From the repository

Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- uv (fast Python package manager)
- An OpenProject instance (cloud or self-hosted)
- OpenProject API key (generated from your user profile)

1. Install uv (if not already installed)

macOS/Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows:

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Alternative (using pip):

pip install uv

2. Clone and Setup the Project

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/openproject-mcp.git
cd openproject-mcp

3. Create Virtual Environment and Install Dependencies

```bash

`test_connection`

, `check_permissions`, `list_projects`, `create_project`, `update_project`

`delete_project`

, `get_project`

`list_work_packages`

, `list_types`, `create_work_package`, `update_work_package`

`delete_work_package`

, `get_work_package`, `list_statuses`, `list_priorities`

`set_work_package_parent`

, `remove_work_package_parent`, `list_work_package_children`

`create_work_package_relation`

, `list_work_package_relations`, `update_work_package_relation`

`delete_work_package_relation`

, `get_work_package_relation`

`list_users`

, `get_user`, `create_membership`, `update_membership`, `delete_membership`

`get_membership`

, `list_project_members`, `list_user_projects`, `list_roles`, `get_role`

`list_time_entries`

, `create_time_entry`, `update_time_entry`, `delete_time_entry`

`list_versions`

, `create_version`

All these tools have been tested and work correctly with admin privileges:

Core Project Management:
- test_connection, check_permissions, list_projects, create_project, update_project
- delete_project, get_project

Work Package Management:
- list_work_packages, list_types, create_work_package, update_work_package
- delete_work_package, get_work_package, list_statuses, list_priorities

Work Package Hierarchy & Relations:
- set_work_package_parent, remove_work_package_parent, list_work_package_children
- create_work_package_relation, list_work_package_relations, update_work_package_relation
- delete_work_package_relation, get_work_package_relation

User & Membership Management:
- list_users, get_user, create_membership, update_membership, delete_membership
- get_membership, list_project_members, list_user_projects, list_roles, get_role

Time Tracking:
- list_time_entries, create_time_entry, update_time_entry, delete_time_entry

Project Versions:
- list_versions, create_version

- list_memberships: Works globally and with project_id filtering. User ID filtering (user_id) may not be supported in all OpenProject instances.
