Yandex MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets MCP-capable clients work with:
- Yandex Tracker (issues, queues, transitions, comments)
- Yandex Wiki (pages, attachments/resources, dynamic tables)
The server operates in read-only mode. Modification operations are not supported due to the risk of allowing LLMs to perform such operations.
The project is not an official MCP from Yandex.

Environment variables
-
YANDEX_CLOUD_ORG_ID(required)- Yandex Cloud Organization ID.
- Used to set the organization header required by Yandex APIs.
- Run
yc organization-manager organization listto get your organization ID.
-
YANDEX_WIKI_BASE_URL(optional, default:https://api.wiki.yandex.net)- Base URL for Yandex Wiki API.
- Must be an
https://URL.
-
YANDEX_TRACKER_BASE_URL(optional, default:https://api.tracker.yandex.net)- Base URL for Yandex Tracker API.
- Must be an
https://URL.
-
YANDEX_IAM_TOKEN_REFRESH_PERIOD(optional, default:10)- IAM token refresh period in hours.
- The server caches the token and refreshes it when the cached token is older than this period.
- IAM tokens are valid for no more than 12 hours; this refresh period should not exceed
12.
-
YANDEX_API_HTTP_TIMEOUT(optional, default:30s)- HTTP timeout for Yandex API requests.
- Accepts Go duration strings (e.g.,
30s,1m).
Authentication
The project supports IAM token authentication via the Yandex Cloud CLI (yc) only.
IAM token acquisition (yc prerequisites)
Installation: https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/cli/operations/install-cli
This server obtains IAM tokens by running:
yc iam create-token
That means:
- You must have the Yandex Cloud CLI (
yc) installed and available inPATH. - You must have an initialized/authenticated
ycprofile (typically viayc init).
Notes:
- Yandex IAM tokens are valid for no more than 12 hours, so long-running use requires periodic refresh.
- The server refreshes the token periodically based on
YANDEX_IAM_TOKEN_REFRESH_PERIOD(by default every 10 hours; you can set it to12to refresh roughly every 12 hours). - When the refresh happens, the server calls
yc iam create-tokenagain. If yourycsession/profile requires interactive authentication,ycmay open your default browser and ask you to log in.

Client configuration examples
Claude Code
claude mcp add -s user -e YANDEX_CLOUD_ORG_ID={yandex organization id} --transport stdio yandex /path/to/yandex-mcp
VS Code, RooCode, etc.
"yandex": {
"command": "/path/to/yandex-mcp",
"env": {
"YANDEX_CLOUD_ORG_ID": "yandex organization id"

Notes:
- The
commandmust point to the built executable (for this repo,task buildproducesbin/yandex-mcp). - The server communicates over stdio; clients should use a stdio transport.
