Tonle OpenProject MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to OpenProject's API v3.

Quick Start

1. Install Bun

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

2. Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/liratanak/tonle.git cd tonle bun install

3. Configure Environment

Create a .env file or set environment variables:

OPENPROJECT_URL=https://your-instance.openproject.com OPENPROJECT_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Get your API key:

  • Log into OpenProject → My Account → Access Tokens → Generate

4. Run the Server

# Stdio mode (default) bun run index.ts # HTTP mode bun run start:http

5. Test with MCP Inspector

bunx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector bun run index.ts

Using with MCP Clients

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "openproject": { "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "/absolute/path/to/tonle/index.ts"], "env": { "OPENPROJECT_URL": "https://your-instance.openproject.com", "OPENPROJECT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Configuration file locations:

  • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  • Claude Desktop (Linux): ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json in project root

What You Can Do

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to:

  • "List all my OpenProject projects"

  • "Create a new task in project X titled 'Setup testing environment'"

  • "Show me all work packages assigned to me"

  • "Update work package #123 to status 'In Progress'"

  • And much more...
