ProjectBrain MCP

ProjectBrain MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for project planning and execution workflows. It exposes tools for tasks, decisions, facts, milestones, comments, and team messaging through a Streamable HTTP endpoint.

What it does

• Serves MCP tools over HTTPS at https://mcp.projectbrain.tools

• Allows unauthenticated MCP discovery requests for initialize, notifications/initialized, ping, tools/list, resources/list, resources/templates/list, and prompts/list

• Authenticates bearer tokens (JWT or API key) for all tool execution and data access

• Provides MCP OAuth metadata endpoints

• Executes tool actions against the ProjectBrain API
