[Apr 2026] What's new in Zenhub in April

Zenhub MCP

Have your AI agents interact with Zenhub via the new Zenhub MCP server. Now generally available at: https://developers.zenhub.com/mcp

The MCP server supports a variety of common operations like issue creation, setting sprints, managing sub-issues, and more!
