MCP - Model Context Protocol Server with Redmine Analytics

A comprehensive Python-based MCP server with advanced Redmine project analytics, music playback, and web automation capabilities.

🚀 Features

🎯 Redmine Analytics (V2)

• Sprint/Iteration Status: Track committed issues, completion rates, burndown status

• Backlog Management: Monitor backlog size, high-priority items, monthly activity

• Quality Metrics: Bug tracking, severity analysis, bug-to-story ratios

• Team Performance: Workload distribution, cycle time, lead time analysis

• Trends & Predictability: Throughput analysis, velocity tracking

🎵 Music Integration

• iTunes API integration for music search and playback

• 30-second preview support

• Artist and album information

🌐 Web Automation

• Playwright-based web browsing

• Screenshot capture

• Link extraction

• Google and DuckDuckGo search

📊 Key Achievements

Accurate Bug Counting

• ✅ Fixed bug count accuracy (310 open bugs in NCEL project)

• ✅ Direct API queries using Redmine's total_count field

• ✅ No pagination issues or cache staleness

• ✅ Supports both project names ("ncel") and IDs (6)

Sprint Analytics

• ✅ Proper sprint calculation using Redmine Versions

• ✅ Counts all issues (bugs, features, stories) not just stories

• ✅ Real-time completion tracking

• ✅ Burndown status monitoring

Token Optimization

• ✅ JSPLIT architecture for hierarchical tool selection

• ✅ 70-85% token reduction through category-based filtering

• ✅ Reduced system prompts from ~600 to ~50 tokens

• ✅ Strict tool call limits (max 1 iteration, 1 tool per request)
