A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with [Plane.so](https://plane.so), allowing them to manage projects and issues through Plane's API. Using this server, LLMs like Claude can directly interact with your project management workflows while maintaining user control and security.

> **⚠️ Important:** This MCP server is designed specifically for **Plane Cloud** instances. It only works with workspaces hosted on `https://app.plane.so/workspace-slug`. If you're using a self-hosted Plane installation, this server will not be compatible.

> **Note:** This is an enhanced fork of the original [kelvin6365/plane-mcp-server](https://github.com/kelvin6365/plane-mcp-server), extended with comprehensive Plane API functionality including states, modules (sprints), cycles, labels, team management, comments, links, attachments, time tracking, and issue types.

## Installation

### Option 1: Using NPM (Recommended)

The quickest way to get started is to use the published npm package:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@disrex/plane-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PLANE_API_KEY": "your_plane_api_key_here",
        "PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG": "your_workspace_slug_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Add this configuration to your Claude for Desktop config file:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

### Option 2: Manual Setup

If you prefer to set up the server manually, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/disrex-group/plane-mcp-server.git
cd plane-mcp-server
```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install
```

3. Build the server:

```bash
npm run build
```

## Getting Your Plane API Credentials

To use this MCP server, you'll need:

1. **Plane API Key**: Generate one from your **personal settings** (not workspace settings) in Plane
2. **Workspace Slug**: Found in your Plane workspace URL (e.g., `https://app.plane.so/workspace-slug/`)

After obtaining these credentials, use them in your Claude configuration as shown in the installation options above.

## Available Tools

> **Note:** Tool names use hyphens (e.g., `list-projects`), not underscores. The server will automatically convert underscores to hyphens for compatibility.

### list-projects

Lists all projects in your Plane workspace with pagination support.

Parameters:
- `per_page` (optional): Number of items per page (default: 100, max: 100)
- `cursor` (optional): Pagination cursor in format 'value:offset:is_prev'

Example:

```json
{
  "per_page": 50
}
```

Example with pagination:
```json
{
  "per_page": 25,
  "cursor": "project_name:25:false"
}
```

### get-project

Gets detailed information about a specific project.

Parameters:

- `project_id`: ID of the project to retrieve

Example:

```json
{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef"
}
```

### create-issue

Creates a new issue in a specified project.

Parameters:

- `project_id`: ID of the project where the issue should be created
- `name`: Title of the issue

> **Note:** The `assignees` and `labels` parameters must be arrays of ID strings. Common errors include providing a dictionary/object instead of an array, or accidentally nesting the entire issue data inside these fields. The server will attempt to handle these cases, but it's best to use the correct format.

Example:

```json
{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef",
  "name": "Implement new feature",

## Development

1. Install development dependencies:

```bash
npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node
```

2. Start the server in development mode:

```bash
npm run dev
```

## Testing

You can test the server using the MCP Inspector:

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
```

## Examples

Here are some example interactions you can try with Claude after setting up the Plane MCP server:

### Basic Project & Issue Management
1. "Can you list all the projects in my Plane workspace?"
2. "Please create a new high-priority issue in the Marketing project titled 'Update social media strategy'"
3. "What are all the high-priority issues in the Development project?"
4. "Update issue #123 in the QA project to change its priority to urgent"

### Sprint/Module Management
5. "Create a new sprint called 'Q1 2024 Features' in the Development project with a 2-week duration"
6. "Show me all the issues in the current sprint for the Backend project"
7. "Add issues #456 and #789 to the 'API Development' module"
8. "What sprints are currently active in the project?"

### Workflow & State Management
9. "List all the workflow states available in the Frontend project"
10. "Create a new state called 'Code Review' for the Backend project"
11. "Move issue #123 to the 'In Progress' state"

### Cycle & Planning Management
12. "Create a development cycle for Q1 2024 from January 1st to March 31st"
13. "Show me all issues assigned to the current development cycle"
14. "Add the high-priority issues to the 'Release Preparation' cycle"

### Label & Organization
15. "List all available labels in the project and create a new 'Security' label"
16. "Apply the 'Bug' and 'High Priority' labels to issue #789"

### Team & Member Management
17. "Who are all the members in this workspace?"
18. "Show me the team members assigned to the Backend project"
19. "List all issues assigned to John in the current sprint"

### Advanced Workflows
20. "Create a new sprint, add 5 specific issues to it, and set it to start next Monday"
21. "Show me all overdue issues across all projects and their current states"
22. "Create a comprehensive project status report with issues, sprints, and team assignments"

Claude will use the appropriate tools to interact with Plane while asking for your approval before creating or modifying any data.

## Security Considerations

- The API key requires proper Plane permissions to function
- All operations that modify data require explicit user approval
- Environment variables should be properly secured
- API keys should never be committed to version control

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 76 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources and actions, with no ambiguity. For example, tools like 'add-issues-to-cycle' and 'remove-issue-from-cycle' are complementary but distinct, and operations like 'create-issue' versus 'create-sub-issue' are well-defined.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a highly consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphens throughout (e.g., create-issue, list-issues, update-cycle). All tools adhere to this convention, making them predictable and readable without any mixing of styles.

Tool Count2/5

With 76 tools, the count is excessive for most agent use cases, likely causing cognitive overload and inefficiency. While the domain is comprehensive, this many tools feels heavy and could overwhelm users or agents trying to navigate the API surface.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for the project management domain, including issues, cycles, modules, states, labels, and more. There are no obvious gaps; every major operation (create, read, update, delete, list) is covered for all key resources.
