Project MCP Server

A powerful tool for retrieving detailed contextual information about project entities, providing rich insights tailored to each entity type in the project management domain.

When to use this tool:

• Retrieving comprehensive information about projects, tasks, milestones, and team members
• Exploring task dependencies and critical path information
• Examining milestone progress and completion status
• Reviewing team member assignments and workload
• Analyzing resource allocation and availability
• Inspecting project risks and issues
• Preparing for project status updates and planning meetings
• Examining project timelines and progress metrics
• Getting a holistic view of project status and health
• Understanding relationships between project entities
• Viewing entity status information (inactive, active, complete)
• Checking priority levels for tasks and activities
• Understanding sequential relationships between tasks

Key features:

• Provides richly formatted, context-aware information about project management entities
• Adapts output format based on entity type (project, task, milestone, teamMember, resource)
• Presents both direct entity information and related elements
• Shows project metrics, task completion rates, and milestone progress
• Tracks entity views within the current project session
• Formats information in a structured, readable markdown format
• Highlights relationships between tasks, milestones, and team members
• Presents critical path information for task dependencies
• Shows resource utilization metrics and availability
• Displays status information via has_status relations
• Shows priority levels via has_priority relations
• Presents sequential relationships through precedes relations

Parameters explained:

1. entityName: Required - The name of the entity to retrieve context for

• Example: "Marketing Campaign Q4", "Design Homepage", "Website Launch"

2. entityType: Optional - The type of entity being retrieved

• Default: "project"
• Helps the system format the output appropriately
• Common types include: "project", "task", "milestone", "teamMember", "resource", "status", "priority"

3. sessionId: Optional - The current session identifier

• Typically provided by startsession
• Used for tracking entity views within the session

Each entity type returns specialized context information:

• Project: Shows project status (via has_status), description, timeline, budget, goal, tasks, milestones, issues, team members, risks, and task completion rate
• Task: Displays project affiliation, status (inactive, active, complete), priority (low, high), due date, assignee, description, critical path status, task dependencies, and task sequencing (preceding and following tasks)
• Milestone: Shows project affiliation, status (via has_status), date, completion criteria, description, progress percentage, days remaining, required tasks, and blocking tasks
• Team Member: Displays role, skills, availability, workload, assigned tasks, projects, upcoming deadlines, and overdue tasks
• Resource: Shows type, project affiliation, availability, capacity, cost, usage percentage, assigned tasks, and team members using the resource
• Status: Shows all entities assigned this status value, organized by entity type
• Priority: Shows all entities assigned this priority value, organized by entity type
• Other Entity Types: Shows basic entity information, observations, incoming relations, and outgoing relations

Status and Priority Information:

• All entity displays include status information when available via has_status relations
• Tasks and other prioritized elements show priority assignments via has_priority relations
• Valid status values include: inactive, active, complete
• Valid priority values include: high, low

Sequential Task Relationships:

• Task displays show preceding and following tasks through precedes relations
• Sequential relationships are visualized to show workflow between tasks
• Tasks display their position in the overall project workflow
• Critical path information highlights essential task sequences

Return information:

• Formatted markdown text with hierarchical structure
• Sections adapted to the specific entity type
• Related entities shown with their relationships
• Progress metrics and completion statistics where applicable
• Status and priority information prominently displayed
• Sequential relationships clearly indicated
• Error messages if the entity doesn't exist or can't be retrieved

You should:

• Specify the exact entity name for accurate retrieval
• Provide the entity type when possible for optimally formatted results
• Start with project entities to get a high-level overview
• Examine task context to understand dependencies and critical path
• Review milestone context to assess progress towards key deliverables
• Use team member context to evaluate workload and assignments
• Explore resource context to understand allocation and availability
• Check status entities to see all project elements at the same stage
• Review priority entities to identify critical project tasks
• Explore sequential relationships to understand task workflows
• After retrieving context, follow up on specific entities of interest
• Use in conjunction with startsession to maintain session tracking
• Remember that this tool only retrieves existing information; use buildcontext to add new entities
