Summary
Connects Claude to MantisBT issue tracking instances, letting you create and update bugs, add notes and attachments, manage tags, and link related issues without leaving your conversation. The semantic search capability means you can find issues by describing problems in natural language rather than remembering exact ticket numbers or keywords. Reach for this when you're triaging bugs, documenting issues during development sessions, or need to query your bug tracker as part of a larger workflow. Works over stdio, so you'll need access to a MantisBT instance with API credentials to get started.
