README

Redmine MCP Server

stdio-based Model Context Protocol server that wraps a Redmine instance through its REST API (*.json endpoints). It runs as a separate Node.js process; no changes to the Redmine Rails app are required.

Requirements

Node.js 20+
A Redmine user with an API access key (My account → Show API access key)
Network access from this process to your Redmine REDMINE_BASE_URL

Install

No install needed for normal use — coding agents launch it on demand via npx:

npx -y redmine-mcp-connector

See CONNECTING.md for exact setup instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, Zed, and any other MCP client, plus a local-build and Docker alternative.

To hack on the server itself, clone this repo instead:

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Environment variables (see .env.example):

Variable	Required	Description
`REDMINE_BASE_URL`	yes	Base URL, e.g. `https://redmine.example.com` (no trailing slash)
`REDMINE_API_KEY`	yes	`X-Redmine-API-Key` value
`REDMINE_IMPERSONATE_USER`	no	Sets `X-Redmine-Switch-User` (admin-only in Redmine)
`REDMINE_READONLY`	no	If `true` / `1`, blocks all mutating HTTP methods
`REDMINE_ALLOW_RAW_REQUEST`	no	If `true` / `1`, registers the `redmine_request` escape-hatch tool
`REDMINE_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS`	no	Default `15000`
`REDMINE_MAX_PAGES`	no	Max pages when using `fetch_all` on list tools (default `20`)
`REDMINE_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES`	no	Cap for `redmine_attachment_download` (default 5 MiB)

Run

REDMINE_BASE_URL=https://your-redmine.example.com REDMINE_API_KEY=secret npm start
# or during development:
REDMINE_BASE_URL=... REDMINE_API_KEY=... npm run dev
