Hi there,
I am currently working on a use case that would involve retrieving all information from boards/projects using MCP, so that the agent can extract relevant information needed.
I have familiarised myself with all the MCP tools from here and I have created an AI agent that can use these tools, however, I have noticed that whenever agent is using tools get_board_items_page and get_board_info to extract all relevant information available in the board it doesn't retrieve any subitems or linked columns, when I specifically name the subitem name or linked column name, it simply comes back to me saying it can't find it. The payload returned from using these tools confirms is as well.
Could you please help me understand if I am missing anything? Is there another tool that should be used for linked columns and subitems? I have noticed that there is a tool create_item which allows the creation of subitem, so does that mean the current MCP tools don't allow to read subitem and linked column information?
It appears that when working with linked columns even when I pass "includeColumns": true when agent uses get_board_items the MCP returns the items with column_values being empty. Column values are not empty when I use regular columns.
Update: I have found the answer to subitems issue, simply passing paramater includeSubItems set to true works, however, the issue with linked columns still persists.
Thank you!
