Yandex 360 (ycli)

io.github.bim-bav0.36.0Updated Oct 2, 2026

Yandex 360 Tracker, Wiki and Forms: read and write tools with honest read-only annotations.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant read and write Yandex 360 Tracker issues, Wiki pages and Forms through 322 MCP tools.

What it does
Exposes read and write tools for Yandex 360 Tracker, Wiki and Forms, one per wrapped API operation, plus a cross-cutting status tool. Reads are annotated read-only and writes declare whether they are destructive or idempotent. Tool sets can be narrowed by service, by a curated core profile, or by individual tool names, and a read-only mode serves no write tools at all.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant should work with Yandex 360 content: looking up or updating Tracker issues, comments, transitions and worklogs, reading or editing Wiki pages, or inspecting Forms and their responses. A read-only start is available for cautious deployments.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically via uvx from the yandex-cli package with the mcp extra. Needs a Yandex OAuth token in YANDEX_ID_OAUTH_TOKEN and an organization id in YANDEX_ID_ORGANIZATION_ID, which is sent as the X-Org-Id header. The token must be issued by a registered Yandex OAuth app with Tracker, Wiki and Forms permissions.
Before you install
The token in YANDEX_ID_OAUTH_TOKEN grants access to Tracker, Wiki and Forms, and write tools can create, modify, move and delete issues, pages, comments, attachments and form data. Destructive commands ask for confirmation interactively and require an explicit yes flag in scripts. A dry-run option previews writes without sending them. The full tool set is large, so hosts with tool limits may need a narrower selection.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Yandex 360 (ycli) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

ycli

One Yandex 360 toolkit — four ways to use it. Drive Tracker, Wiki, and Forms from a CLI, an MCP server, a Python SDK, or a Claude Code plugin. Built for AI agents first — pleasant for humans too.

[CI] [Coverage] [PyPI] [Python] [License] [Ask DeepWiki]

[ycli in action]
  • 🧩 One SDK, four surfaces — write logic once, use it as a CLI, an MCP server, a Python library, or a Claude Code plugin.
  • 🤖 Agent-native — the MCP server exposes read and write tracker_*, wiki_*, forms_* tools, one per SDK/CLI operation, plus a cross-cutting status tool (counts in Coverage), with honest annotations (reads are marked read-only; writes declare whether they are destructive/idempotent); ycli mcp start --read-only serves a reads-only view for cautious deployments, and --toolsets core serves a curated everyday profile when a host limits how many tools it accepts.
  • 🛡️ Trustworthy — typed pydantic models, the real Yandex API quirks handled for you, and a test suite kept at 100% coverage.
  • ⚡ Zero-friction start — uv add yandex-cli, ycli auth login, go.

Install

bash
uv add yandex-cli            # CLI + Python SDKuv add 'yandex-cli[mcp]'     # …plus the MCP server (`ycli mcp start`)

Run it without installing, or install it as a standalone tool:

bash
uvx yandex-cli --help                 # one-off, no installuv tool install yandex-cli            # persistent CLIuv tool install 'yandex-cli[mcp]'     # …with the MCP server

pip install yandex-cli works too. The CLI ships as both yandex-cli and the short ycli.

Using an AI harness (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, opencode, Docker)? See Install in your harness.

The SDK's ServiceAccountAuth (IAM tokens minted from a Yandex Cloud service-account key) needs the service-account extra: uv add 'yandex-cli[service-account]'.

Quick start

Pick the surface that fits how you work.

CLI
bash
uv add yandex-cliycli --helpycli tracker issues get TRACKER-1ycli wiki pages get onboarding

Output formats — a global --format / -o picks how results print (the global options work before or after the subcommand: ycli -o json tracker issues get K = ycli tracker issues get K -o json; a command that declares an option of its own, like forms answers export --format, keeps it):

bash
ycli tracker issues get TRACKER-1            # auto: a pretty table on a TTY…ycli tracker issues get TRACKER-1 | jq .     # …and raw JSON when piped (agent/script-safe)ycli -o yaml wiki pages get onboarding       # or: -o json | -o yaml | -o prettyycli --jq .summary tracker issues get TRACKER-1   # filter the JSON with jq; a string prints bare

--jq EXPR runs a jq program over the command's JSON result and prints like jq -r: a string comes out raw, anything else as one compact JSON value per line. It cannot be combined with -o yaml / -o pretty, and it needs the jq Python package (a dependency; it has no build for Windows on ARM).

