# Read Phabricator Task
## When to use
- User shares a Phabricator task link like: `https://phabricator.<sub>.<domain>/T<id>`.
- Reading, searching, or analyzing Phabricator tasks via the official Phabricator MCP server.
- User says "Phabricator" or "phab", and isn't asking to create or edit a task, see `manage-phabricator-task` for that.
When you encounter a `https://phabricator.<sub>.<domain>/T<id>` link, use the official Phabricator MCP server to fetch task details and related data.
## Required behavior
- Always use the Phabricator MCP tools first.
- Do not scrape or fetch Phabricator task pages directly in a browser.
- SSO-protected pages usually return a Google sign-in HTML page, not task content.
- If MCP calls fail, troubleshoot the MCP connection/auth first, then retry.
## Authentication
Use the official Phabricator MCP server only. Phabricator holds files, shared passwords, and secrets far beyond task content, so a manually managed credential is real exposure.
- Discover the available tools with `ToolSearch` (query `"phabricator"` or `"maniphest"`), exact tool names depend on how the server was registered locally, do not hardcode a guess.
- One-time setup, if the tools aren't found, resolve the server URL in this order, it's org-specific and must never be hardcoded or guessed:
1. `$PHABRICATOR_MCP_URL`, if already set in the session.
2. Derive it from `~/.arcrc`, standard `arc`/Phabricator tooling config, works for any org that has `arc` set up:
