Common questions

Is Cpm Planner safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (0.8.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

cpm-planner

cpm-planner is a Critical Path Method (CPM) planner for agent work, exposed as an MCP server. You submit a task graph and it computes the schedule: earliest and latest start and finish, slack, the critical path and the bottleneck tasks that gate completion. It then leases lock-aware cohorts of ready deliverables with disjoint file sets, so several workers can run in parallel without colliding. Plans can live in the repository as plan-as-code files with forkable, comparable variants; read-only tools lint, level against resource capacities and run Monte Carlo risk; earned-value tools track PV, EV, AC, SPI and CPI against a frozen baseline; and an optional AI review proposes verified schedule improvements. Any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, a custom orchestrator, or a praxec workflow) drives it over stdio. It is a standalone tool with no dependency on praxec.

Install

Prebuilt binary (recommended)

Prebuilt packages are published for Linux, macOS and Windows on x86_64 and ARM64.

The installers resolve your OS and CPU and download the matching archive. They verify its SHA-256 against the release's `checksums.sha256` before installing, then atomically replace the binary in a user-local directory. A checksum mismatch aborts with a non-zero exit and installs nothing. Re-running the installer upgrades in place.

# Linux / macOS  ->  ~/.local/bin/cpm-planner

curl -fsSL https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell) -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cpm-planner\cpm-planner.exe

irm https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

The installer prints the absolute path it installed to. Use that path when you register the server with a GUI client.

Installer details: inspecting the script, PATH, upgrades and direct downloads

If you would rather read the script before running it, download, inspect, then run (see Pin a version for ):

# Linux / macOS

curl -fsSLO https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.sh less install.sh sh install.sh --version

# Windows

irm https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1 Get-Content install.ps1 .\install.ps1 -Version

PATH. If the install directory is not on your PATH, the installer prints the exact line to add. Pass --add-to-path (-AddToPath on Windows) to have it do that for you, user-level only and never with sudo.

On Linux and macOS it appends the line only if it is not already there, to:

~/.zshrc for zsh;
~/.bash_profile if it exists, else ~/.bashrc, for bash;
~/.profile for other shells.

For fish it prints fish_add_path for you to run instead of writing a file.

Downloads. The installers only accept https:// download URLs.

Upgrades. After upgrading, restart your MCP client so it launches the new binary. On Windows the old exe is renamed to cpm-planner.exe.old and removed on the next run.

Direct downloads. You can also download an archive yourself and check it against checksums.sha256; a machine-readable release-manifest.json is published too. All assets are at https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest.

Pin a version

In the commands in this README, is a release tag such as v0.2.0. Pick one from the releases page.

# Linux / macOS

curl -fsSL https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- --version

Windows (PowerShell): the piped form cannot take parameters, so use the environment variable...

$env:PRAXEC_VERSION = ' '; irm https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

...or a script block

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner/releases/latest/download/install.ps1))) -Version

npm

With Node 18 or later, install the cpm-planner command from npm:

npm install -g @matthew-cochran/cpm

cpm-planner --version

The package is a small launcher. It downloads the release binary for your platform, verifies its checksum and caches it, during install or, where npm skips install scripts, on first run. The package version is the release version, so npm install -g @matthew-cochran/cpm@0.2.0 pins one. To run it without installing, use npx -y @matthew-cochran/cpm. For details and environment variables, see npm/README.md.

From source

Build and install a tagged release with Cargo (Rust 1.99 or newer):

cargo install --git https://github.com/praxec/cpm-planner --tag <version> --locked

The crates.io listing lags behind the GitHub releases until the next cargo publish, so cargo install cpm-planner does not give you the current version yet. Install from the tag as above.

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/praxec/cpm-planner

docker run -i --rm -v cpm-planner-data:/data ghcr.io/praxec/cpm-planner

-i keeps stdin open for the stdio transport.

The image sets CPM_PLANNER_DB=/data/cpm-planner.db and declares /data as a volume owned by the unprivileged app user, so a named volume persists plan state across runs. For a bind mount (-v "$PWD:/data"), run as yourself so the directory is writable: --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)". Pass -e CPM_PLANNER_DB=... only to override the path.

