Plane MCP Server

Content

Plane MCP Server is Plane's official Model Context Protocol server for connecting Claude and other MCP clients to Plane workspaces. It exposes tools for reading and managing Plane projects, work items, cycles, modules, initiatives, intake work items, labels, states, comments, links, work logs, pages, workspace features, and user information.

The current repository is the Python and FastMCP implementation. Its README notes that the older Node.js @makeplane/plane-mcp-server package is deprecated and directs users to migrate to this Python-based server.

Features

• Official MCP server from Plane.
• Python package plane-mcp-server with plane-mcp-server console script.
• Local stdio transport with uvx plane-mcp-server stdio.
• Hosted remote HTTP transport with Plane OAuth.
• Hosted remote HTTP transport with Personal Access Token headers.
• Legacy SSE transport for backward compatibility.
• 100+ tools across more than 20 Plane resource categories.
• Project, work item, cycle, module, initiative, intake, property, epic, milestone, label, state, comment, link, relation, activity, work log, page, workspace, and user tools.
• Pydantic model usage through the Plane SDK for typed tool inputs.
• Structured logging for server runtime events.

Installation

For local stdio usage with uvx:

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

Use the README's hosted HTTP examples when you want Plane-managed OAuth or PAT authentication instead of local stdio environment variables.

Use Cases

• Ask Claude to list Plane projects and summarize active work.
• Search work items across a workspace before planning a sprint.
• Retrieve a work item and its comments before drafting a response.
• Create or update a work item after a human reviews the exact fields.
• Add work items to a cycle, module, or milestone with explicit approval.
• Summarize work logs, project membership, workspace features, or activity history.
• Use hosted OAuth transport for a managed Plane connection when the MCP client supports it.

Safety and Privacy

Plane MCP can alter shared planning and issue-tracking state. Treat create, update, delete, archive, unarchive, transfer, and comment tools as write operations that need human review. Use a workspace-scoped API key or OAuth grant with the minimum access needed for the workflow.

Plane issues often contain customer names, product plans, security bugs, support conversations, implementation links, and internal assignments. Review which workspace and project Claude can access, protect API keys and PATs, and avoid forwarding sensitive issue bodies or comments to unapproved model sessions.
