Parabol MCP by usefulapi missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

parabol

parabol_add_comment

MUTATES Parabol data: add a comment to a meeting discussion thread. Required: content (stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document), discussionId, threadSortOrder (Int). Optionally isAnonymous or threadParentId (to reply). Parabol GraphQL: addComment(comment) → union. Requires COMMENTS_WRITE.

parabol_create_reflection

MUTATES Parabol data: add a reflection card to a running retrospective's reflect phase. Required: meetingId, promptId (the reflect-prompt/column), sortOrder (Float). `content` (optional) is a stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document (<=2000 chars). Parabol GraphQL: createReflection(input). Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.

parabol_create_task

MUTATES Parabol data: create a task on a team. Required: teamId and status (active|stuck|done|future). Provide `plaintextContent` for the task text (and/or `content`, which is a stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document). Optionally assign to a userId or link to a meetingId/discussionId. Parabol GraphQL: createTask(newTask, area). Requires TASKS_WRITE.

parabol_get_meeting

Fetch one meeting by id with its phases and stages. For a retrospective it also returns the reflection groups and reflections plus vote/topic/task/comment counts. Uses __typename so you can tell meeting types apart. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.meeting(meetingId). Requires MEETINGS_READ.

parabol_get_organization

Fetch one organization by id, including its teams. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organization(orgId). Requires ORGS_READ (+ TEAMS_READ for teams).

parabol_get_team

Fetch one team by id: metadata, its team members (with each member's user), active meetings, and organization. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId). Requires TEAMS_READ (+ MEETINGS_READ for activeMeetings, ORGS_READ for organization).

parabol_get_viewer

Fetch the authenticated Parabol user (the token owner): id, preferredName, email, tier, and the team ids (tms) they belong to. Parabol GraphQL: query { viewer { ... } }. Requires the USERS_READ scope. Start here to discover your identity and team ids.

parabol_graphql

MUTATES Parabol data (potentially): escape hatch to run an arbitrary Parabol GraphQL operation — including any mutation — against action.parabol.co/graphql with optional variables. Use for operations not covered by the curated tools. Your token must carry the scope the operation requires. Prefer parabol_query for read-only calls.

parabol_invite_to_team

MUTATES Parabol data: send team invitations by email. Required: teamId and invitees (an array of email addresses). Optionally scope to a meetingId. Parabol GraphQL: inviteToTeam(teamId, invitees). Requires TEAMS_WRITE.

parabol_list_active_meetings

List a team's currently-active (in-progress) meetings. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId).activeMeetings. Requires TEAMS_READ + MEETINGS_READ.

parabol_list_meetings

List past/ongoing meetings for one or more teams (Relay connection), newest first. `teamIds` is required. `meetingTypes` defaults to all four (retrospective, action, poker, teamPrompt). `before` bounds the window (defaults to now); paginate older with `after`. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.meetings. Requires MEETINGS_READ.

parabol_list_organization_users

List the users in an organization (Relay connection): each org-user's role, joinedAt, tier, and underlying user (preferredName, email). Paginate with `first` + `after` (pass the last edge's `cursor`). Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organization(orgId).organizationUsers. Requires ORGS_READ + USERS_READ.

parabol_list_organizations

List the organizations the viewer belongs to: id, name, tier, billingTier. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organizations. Requires ORGS_READ.

parabol_list_tasks

List the viewer's tasks (Relay connection), optionally filtered by team, user, status, archived state, or a text query. Paginate with `first` + the `after` DateTime cursor. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.tasks. Requires TASKS_READ.

parabol_list_team_members

List the members of a team, each with role flags (isLead, isOrgAdmin) and the underlying user (preferredName, email). Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId).teamMembers. Requires TEAMS_READ.

parabol_list_teams

List the teams the viewer belongs to, with each team's id, name, orgId, tier, and team lead. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.teams. Requires the TEAMS_READ scope.

parabol_query

Escape hatch: run an arbitrary Parabol GraphQL QUERY (read-only) against action.parabol.co/graphql with optional variables. Mutations are REJECTED — use the dedicated write tools or parabol_graphql for those. Useful for fields not covered by the curated read tools. Requires the matching read scope(s) on your token.

parabol_start_checkin

MUTATES Parabol data: start a new Check-in (Action) meeting for a team (returns the new meetingId). Required: teamId. Optionally name it. Parabol GraphQL: startCheckIn → union. Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.

parabol_start_retrospective

MUTATES Parabol data: start a new retrospective meeting for a team (returns the new meetingId). Required: teamId. Optionally name it. Parabol GraphQL: startRetrospective → union. Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.

parabol_start_team_prompt

MUTATES Parabol data: start a new async Standup (Team Prompt) meeting for a team. Required: teamId. Optionally name it (default 'Standup'). Parabol GraphQL: startTeamPrompt → union. Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.

parabol_update_task

MUTATES Parabol data: update an existing task. Required: id. Optionally change content (stringified TipTap JSON), status, assignee (userId), or sortOrder. Only included fields change. Parabol GraphQL: updateTask(updatedTask, area). Requires TASKS_WRITE.

Among them: parabol_add_comment, parabol_create_reflection, parabol_create_task, parabol_get_meeting, parabol_get_organization, parabol_get_team and 15 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Parabol MCP by usefulapi working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 164 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Parabol MCP by usefulapi ever remove tools?

Yes. add_comment, create_reflection, create_task, get_meeting and 15 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Parabol MCP by usefulapi?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Parabol MCP by usefulapi need an API key?

No. Parabol MCP by usefulapi completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 21 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Parabol MCP by usefulapi?

It answers our handshake in 164 ms on average, which is faster than 80% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Parabol MCP by usefulapi open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at parabol.usefulapi.io, which runs on its operator's own terms.
