Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about LetRetro MCP.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI coding assistants communicate directly with tools and services. Instead of manually copying data between apps, your AI can read boards, search cards, and create polls in real time. It's like giving your AI a direct line to LetRetro.
Any assistant that supports the MCP protocol: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (via GitHub Copilot), OpenAI Codex CLI, Windsurf, OpenCode, Antigravity (Gemini), Hermes AI, OpenClaw, Continue, and more. We auto-detect 10 clients on your machine.
Sign up for a Pro plan on the letRetro dashboard. Once subscribed, generate a lr_-prefixed API key from the billing settings page. Then run npx @letretro/mcp install and paste the key when prompted.
Run npx @letretro/mcp install in your terminal. The interactive wizard will ask for your API key, auto-detect your MCP clients, and write the correct config files. No manual JSON editing required.
Your API key is stored locally in the MCP client config files on your machine (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json). It is sent securely to mcp.letretro.com with every request and is never logged or stored on our servers beyond the request lifecycle.
MCP access is included with the Pro plan. You get 20,000 requests per month. Check our pricing page for plan details and upgrade options.
Yes. You can manually add the MCP server config to any supported client's config file. The server entry points to npx @letretro/mcp with your API key set as the LETRETRO_API_KEY environment variable.
The server returns a quota exceeded response. Your usage resets at the start of each billing cycle. You can check your remaining quota anytime by calling the get_usage tool from your AI assistant.
