating issues, status changes with resolution, comments, time logging, checklists, links, attachments and the current sprint. Every command accepts --json and returns a stable envelope with ok and data or error, while logs go to stderr. A project .tracker.json overrides queue, board, token and status mapping, which helps with several organizations. The repository includes a SKILL.md describing the agent workflow from picking an issue to handing it off for review.

Who it is for. For developers who run issues in Yandex Tracker and want an agent to pick up issues, comment and move statuses.

Good fit when

  • The agent should read an issue and report progress while working
  • You need to log time and maintain a checklist from the terminal
  • You work with several client trackers in different folders

Not a fit when

  • You need an MCP server rather than a CLI
  • You need Yandex 360 Wiki and Forms

Example request

Take my highest-priority open issue in the sprint, move it to in progress and post a plan as a comment

Limitations

Requires Node.js 20+ and a Yandex 360 OAuth token or a Yandex Cloud IAM token. A token in .tracker.json is easy to commit by accident, so add the file to .gitignore. When a project overrides the token, the login for --assignee me still comes from the global config. GitHub shows no license for the repo, although the README links to MIT.

How to disable. Run npm uninstall -g @polza-ai/yandex-tracker-cli, delete ~/.tracker-cli/config.json and remove SKILL.md from the project.

Security check

  • Creates and edits issues, statuses and worklogs in a live Tracker
  • Stores the OAuth token in config files

README in short

The README shows npm install and thirteen commands with examples. It describes the JSON envelope for agents and wiring SKILL.md into Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf. It covers global and project configs, lookup order and token caveats. A collapsible reference lists flags for each command, including link direction and duration formats. Published by Polza.ai.
