What is the Leantime MCP MCP server?

Leantime MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the leantime mcp mcp server. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxy bridge for Leantime project management system.

What Leantime MCP does

A robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxy bridge for Leantime project management system. Built with TypeScript and the official MCP SDK, this tool provides a reliable bridge between MCP clients and Leantime servers.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:

  • Parameters — The Parameters tool exposed by this server
  • Examples — The Examples tool exposed by this server
  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Installing the leantime mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as leantime-mcp, 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.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: YOUR_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18.0.0 or higher - TypeScript 5.4.0 or higher - Access to a Leantime instance with MCP support

Where it fits

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. Leantime MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Parameters, Examples, Prerequisites — 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.

Practical notes

  • This is a hosted server — you point your client at an endpoint rather than running a local process, so there is nothing to keep updated on your machine.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by Leantime, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the leantime mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
