Plenty of integrations can create an issue. Fewer can restructure work — reparent a ticket, split a task into subtasks, record that one issue blocks another — and that is the part where Redmine differs from the alternatives. The mock mode is the other thing worth noticing: being able to exercise the whole tool surface with no instance behind it makes this safe to try before you point it at a live tracker. Set expectations on completeness — the README says plainly that this is not finished, and the tool list is the accurate picture of what exists today.
A TypeScript MCP server for Redmine, the open-source project management system. It covers reads and writes on projects and issues, and pays particular attention to the structural parts — parent-child hierarchies and typed relations between issues — that make Redmine worth using in the first place.
- Projects: list the ones you can reach and open one in detail — `redmine_projects_list`, `redmine_projects_get`
- Issues with filtering, full detail, creation and update — `redmine_issues_list`, `redmine_issues_get`, `redmine_issues_create`, `redmine_issues_update`
- Hierarchy as its own set of operations rather than a field you have to know about: create a subtask under a parent, set or change an existing issue's parent, promote an issue back to top level, and list a parent's children — `redmine_issue_create_subtask`, `redmine_issue_set_parent`, `redmine_issue_remove_parent`, `redmine_issue_get_children`
- Typed relations between issues — read them, create one, delete one — plus comments on an issue — `redmine_issue_relations_get`, `redmine_issue_relation_create`, `redmine_issue_relation_delete`, `redmine_issue_comment_add`
- The current user's details and permissions, so an assistant knows what it is allowed to do — `redmine_users_current`
- A mock mode with a complete data provider that simulates every operation with predictable responses, for development, offline work and demonstrations without touching a Redmine instance
- A Docker-based Redmine development environment in the repository, with a Postgres database, sample projects and issues, for testing against something real but disposable
A reachable Redmine instance and an API key with the permissions you need. Three values go into your client config: `REDMINE_URL`, `REDMINE_API_KEY` and `LOG_LEVEL`. Node.js — the implementation lives in the TypeScript sub-project and the client entry points at its built output. The package is `redmcp-typescript` (1.0.0 in package.json). One practical gotcha the README flags: Redmine requires a priority when creating an issue, so that field has to be supplied.
