MCP Redmine - Quick Start Guide (Windows)

This guide will help you set up and run MCP Redmine on your Windows machine, using the folder structure and commands from your setup.

2. Clone the MCP Redmine Repository

git clone https://github.com/runekaagaard/mcp-redmine.git
cd "C:/Users/Ade Sulaiman/Desktop/AI/redmine mcp/mcp-redmine"

5. Run the MCP Redmine Server

uv run mcp_redmine/server.py main

6. (Optional) Integrate with Claude Desktop

Edit your config at C:/Users/Ade Sulaiman/AppData/Roaming/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redmine": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "C:/Users/Ade Sulaiman/Desktop/AI/redmine mcp/mcp-redmine",
        "-m",
        "mcp_redmine.server",
        "main"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REDMINE_URL": "http://localhost:3000",
        "REDMINE_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

7. Verify the Connection

• Restart Claude Desktop if running.
• Try a Redmine command in Claude Desktop (e.g., "List all Redmine projects").
• Check the MCP Redmine server terminal for activity.
