Plane MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Plane integration. This server provides tools and resources for interacting with Plane through AI agents.

Features

• 🔧 Plane Integration: Interact with Plane APIs and services
• 🔌 Multiple Transports: Supports stdio, SSE, and streamable HTTP transports
• 🌐 Remote & Local: Works both locally and as a remote service
• 🛠️ Extensible: Easy to add new tools and resources

Usage

The server supports three transport methods. We recommend using uvx as it doesn't require installation.

1. Stdio Transport (for local use)

MCP Client Configuration (using uvx - recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["plane-mcp-server", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "PLANE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
        "PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG": "<your-workspace-slug>",
        "PLANE_BASE_URL": "https://api.plane.so"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Remote HTTP Transport with OAuth

Connect to the hosted Plane MCP server using OAuth authentication.

URL: https://mcp.plane.so/http/mcp

MCP Client Configuration (for tools like Claude Desktop without native remote MCP support):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.plane.so/http/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Note: OAuth authentication will be handled automatically when connecting to the remote server.

3. Remote HTTP Transport using PAT Token

Connect to the hosted Plane MCP server using a Personal Access Token (PAT).

URL: https://mcp.plane.so/api-key/mcp

Headers:

• Authorization: Bearer <PAT_TOKEN>
• X-Workspace-slug: <SLUG>

MCP Client Configuration (for tools like Claude Desktop without native remote MCP support):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.plane.so/http/api-key/mcp"],
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <PAT_TOKEN>",
        "X-Workspace-slug": "<SLUG>"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. SSE Transport (Legacy)

⚠️ Legacy Transport: SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport is maintained for backward compatibility. New implementations should use the HTTP transport (sections 2 or 3) instead.

Connect to the hosted Plane MCP server using OAuth authentication via Server-Sent Events.

URL: https://mcp.plane.so/sse

MCP Client Configuration (for tools that support SSE transport):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.plane.so/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Note: OAuth authentication will be handled automatically when connecting to the remote server. This transport is deprecated in favor of the HTTP transport.

Configuration

Authentication

The server requires authentication via environment variables:

• PLANE_BASE_URL: Base URL for Plane API (default: https://api.plane.so) - Optional
• PLANE_API_KEY: API key for authentication (required for stdio transport)
• PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG: Workspace slug identifier (required for stdio transport)
• PLANE_ACCESS_TOKEN: Access token for authentication (alternative to API key)

Example (for stdio transport):

export PLANE_BASE_URL="https://api.plane.so"
export PLANE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG="your-workspace-slug"

Note: For remote HTTP transports (OAuth or PAT), authentication is handled via the connection method (OAuth flow or PAT headers) and does not require these environment variables.

Available Tools

The server provides comprehensive tools for interacting with Plane. All tools use Pydantic models from the Plane SDK for type safety and validation.

Deprecation Notice

⚠️ The Node.js-based plane-mcp-server is deprecated and no longer maintained.

This repository represents the new Python+FastMCP based implementation of the Plane MCP server. If you were using the previous Node.js version, please migrate to this Python-based version for continued support and updates.

The new implementation offers:

• Better type safety with Pydantic models
• Improved performance with FastMCP
• Enhanced tool coverage
• Active maintenance and development

For migration assistance, please refer to the configuration examples in this README or open an issue for support.

Old Node.js Configuration (Deprecated):

If you were using the previous Node.js-based @makeplane/plane-mcp-server, your configuration looked like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@makeplane/plane-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PLANE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
        "PLANE_API_HOST_URL": "<HOST_URL_FOR_SELF_HOSTED>",
        "PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG": "<YOUR_WORKSPACE_SLUG>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Please migrate to the new Python-based configuration shown in the Usage section above.
