You can now securely connect AI-powered tools to your YouTrack using a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This allows you to work on projects without leaving your favorite LLM, IDE, or agent platform by performing predefined actions. For example, you can use a Claude agent to create or update tasks, log time spent on work, or retrieve information from YouTrack based on your prompts.

You can also expand the built-in functionality of YouTrack’s MCP server by using apps and workflows. For app developers, the MCP server enables the creation of custom apps for AI tools tailored to specific team needs.

Managing project access is now simpler. From the new People tab on the project overview page, administrators can add or remove users and groups, assign roles, and filter team members by permissions – all without having to jump between pages.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that connects your tools and services without code. YouTrack now has a dedicated node in n8n, so you can automate workflows and connect YouTrack with hundreds of apps – sync data, trigger issue updates, execute YouTrack commands, and build cross-platform workflows with ease.

For teams working from their existing LLM, IDE, or agent platform, we’ve expanded the number of predefined actions available via YouTrack’s remote MCP server. You can now use AI-powered tools to find, create, and update Knowledge Base articles and create tasks with pre-configured visibility.

We've enhanced the experience for standard users and agents participating as internal reporters in helpdesk projects, making it easier for them to submit and track their own requests. They can now seamlessly access reporter functionality while submitting tickets and receive reporter email notifications.

When the product team needs to join the conversation, standard users now have a similar experience to agents when replying to reporters via public comments or email CC.

You can now expand the notification center to a full-page view and reply to comments directly from there. This makes it easier to quickly respond to feedback or discussions without switching contexts.

Knowledge Base articles now rank more accurately in search results thanks to AI enhancements, helping you find the right information faster. We’ve also introduced design updates to further improve your overall experience.
