Overview
An enterprise-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for JetBrains YouTrack 2025.2, enabling AI assistants (e.g., Claude, VSCode extensions, Continue.dev, custom connectors) to access and manage YouTrack issues, sprints, dependencies, time tracking, and knowledge base content via a tool-based interface.

Security Notes
The server demonstrates strong security practices including comprehensive input validation (using `ParameterValidator` and `@validateParams` decorator), robust error handling with context logging, and sensitive data sanitization (`text-sanitizer.ts`) to prevent XSS. A critical security feature is the `resolveProjectId` mechanism, which enforces project isolation if `PROJECT_ID` is set in the environment, preventing AI tools from accessing unauthorized projects. OAuth2 authentication is implemented with PKCE, a secure flow for public clients. No direct `eval` or hardcoded production secrets are evident. The architecture promotes safe, tool-based access to YouTrack data.
