{
  "servers": {
    "redmine-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["build/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "REDMINE_URL": "your URL here",
        "REDMINE_API_KEY": "your API key here"
      }
    }
  }
}

After adding the file, restart VsCode and open the Chat window. Redmine MCP Server should be available and running in MCP servers list (Ctrl-P, then type "MCP list servers"):

Development

Building

npm run build

Linting

npm run lint
npm run format

Testing

This project uses Vitest as its testing framework, providing fast test execution, watch mode, and comprehensive coverage reports.

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run tests once and exit
npm run test:run

# Run only e2e tests
npm run test:e2e

# Run tests with UI
npm run test:ui

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage

Coverage Reporting

Code coverage is automatically collected and reported in the CI pipeline using Vitest's built-in coverage support with the V8 provider. Coverage reports are:

• Generated for every test run in CI

• Uploaded as workflow artifacts (available for 30 days)

• Displayed in the GitHub Actions workflow summary

• Stored in the coverage/ directory locally

To generate coverage locally:

npm run test:coverage

Coverage reports include:

• HTML report: Open coverage/index.html in your browser for detailed line-by-line coverage

• JSON summary: coverage/coverage-summary.json contains overall metrics

• Text output: Coverage percentages displayed in the terminal

The coverage configuration excludes test files, configuration files, and build artifacts to focus on source code coverage.

Test Structure

• test/e2e/ - End-to-end tests using Docker and Playwright

Writing Tests

Tests use Vitest's describe, it, and expect API:

import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";

describe("My Feature", () => {
  it("should work correctly", () => {
    expect(1 + 1).toBe(2);
  });
});
