How do I install the productplan mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `PRODUCTPLAN_API_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What the server does

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. Anthropic created it; other AI providers are adopting it. This server implements MCP so your AI assistant can read and write ProductPlan data.
