Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Search

    Lyro finds Epics and Stories in Shortcut based on search criteria. Agents quickly locate relevant work items to reference when helping customers.

  • Upload files

    Lyro uploads attachments to Shortcut and links them to work items. Agents attach customer screenshots and evidence directly to tasks.

  • Delete task

    Lyro removes a task from the backlog. Agents keep Shortcut clean by eliminating invalid or duplicate work without manual cleanup.

How businesses use Shortcut + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Shortcut actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Say where a reported bug actually stands

    Lyro searches Shortcut for the story matching a customer's report, opens it, and reads its history, so the reply names the current workflow state instead of promising to check with the team.

    Search StoriesGet StoryStory History

  • File the bug straight from the conversation

    Lyro creates the story in the customer's own words, breaks out the tasks the fix will need, and posts the reproduction steps as a comment, so engineering opens something complete.

    Create StoryCreate TaskCreate Story Comment

  • Keep the backlog sorted as reports pile up

    Lyro links the third report of the same fault to the original story, labels it by area, and updates a batch of stories in one pass, so the queue a team grooms is not three copies of one bug.

    Create Story LinkCreate LabelUpdate Multiple Stories

  • Follow a story back to the doc behind it

    Lyro pulls the stories attached to an external link, adds the file that explains the case, and connects the document to the epic that owns the work, so context is not stranded in another tool.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Shortcut actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Shortcut

    Authorize the Shortcut account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Shortcut actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Shortcut

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Shortcut.

  • Your own. Get Workflow and List Workflows return the states your team defined, Get Epic Workflow covers the epic side, and List Custom Fields with Get Custom Field expose the fields you added, so a status Lyro reports back is the one on your board rather than a normalised label.