To register the image with a client, put docker in command and the rest in args. For example, in Claude Code:

claude mcp add cpm-planner --scope user -- docker run -i --rm -v cpm-planner-data:/data ghcr.io/praxec/cpm-planner

Verify the install

cpm-planner --version

It prints cpm-planner . To check the MCP side without a client, run the smoke script from the repository. It performs the MCP initialize and tools/list handshake and fails if plan.submit, plan.status or plan.get is missing:

node scripts/mcp-smoke.mjs /absolute/path/to/cpm-planner

Quickstart: plan as code

Write a plan as .cpm-planner/plans/ / .json (a PlanGraph):

plan.lint {path: ".cpm-planner/plans/checkout/main.json"} — static checks, no state written.
plan.sync {path: ".cpm-planner/plans/checkout/main.json"} — register the variant and return its plan_id.
plan.status {plan_id} — schedule, critical path, ready set and locks.

plan.sync tracks the file by content hash; plan.status reports definition_drift when the tracked file and the stored head graph disagree.

Quickstart: earned value

Freeze the baseline, record progress, then read the report (earned_pct is earned in proportion under earning_rule: "weighted"; fifty_fifty credits 50% once a deliverable is in progress or has any reported earned_pct, and the default zero_hundred earns at completion):

plan.baseline {plan_id} — freeze the CPM schedule and budgets as baseline 1.
plan.mark_status {plan_id, deliverable_id, caller_id, status: {"status": "in_progress"}, earned_pct: 50, actual_effort_hours: 4} — report progress and actual cost.
plan.ev {plan_id} — PV, EV, AC, SV, CV, SPI, CPI, EAC and alerts.
plan.snapshot {plan_id, format: "markdown"} — append the reading and export a Markdown table.

A ratio with a zero denominator is null and explained in undefined; alerts (SPI_BELOW_0_9, CPI_BELOW_0_9) compare the two latest stored readings.

Use with AI agents

Any MCP client can run cpm-planner over stdio: register the cpm-planner binary as the command, or, with Node 18 or later, npx -y @matthew-cochran/cpm. For a GUI client, use the absolute path the installer printed.

Install the agent skills (/cpm-plan and friends) with cpm-planner skills install --target --user (or --project ), where is claude, codex, cursor, copilot, gemini, all, or agents-md (project only).

docs/AGENT-INSTALL.md has the per-client steps (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and others), env blocks, verification and troubleshooting. llms.txt indexes the docs for LLMs.

MCP tools

Tool	Does
`plan.submit`	Submit a task graph; returns a plan id (idempotent on the graph + caller). A prerequisite is a deliverable id string or an object `{id, consumes?, kind?: artifact\	interface, lag_hours?}`; both forms round-trip through` plan.get`. A deliverable may set` milestone: true `(an acceptance point, zero-length unless given an estimate or duration, reported in` plan.status milestones`). An optional` earning_rule `(`zero_hundred`, the default: 100% only when complete;` fifty_fifty`: 50% once in progress or any` earned_pct `is reported;` weighted`: the reported` earned_pct`) sets how earned value credits partial progress and is part of the plan's identity. A deliverable's optional` duration_hours `(calendar time) replaces effort as its scheduled length and a prerequisite's` lag_hours `delays the dependent's start; effort stays the cost basis. An optional` estimate {optimistic, likely, pessimistic} `(`0 <= optimistic <= likely <= pessimistic`) is a three-point effort estimate. Scheduled-length precedence:` duration_hours `>` estimated_effort_hours `>` estimate.likely `> 0 for a milestone > the estimator default; Monte Carlo samples the estimate only when neither` duration_hours `nor` estimated_effort_hours `is set. Limits: at most 5000 deliverables, and every hour value (effort, duration, lag, estimate) finite and between 0 and 1000000 (`INVALID_GRAPH`). With` name `(optional` project`/`variant`, variant defaults to` main`) it registers a named variant instead of an unnamed plan.
