Span MCP Server

Span's MCP server lets you connect AI coding tools (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) directly to your Span data. Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant questions about engineering metrics, teams, PRs, DORA, surveys, and more.

MCP server URL: https://api.span.app/mcp

Option 1: Connect via OAuth

This is the easiest path — your tool handles the sign-in flow automatically.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http span https://api.span.app/mcp

Then open a Claude session and run /mcp — it will open a browser window to authorize with your Span account.

Claude Desktop: Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "span": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.span.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop will prompt you to sign in via your Span account on first use.

Other MCP-compatible clients: Point them at https://api.span.app/mcp. The server publishes OAuth discovery metadata at https://api.span.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, so any RFC 9728-compliant client will auto-discover the authorization flow.

What you can ask

Once connected, your AI tool gets access to tools covering: engineering metrics, PRs & code, issues & projects, people & teams, DORA metrics, meetings, surveys, and AI agent sessions. It also comes with built-in report prompts for common analyses (team health, lead time, DORA summary, AI adoption, investment balance).
