What it actually does

OpenProject also provides an official MCP server in Professional plans and above. As of July 2026, that server exposes read-only tools. This community project is a good fit when you need write operations, Codex-specific guidance, or support for Community Edition. See the official MCP documentation for the current capabilities of OpenProject's server.

  • Broad read and write coverage: — manage projects and work packages, upload
  • Community Edition friendly: — it uses the generally available OpenProject
  • Codex-native workflow: — tools and guidance are packaged together so Codex
  • Runs locally: — credentials stay in a private file on your machine, and

Configuration

  • Bun 1.3 or newer - Codex CLI with MCP support - An OpenProject API token with access to the projects you want to manage The plugin and its local MCP server run natively on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It uses stable OpenProject API v3 endpoints and does not require an OpenProject Enterprise add-on. If you use Community Edition, make sure API tokens are enabled in your instance.
