cookbook.md/.de.md had two recipe sections without table-of-contents links. examples.md/.de.md were missing natural-language prompts for the 1.11.0 features (custom_fields, note, select).

Add to~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json(Claude Desktop) or your localclaude_desktop_config.json(Claude Code):
{ "mcpServers": { "mantisbt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@dpesch/mantisbt-mcp-server"], "env": { "MANTIS_BASE_URL": "https://your-mantis.example.com/api/rest", "MANTIS_API_KEY": "your-api-token" } } } }
git clone https://codeberg.org/dpesch/mantisbt-mcp-server cd mantisbt-mcp-server npm run init npm run build
{ "mcpServers": { "mantisbt": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mantisbt-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "MANTIS_BASE_URL": "https://your-mantis.example.com/api/rest", "MANTIS_API_KEY": "your-api-token" } } } }
Instead of exact keyword matching, semantic search understands themeaningbehind a query. Ask in plain language — the search engine finds conceptually related issues even when the wording doesn't match:
- "login fails after password reset"— finds issues about authentication edge cases
- "performance problems on the checkout page"— surfaces related reports regardless of the exact terminology used
- "duplicate entries in the invoice list"— catches issues described as "shown twice", "double records", etc.
The embedding model (~80 MB) runs entirelyoffline— no OpenAI key, no external API. It is downloaded once on first start and cached locally. Issues are indexed incrementally on every server start (only new and updated issues are re-indexed).
Activate withMANTIS_SEARCH_ENABLED=true.
Start withvectra. Switch tosqlite-vecif indexing or query times become noticeably slow.
npm install sqlite-vec better-sqlite3 # then set MANTIS_SEARCH_BACKEND=sqlite-vec
MCP Resources are URI-addressable, read-only data that clients can fetch directly without calling a tool. They are the third MCP primitive alongside Tools and Prompts. Note that Resource support is less widely implemented in MCP clients than Tools — check your client's documentation.
MCP prompt templates are conversation starters that instruct the LLM to collect structured input and then call the appropriate tool. They are not tools themselves — they initiate a guided workflow.
For use as a standalone server (e.g. in remote setups).MCP_HTTP_TOKENisrequiredin HTTP mode — the server refuses to start without it:
MCP_HTTP_TOKEN=secret MANTIS_BASE_URL=... MANTIS_API_KEY=... \ TRANSPORT=http PORT=3456 node dist/index.js # With explicit bind address (required for Docker/remote): # MCP_HTTP_TOKEN=secret MANTIS_BASE_URL=... MANTIS_API_KEY=... \ # TRANSPORT=http PORT=3456 MCP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 node dist/index.js
Every/mcprequest must sendAuthorization: Bearer <token>. Over HTTP,upload_file'sfile_pathis disabled unlessMANTIS_UPLOAD_DIRis set — use thecontent(Base64) parameter instead.
Health check:GET http://localhost:3456/health(always public, no token required)
- Cookbook— tool-oriented recipes with copy-paste-ready parameter examples for all registered tools
- Usage Examples— natural language prompt examples for everyday use cases (no tool names required)
