MCP Redmine

MCP Redmine is an MCP server that provides an integration between large language model clients and the Redmine project management platform. Built in Python and managed using uv, it connects AI assistants directly to self-hosted or cloud-based Redmine instances via the standard Redmine REST API. Software developers, project managers, and technical support leads use MCP Redmine to interact with their tracking workspace through natural language queries. By exposing Redmine capabilities via the Model Context Protocol, the server enables users to list projects, monitor issue queues, view assigned tasks, and check ticket statuses without manually opening the web interface. Users authenticate using their standard Redmine URL and an individual API key, ensuring that existing user permissions and role-based access restrictions are respected. The integration streamlines daily workflows, allowing teams to review ongoing development tickets, query milestone progress, and inspect project data directly from MCP-compliant interfaces like Claude Desktop.
