MCP Permission issue with time tracking #172

Description

@Foxxat

I wanted to use this is my existing coding agents to track work with me - no particular desire to use ai coding from withing the project itself.

Long battle to figure out how to get mcp working with claude and codex - especially claude desktop which refused point blank.

Created a service user for MCP and minted a token. With the agents configured, most tools look like they work however getting permission errors with time tracking.

Agents reported permission issues for time tracking and test management, which fail with token missing required scope: time:read and tests:read.

Worked around it by appending time:read, time:write, tests:read, tests:write directly to the permissions JSON array on the token's row in the api_tokens table.

Seems to be working for me for the minute at least.
