@firfi/huly-mcp

MCP server for Huly integration.

Installation

The standard configuration works with most MCP clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@firfi/huly-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "HULY_URL": "https://huly.app",
        "HULY_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
        "HULY_PASSWORD": "yourpassword",
        "HULY_WORKSPACE": "yourworkspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add huly \
  -e HULY_URL=https://huly.app \
  -e HULY_EMAIL=your@email.com \
  -e HULY_PASSWORD=yourpassword \
  -e HULY_WORKSPACE=yourworkspace \
  -- npx -y @firfi/huly-mcp@latest

Or add to ~/.claude.json using the standard config above.

Claude Desktop

Add the standard config to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

VS Code

Add to your user settings (.vscode/mcp.json) or use Command Palette → "MCP: Add Server":

{
  "servers": {
    "huly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@firfi/huly-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "HULY_URL": "https://huly.app",
        "HULY_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
        "HULY_PASSWORD": "yourpassword",
        "HULY_WORKSPACE": "yourworkspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add the standard config to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or via Settings → Tools & Integrations → New MCP Server.

Windsurf

Add the standard config to your Windsurf MCP configuration file.

Updating

The @latest tag in the install command always fetches the newest version. Most MCP clients cache the installed package, so you need to force a re-fetch:

Client	How to update
Claude Code	`claude mcp remove huly` then re-add with the install command above
Claude Desktop	Restart the app (it runs `npx` on startup)
VS Code / Cursor	Restart the MCP server from the command palette or reload the window
npx (manual)	`npx -y @firfi/huly-mcp@latest` — the `-y` flag skips the cache when `@latest` resolves to a new version

HTTP Transport

By default, the server uses stdio transport. For HTTP transport (Streamable HTTP):

HULY_URL=https://huly.app \
HULY_EMAIL=your@email.com \
HULY_PASSWORD=yourpassword \
HULY_WORKSPACE=yourworkspace \
MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
npx -y @firfi/huly-mcp@latest

Server listens on http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp by default.

Configure with MCP_HTTP_PORT and MCP_HTTP_HOST:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 MCP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 npx -y @firfi/huly-mcp@latest

`get_test_plan`	Get test plan details including its items (test cases). Accepts plan ID or name within a project.
`create_test_plan`	Create a test plan in a project. Idempotent: returns existing plan if one with the same name exists (created=false).
`update_test_plan`	Update a test plan's name or description. Only provided fields are modified. Pass description=null to clear.
`delete_test_plan`	Permanently delete a test plan. This does not delete associated test runs. Cannot be undone.
`add_test_plan_item`	Add a test case to a test plan. Resolves test case by ID or name. Optionally assign a person by email or name.
`remove_test_plan_item`	Remove a test case from a test plan by item ID. Get item IDs from get_test_plan.
`list_test_runs`	List test runs in a test management project. Returns run names, IDs, and due dates.
`get_test_run`	Get test run details including all results. Accepts run ID or name within a project.
`create_test_run`	Create a test run in a project. For bulk creation from a plan, use run_test_plan instead.
`update_test_run`	Update a test run's name, description, or due date. Only provided fields are modified. Pass null to clear optional fields.
`delete_test_run`	Permanently delete a test run. This does not delete associated test results. Cannot be undone.
`list_test_results`	List test results in a test run. Returns result names, statuses, and assignees.
`get_test_result`	Get test result details. Accepts result ID or name.
`create_test_result`	Create a test result in a run. Resolves test case by ID or name. Status defaults to 'untested'.
`update_test_result`	Update a test result's status, assignee, or description. Status values: untested, blocked, passed, failed.
`delete_test_result`	Permanently delete a test result. Cannot be undone.
`run_test_plan`	Execute a test plan: creates a test run and one test result per plan item. Returns the run ID and count of results created. Optionally name the run and set a due date.

Troubleshooting

Passwords with special characters

If your Huly password contains characters like *, %, !, or #, passing it via the CLI -e flag may fail because the shell interprets these characters before they reach the process.

Solution: Edit your MCP config file directly instead of using claude mcp add -e. In ~/.claude.json (user scope) or .mcp.json (project scope), JSON handles all special characters natively:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huly": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/dist/index.cjs"],
      "env": {
        "HULY_URL": "https://your-huly-instance.com",
        "HULY_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "HULY_PASSWORD": "p@ss*w0rd!#%",
        "HULY_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, use HULY_TOKEN instead of email/password to bypass password auth entirely (see Environment Variables).

MCP client shows "Failed to reconnect"

After changing MCP configuration, some clients (including Claude Code) require a full restart — not just a reconnect. Exit the application completely and reopen it.

You can verify the connection works independently with:

claude mcp list  # Should show "Connected"

Self-hosted Huly: account locked after failed login attempts

Huly locks password login after 5 failed API authentication attempts. This commonly happens during initial setup when the password is misconfigured. The lock persists in the database across service restarts.

Symptoms: PasswordLoginLocked error from the MCP server, and the Huly web UI shows "Password login is locked due to too many failed attempts. Please use an OTP login method to unlock your account." (OTP won't work without SMTP configured.)

Fix — reset the lock counter in CockroachDB:

# Find your account UUID and check lock status
docker exec -e PGPASSWORD=<your_cockroach_password> <cockroach_container> \
  cockroach sql --host=localhost --user=<db_user> --database=defaultdb --insecure \
  -e "SELECT uuid, failed_login_attempts FROM global_account.account;"

# Reset the counter
docker exec -e PGPASSWORD=<your_cockroach_password> <cockroach_container> \
  cockroach sql --host=localhost --user=<db_user> --database=defaultdb --insecure \
  -e "UPDATE global_account.account SET failed_login_attempts = 0 WHERE uuid = '<your_account_uuid>';"

The CockroachDB credentials can be found in your Huly compose.yml or via docker exec <cockroach_container> env | grep COCKROACH.

Windows-specific notes

Bash wrapper scripts (sourcing .env files) may not work reliably when launched by MCP clients on Windows. Prefer setting env vars directly in the MCP config JSON.
Docker pulls over SSH may fail on Windows due to credential manager issues. Pull images from the server desktop if needed.
