+# phabricator-mcp
+
+An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that wraps Phabricator's Conduit API, enabling any MCP client to interact with Phabricator tasks, code reviews, repositories, and more.

+
+[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=freelancer/phabricator-mcp&type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#freelancer/phabricator-mcp&Date)
+
+## Installation
+
+### Claude Code (CLI)
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --scope user phabricator -- npx github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp
+```
+
+Or with environment variables (if not using `~/.arcrc`):
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --scope user phabricator \
+  -e PHABRICATOR_URL=https://phabricator.example.com \
+  -e PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN=api-xxxxx \
+  -- npx github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp
+```
+
+The `--scope user` flag installs the server globally, making it available in all projects.
+
+### Codex (OpenAI CLI)
+
+Add to your Codex config (`~/.codex/config.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "phabricator": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp"],
+      "env": {
+        "PHABRICATOR_URL": "https://phabricator.example.com",
+        "PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN": "api-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+          "PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN": "api-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### VS Code with Claude Extension
+
+Add to your VS Code `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "claude.mcpServers": {
+    "phabricator": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp"],
+      "env": {
+        "PHABRICATOR_URL": "https://phabricator.example.com",
+        "PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN": "api-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Cursor
+
+Add to your Cursor MCP config (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "phabricator": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp"],
+      "env": {
+        "PHABRICATOR_URL": "https://phabricator.example.com",
+        "PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN": "api-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### GitHub Copilot (VS Code)
+
+Add to your VS Code `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers": {
+    "phabricator": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["github:freelancer/phabricator-mcp"],
+      "env": {
+        "PHABRICATOR_URL": "https://phabricator.example.com",
+        "PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN": "api-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The server automatically reads configuration from `~/.arcrc` (created by [Arcanist](https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/arcanist/)). No additional configuration is needed if you've already set up `arc`.
+
+Alternatively, set environment variables (which take precedence over `.arcrc`):
+
+- `PHABRICATOR_URL` - Phabricator instance URL
+- `PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN` - Conduit API token
+
+You can get an API token from your Phabricator instance at: **Settings > Conduit API Tokens**
+
+### Recommended: Allow Read-Only Tool Permissions
+
+By default, Claude Code will prompt you for permission each time a Phabricator tool is called. It's recommended to allowlist the read-only tools so they run without prompts, while keeping write operations (create, edit, comment) behind a confirmation step.
+
+Add to your `~/.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": {
+    "allow": [
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_task_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_revision_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_diff_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_get_raw_diff",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_repository_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_commit_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_user_whoami",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_user_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_project_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_column_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_paste_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_document_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_blog_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_blog_post_search",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_phid_lookup",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_phid_query",
+      "mcp__phabricator__phabricator_transaction_search"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To allowlist all tools including write operations, use `"mcp__phabricator__*"` instead.