Deleting asks first. A command that destroys data (every delete, clear, abort…) asks DELETE <url> — this deletes data. Continue? on stderr when you are at a terminal, and exits 1 if you decline. In a script, a pipe or CI there is no one to ask, so it fails with exit 2 until you pass --yes / -y: ycli tracker boards delete 7 --yes. Reads and ordinary writes never ask.

Preview a write. --dry-run sends nothing for any write: it prints the request instead (method, URL, body; never your token), through the same -o / --jq output, and exits 0. Reads still run, so a command that reads and then writes shows its first write only: ycli tracker boards delete 7 --dry-run. (The two commands that ask the API itself to validate a request, forms filling submit and wiki pages move, call that --validate-only.)

An endpoint ycli has not wrapped. ycli api PATH --service tracker|wiki|forms calls it like gh api would, with the same auth, retries, output and exit codes:

bash
ycli api issues/TRACKER-1 --service tracker --jq .summary           # GET (the default method)ycli api issues/TRACKER-1/comments --service tracker -F [email protected]   # POST: a field turns it into oneycli api pages/descendants --service wiki -f slug=docs --paginate   # every page, as one JSON array

PATH is relative to the service's base URL; a full URL of a service needs no --service, and any other host is refused (your token never goes elsewhere). -f key=value is a string, -F is typed (true, null, numbers, JSON, @file for a file's text, key[sub]=v to nest, key[]=v for an array); fields of a GET or DELETE go to the query string, otherwise to a JSON body (--input FILE sends a raw body instead). -H 'Name: value' adds a header, -X sets the method, and --dry-run, --yes and --jq behave as everywhere. --paginate follows Tracker's Link: rel="next" and Wiki's next_cursor; Forms pages its listings in more than one way, so pass its paging parameters with -f yourself.

MCP server (read/write)

Run it over stdio (needs the mcp extra):

bash
ycli mcp start               # full read/write tool set (honest annotations)ycli mcp start --read-only   # reads-only view for cautious deployments

Serving all 322 tools costs a large tools/list and some hosts cap a request (VS Code allows 128 tools), so pick what the session needs:

FlagServes
--toolsets tracker,wikionly those services (tracker, wiki, forms); default all
--toolsets corea curated everyday profile of about 40 tools (issues, comments, transitions, worklog, wiki pages and search, form reads)
--tools a,b / --exclude-tools a,badd or hide single tools by name (unknown names fail at start)
--read-onlyno write tools; always wins over the flags above
--tool-searchlists a search tool and a call proxy instead of the tools; use it with a large set

status_get is always served. The listing omits output schemas and doctest examples (results still carry structuredContent), which cuts tools/list from about 1.9 MB to about 0.5 MB for the full set.

For several users, serve it over HTTP: each MCP client signs its user in through Yandex ID (OAuth), and every tool call runs with that user's own Yandex token. Setup, including the Yandex OAuth app and the reverse proxy, is in Self-host over HTTP.

bash
ycli mcp start --transport http --toolsets core   # needs YCLI__MCP__BASE_URL and an OAuth app

List the tool names a given set of flags exposes without running the server:

bash
ycli mcp methods --toolsets core --read-only

Point an MCP client at it — no prior install needed via uvx (tools are namespaced tracker_*, wiki_*, forms_*):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "yandex": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["--from", "yandex-cli[mcp]", "ycli", "mcp", "start"],      "env": {        "YANDEX_ID_OAUTH_TOKEN": "...",        "YANDEX_ID_ORGANIZATION_ID": "..."      }    }  }}
Python SDK
python
from ycli.yandex.tracker.client import TrackerClient
tracker = TrackerClient(oauth_token="…", organization_id="…")issue = tracker.issues.get("TRACKER-1")print(issue.summary)
Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add bim-ba/ycli/plugin install yandex-360@ycli

Teaches an agent to drive Yandex 360 through ycli — including the real API quirks. See plugins/yandex-360/.

The skills encode the read/write commands and the gnarly Yandex API quirks (epic-vs-parent, transition discovery, permanent wiki slugs, fields= rules, Forms host/header traps, answers pagination).

Configure

ycli reads two values from the environment (or a .env file — cp .env.example .env):

bash
YANDEX_ID_OAUTH_TOKEN=...        # a Yandex OAuth token with Tracker/Wiki/Forms accessYANDEX_ID_ORGANIZATION_ID=...    # your Yandex 360 organization id

ycli sends the org id as X-Org-Id for every service (HTTP header names are case-insensitive per RFC 9110, so one casing serves all).

