What it does
The server wraps YouGile with a broad tool set grouped by area: authentication, companies and departments, projects, boards and columns, tasks including extended operations, chats, stickers, files, users and webhooks. There is a separate prompts module with ready scenarios for communication, filtering, project and workflow processes that help the agent phrase API requests well. Connecting to YouGile uses the account's email and password plus a company id, rather than an API key; the company id is found via Ctrl + ~ in the YouGile interface.
Who it is for. For YouGile teams who want to manage tasks, boards and reports through a conversation with an agent
Good fit when
- You want to create and update YouGile tasks from a chat with an agent
- You need team productivity reports and sprint planning
- You need broad team management: invites, roles, departments
Not a fit when
- You do not want to store a YouGile account password in the config instead of a separate API key
- You need an actively maintained version: the last push was over a year ago
Example request

Environment variables
YOUGILE_EMAILrequired, secret- YouGile account email for sign-in
YOUGILE_PASSWORDrequired, secret- YouGile account password for sign-in

YOUGILE_BASE_URL- YouGile base URL, defaults to https://yougile.com
Limitations
The project has not been updated in over a year at the time of review, though it gathered 12 stars and the code remains functional. Authorization uses the account's email and password plus a company id rather than a separate API key, which is less safe if the MCP client config is compromised.
How to disable. Remove the server from your MCP client config and deactivate the venv virtual environment if it is no longer needed.
FAQ
Do I need a separate YouGile API key?
No, the server signs in with the account's email and password plus a company id; this version has no separate API key.
What to do about an HTTP 401 error?
Check the login and password; the README suggests first signing in with the same credentials via the browser.
How is YouGile MCP from HeadWise different from other YouGile servers?
The Python server wraps YouGile with a wide set of tools by area: authentication, companies and departments, projects, boards and columns, tasks with advanced operations, chats, stickers and webhooks. Ready prompts for work scenarios come with it.
Do I need a separate YouGile API key and what about HTTP 401?
No separate API key is needed: the server signs in with your YouGile email, password and company ID (YOUGILE_EMAIL, YOUGILE_PASSWORD). A 401 means the sign-in data is wrong. Install via venv and pip install -r requirements.txt. It works in Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

README in short
The Russian README describes installation via venv and requirements.txt, finding the company id via Ctrl + ~ in the YouGile interface, config for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, example phrases for managing tasks, projects and reports, and a troubleshooting section for common errors like an unactivated environment or a wrong company id.
