YouTrack + Memtro

Issues, sprints and boards from YouTrack, changed in your name when you ask.

Connect YouTrack, cloud or self-hosted, with its URL and a permanent token and Memtro searches issues with YouTrack's query language, reads an issue with every custom field, its links and comments, lists projects, boards and sprints, and finds users. The hourly sync writes each updated issue into memory as an event and a ticket. When asked, and once an administrator has granted each action by name, it creates issues, applies commands to set state, assignee or priority, edits issues, logs time, links and tags issues, and comments, all in your name. Deleting an issue or comment is permanent.

In Memtro

What you can do with YouTrack in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right YouTrack tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Search issues by project, state, assignee, priority, type, tag, reporter or dates, unresolved by default
  2. 02One issue with description, every custom field by name, links to other issues and its comments, paged for long threads
  3. 03Agile boards with their projects, the current sprint and each sprint's goal and dates
  4. 04Hourly sync remembers each updated issue as an event and a ticket with its assignee and reporter
  5. 05When asked and granted, comments (watchers are notified), creates issues, applies commands to up to 20 issues to set state, assignee, priority or fields, edits summaries, logs time, and links or tags issues, quietly unless asked to notify
  6. 06When asked and granted, edits a comment, or permanently deletes a comment or an issue with its history

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in YouTrack. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Add a comment to an issue
  2. 02Create an issue
  3. 03Apply a command to issues (state, assignee, priority, fields)
  4. 04Edit an issue's summary or description
  5. 05Log time on an issue
  6. 06Link two issues
  7. 07Tag or untag an issue
  8. 08Edit a comment
  9. 09Delete a comment (permanent)
  10. 10Delete an issue (permanent)

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in YouTrack, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows YouTrack's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. YouTrack sends a secret with every delivery, and one without it is refused.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once YouTrack is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

YouTrack logoYouTrack + Memtro
  • What is unresolved in the WEB project and assigned to me?

  • What is the current state of WEB-1842, and what is blocking it?

  • Which critical bugs were created in October and are still open?

  • Add a comment to API-310 saying the fix is deployed to staging and ready for QA

  • Set WEB-1842 to Fixed, assign it to jane.doe and log 2 hours on it

01

Behind the ticket

A customer asks support when their bug will be fixed. The agent asks Memtro about WEB-1842, and it reads the issue's state, priority and assignee, the comment thread and the issue it depends on, and answers with where it actually stands.

02

Closing the loop

A fix ships on Thursday. Ben Carter asks Memtro to mark API-310 Fixed, log the three hours he spent and tell the thread it is on staging. Memtro applies the state command and the work item in his name, then posts the agreed comment, and the watchers are notified.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on YouTrack most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in YouTrack is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withYouTrack URL and permanent token
  1. 1

    In YouTrack open your avatar → Profile → Account Security → Tokens → New token… and give it the YouTrack scope. The token acts as you, so Memtro reads what you can see and changes only what you may

  2. 2

    Copy the perm:… token: it is shown once. Changes are made quietly unless you ask otherwise, which needs the Apply Commands Silently permission

  3. 3

    In Memtro open Connections → YouTrack, paste the YouTrack URL (your Cloud address, or the root of a self-hosted instance including /youtrack where it is served under that path) and the Permanent token, and connect

  4. 4

    Ask what is unresolved and assigned to you, or what is in the current sprint

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The YouTrack tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in YouTrack?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a comment to an issue; create an issue; apply a command to issues (state, assignee, priority, fields); edit an issue's summary or description; log time on an issue; link two issues; tag or untag an issue; edit a comment; delete a comment (permanent); delete an issue (permanent). Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a YouTrack connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my YouTrack data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed YouTrack records into memory as entities.

How do I connect YouTrack?+

YouTrack URL and permanent token. In YouTrack open your avatar → Profile → Account Security → Tokens → New token… and give it the YouTrack scope. The token acts as you, so Memtro reads what you can see and changes only what you may.

Can YouTrack start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in YouTrack, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows YouTrack's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
