Authentication

The Tracker Boot API lets you read and write stories, tasks, comments, and iteration data over HTTP, the same operations available through MCP, for teams that want to call them directly from their own scripts or services.

1. Generate an API key

  1. Click the icon in the header navigation, choose Settings in the popover, then pick API in the side menu.

  2. Click + Create new API key.

  3. Give it a name (optional), e.g. My Integration.

  4. Choose project access:

    AccessDescription
    All projectsAccess every project you can access, now and in the future
    Specific projectsLimit this key to the projects you select

  5. Click Generate. Copy the key right away, only a masked version (e.g. LTr...nUA) is shown afterward.

Do not share your API key with others or expose it in the browser or other client-side code. Treat it like a password.

Managing keys

General Settings → API lists every key on your account, with its name, project access, masked key, creation date, and last-used date.

To revoke a key, click the trash icon next to it and confirm. Revoking immediately disables the key, any systems still depending on it will start getting rejected requests, and the action can’t be undone.

2. Make your first request

The endpoint below mirrors the operations exposed by the MCP tools. Confirm exact paths and payloads against the live API before integrating.

Authenticate by sending your API key in the X-API-KEY header:

curl https://trackerboot.com/api/v1/projects \
  -H "X-API-KEY: <YOUR_API_KEY>"

A successful response returns the projects your key can access:

{
  "projects": [
    { "id": "proj_123", "name": "Mobile App" },
    { "id": "proj_456", "name": "Web Platform" }
  ]
}
