Helios-9 MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server
Helios9 mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Helios9 directly. Helios-9 MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server.
An AI-native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive project management context to AI agents. Built for seamless integration with Claude, OpenAI, and other AI systems via the Helios-9 API.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:
Projects — Create, read, update, delete projectsTasks — Manage tasks within your projectsDocuments — Create and manage project documentationAnalytics — Access project insights and metricslist_projects — List all projects with filteringget_project — Get detailed project informationcreate_project — Create new projectupdate_project — Update existing projectlist_tasks — List tasks with filteringget_task — Get specific task detailscreate_task — Create new taskupdate_task — Update task status/detailslist_documents — List documents with filteringget_document — Get specific documentThe server is distributed via npm as helios9-mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: HELIOS_API_URL, HELIOS_API_KEY, YOUR_HELIOS9_API_KEY, YOUR_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. Helios9 sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Projects, Tasks, Documents among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
