Connect FeatQ to Claude Code
Claude Code speaks MCP natively. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI agent call tools on an external server, in this case your FeatQ board. After a one-line setup, Claude Code can list your feature requests, see what users voted for most, and turn the top request into a build-ready spec.
Setup: one command
Run this in your terminal. Get your fq_ key from your board admin page under Agent access.
claude mcp add --transport http featq https://featq.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer fq_YOUR_KEY"That is it. Ask Claude Code "what do my users want most?" and it will call the FeatQ tools. For scheduled, headless runs (a weekly cron that opens a PR from your top request), see the automation guide linked below.
What it looks like in practice
A typical session looks like this:
You: What should I build next? Claude Code: [calls get_ranked_requests] Top request on your board: "CSV export for admin dashboard" (34 votes, 12 comments). Second: "Dark mode" (28 votes). You: Build the CSV export. Claude Code: [calls generate_spec] Got the spec: scope, acceptance criteria, and edge cases from the request thread. Implementing now... Claude Code: Done. Tests pass. I marked the request done with update_request_status, so FeatQ published it to your changelog and emailed the 34 voters.
One quirk to know
claude mcp add registers the server for the current project by default. If you want FeatQ available in every project, add --scope user to the command. Check what is registered with claude mcp list.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about agents, voting, embeds, and pricing.
Six: list_requests, get_request, get_ranked_requests, generate_spec, update_request_status, and get_board_stats. get_ranked_requests sorts by votes plus half-weight comments, with older requests fading over time.
Yes. Run claude -p in a cron job or GitHub Action, feed it the top spec from the FeatQ API, and have it open a PR. Your keys, your schedule, and a human reviews the PR. The automation guide has complete recipes.
On your board admin page under Agent access. Each board has its own key, and you can rotate it any time.
It can update request statuses (for example marking a request done after shipping it). It cannot delete requests, edit votes, or change board settings.
