Overview

What is OpenProject MCP?

OpenProject MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with OpenProject API v3, enabling LLM applications (such as Claude Desktop) to perform project management, work package tracking, and task creation. It is intended for developers who want to connect AI assistants to an OpenProject instance (cloud or self-hosted).

How to use OpenProject MCP?

Install uv (Python package manager), clone the repository, run uv sync to install dependencies, copy env_example.txt to .env and set OPENPROJECT_URL and OPENPROJECT_API_KEY, then start the server with uv run python openproject-mcp.py. For Claude Desktop, add the server configuration pointing to the Python executable or uv to the claude_desktop_config.json file.

  • List, create, update, and delete work packages
  • List and create projects with filtering
  • Manage users, memberships, and roles
  • Time entry creation and management

  • Query and update work package status, priority, and assignees without manual UI

Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed to run OpenProject MCP?

Python 3.10 or higher, `uv` (fast Python package manager), and an OpenProject instance (cloud or self-hosted) with a valid API key generated from the user’s access tokens page.

2

Is OpenProject MCP production‑ready?

No, this is an early‑stage project with a WIP status. The README explicitly advises against using it productively and welcomes contributions.

3

How do I get an OpenProject API key?

Log in to your OpenProject instance, go to **My account** → **Access tokens**, click **+ Add**, name the token, and copy the generated key.

4

Can I use a self‑hosted OpenProject instance?

Yes, set the `OPENPROJECT_URL` environment variable to your self‑hosted instance’s URL. HTTP proxy support is also available via the optional `OPENPROJECT_PROXY` variable.

5

What transport and authentication does the server use?

The server uses the standard MCP transport (stdio for Claude Desktop integration) and authenticates to the OpenProject API v3 via an API key provided in the `.env` file. Connections can optionally go through an HTTP proxy.
