OpenProject Overview

The OpenProject MCP server connects AI clients to the OpenProject API v3 for managing work packages, projects, comments, relations, attachments, and related delivery data. It runs as a Python MCP service, authenticates with an OpenProject URL and API key, and returns structured tool results. Use it to query or update self-hosted OpenProject data from an MCP-compatible client, particularly Community edition instances. The repository also describes support for Git and pull-request activity, time tracking, reporting, people, meetings, documents, budgets, and other OpenProject areas.

Primary Use Cases for OpenProject:
  • Find and update overdue work packages
  • Create project tasks and add comments
  • Bulk-edit work packages with validation
  • Inspect Git and pull-request activity
