What is the Agama MCP server?

Connect Agama to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Redmine — exposes Redmine to AI agents as a small set of intent-shaped, well-typed tools. The agama mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

MCP server for Redmine. Enables AI agents to work with issues using simple natural language commands.

Installation

The server ships on npm as @0xkillaflow/agama-redmine-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • redmine_list_issues — read
  • redmine_get_issue — read
  • redmine_create_issue — write
  • redmine_update_issue — write
  • redmine_delete_issue — write · destructive
  • redmine_manage_issue_watchers — write
  • redmine_list_issue_relations — read
  • redmine_create_issue_relation — write
  • redmine_delete_issue_relation — write · destructive
  • redmine_search — read
  • redmine_list_projects — read
  • redmine_get_project — read

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: REDMINE_URL, REDMINE_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Node.js 22+ - A Redmine instance with the REST API enabled (Administration → Settings → API) - A Redmine API key — go to My account → API access key while signed in

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Agama.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Agama's toolset — redmine_list_issues, redmine_get_issue, redmine_create_issue and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