Optional settings follow the YCLI__<GROUP>__<SETTING> pattern; ycli rejects an invalid value at startup and names the variable:

VariableDefaultMeaning
YCLI__HTTP__TIMEOUT_SECONDS30Per-request timeout, seconds (> 0)
YCLI__HTTP__RETRIES3Retries for idempotent requests on 429/5xx (≥ 0)
YCLI__HTTP__MAX_ITEMS500Item cap for listings without --limit/--all (> 0)
YCLI__LOGGING__LEVELWARNINGDEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR or CRITICAL; -v means INFO (every HTTP request), -vv means DEBUG
YCLI__LOGGING__FORMATtexttext or json (one object per line); logs always go to stderr

Get your credentials

Yandex issues OAuth tokens only through a registered application, so it's a one-time app registration plus one command.

1. Register an OAuth app at oauth.yandex.ru and grant it the Tracker, Wiki, and Forms permissions (read and write — the CLI and the MCP server both write; the read scopes alone suffice only if you run the MCP server with ycli mcp start --read-only). Put the ClientID — and the Client secret if you want the headless flow — in your .env (ycli reads it from there):

bash
YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=...        # from your appYANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=...    # optional — enables the headless device flow

2. Log in. ycli auth login gets a token, detects your organization, and writes both into .env:

bash
ycli auth login
  • client id + secret → the device flow: ycli prints a code and a https://ya.ru/device link; approve there and it captures the token — no redirect, works over SSH.
  • only the client id (or --implicit) → the browser flow: ycli opens the Yandex authorize page; approve, then copy the token it displays and paste it back.

Check it any time with ycli auth status: it shows whose token it is (from Yandex ID), your organization (its name needs the optional directory:read_organization scope; without it you get the id and a note) and whether each service accepts the token. ycli tracker auth status (or wiki, forms) probes just that one service. Both exit non-zero when a service rejects the token.

Prefer to do it by hand?

Headless (device flow):

bash
# 1. start the flow — returns a user_code + verification_urlcurl -s -X POST https://oauth.yandex.ru/device/code -d "client_id=$YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"# 2. open https://ya.ru/device, enter the user_code, approve# 3. exchange the device_code for the tokencurl -s -X POST https://oauth.yandex.ru/token \  -d grant_type=device_code -d "code=<device_code>" \  -d "client_id=$YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID" -d "client_secret=$YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"

Browser (implicit): open https://oauth.yandex.ru/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=<ClientID> in a logged-in browser, approve, and copy the token from the page. (Plain curl can't — implicit needs an interactive browser session.)

Organization id: tracker.yandex.ru/admin/orgs → your organization → copy the identifier.

Exit codes

A failed ycli command exits with a code that says what kind of failure it was, so a script can branch without parsing the message.

CodeMeaningWhen
0okthe command succeeded
1failureany other failure: a 4xx the API rejected, an unmapped error, a declined confirmation
2usagea bad command line or an invalid YCLI__… setting
3not foundthe API answered 404 (or the token cannot see the object)
4auth401 / 403, or no credentials set
5rate limitedthe API answered 429 and the retries ran out (the hint shows Retry-After)
6transienta 5xx, a timeout or a lost connection: worth retrying later

Coverage

ycli wraps 334 operations across 62 resources of the Tracker, Wiki, and Forms REST API — every one reachable from the Python SDK and the CLI, plus 322 MCP tools (321 domain-scoped + 1 cross-cutting: status) for agents.

Legend — operations ship on SDK + CLI, and the MCP server mirrors them with honest annotations: reads carry readOnlyHint, writes carry explicit destructive/idempotent hints, and ycli mcp start --read-only serves the reads-only view. In each table SDK and CLI mean the operation is wrapped on that surface; MCP is ✅ when the resource exposes at least one MCP tool. Resource and operation names link to the official Yandex API reference (yandex.ru/support/…/api-ref). These tables are generated from the code by scripts/gen_coverage.py — do not edit by hand.

Every resource and operation above deep-links to the Yandex API reference: 318 of 334 operations resolve to their own endpoint page and 15 to their resource's page. No public API reference exists yet for tracker.linktypes, tracker.linktypes.list, shown as plain text. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the intentional exclusions (UI-only endpoints with no public REST API) and per-method notes.
