Plane MCP Server

Trust Score smithery badge

MseeP.ai Security Assessment Badge

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with 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.

Features

  • List all projects in your Plane workspace
  • Get detailed information about specific projects
  • Create new issues with customizable properties
  • List and filter issues from projects
  • Get detailed information about specific issues
  • Update existing issues with new information

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.

Parameters: None

Example:

{}

get-project

Gets detailed information about a specific project.

Parameters:

  • project_id: ID of the project to retrieve

Example:

{
  "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
  • description_html: HTML description of the issue (required by Plane API)
  • priority (optional): Priority of the issue ("urgent", "high", "medium", "low", "none")
  • state_id (optional): ID of the state for this issue
  • assignees (optional): Array of user IDs to assign to this issue

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

Example:

{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef",
  "name": "Implement new feature",
  "description_html": "<p>We need to implement the new reporting feature</p>",
  "priority": "high",
  "assignees": ["user-id-1", "user-id-2"]
}

list-issues

Lists issues from a specified project with optional filtering.

Parameters:

  • project_id: ID of the project to get issues from
  • state_id (optional): Filter by state ID
  • priority (optional): Filter by priority
  • assignee_id (optional): Filter by assignee ID
  • limit (optional): Maximum number of issues to return (default: 50)

Example:

{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef",
  "priority": "high",
  "limit": 10
}

get-issue

Gets detailed information about a specific issue.

Parameters:

  • project_id: ID of the project containing the issue
  • issue_id: ID of the issue to retrieve

Example:

{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef",
  "issue_id": "01def456-7890-12gh-3456-789ijklmnopq"
}

update-issue

Updates an existing issue in a project.

Parameters:

  • project_id: ID of the project containing the issue
  • issue_id: ID of the issue to update
  • name (optional): Updated title of the issue
  • description_html (optional): HTML description of the issue (required by Plane API)
  • priority (optional): Updated priority of the issue
  • state_id (optional): Updated state ID of the issue
  • assignees (optional): Updated array of user IDs to assign to this issue

Note: The assignees parameter must be an array of user ID strings, following the same format guidelines as the create-issue tool.

Example:

{
  "project_id": "01abc123-4567-89de-0123-456789abcdef",
  "issue_id": "01def456-7890-12gh-3456-789ijklmnopq",
  "priority": "urgent",
  "description_html": "<p>Updated description with <strong>more details</strong></p>"
}

Development

  1. Install development dependencies:
npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node
  1. Start the server in development mode:
npm run dev

Testing

You can test the server using the MCP Inspector:

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:

  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"

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

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

Support

If you encounter any issues or have questions:

  1. Check the GitHub Issues section
  2. Consult the MCP documentation at modelcontextprotocol.io
  3. Open a new issue with detailed reproduction steps
