Work with Redmine issues, projects, time entries, wiki pages and more. Read-only by default.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work
  • You need to fill in: REDMINE_SERVER, REDMINE_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: REDMINE_SERVER, REDMINE_API_KEY, REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add redmine --env REDMINE_SERVER=your-value --env REDMINE_API_KEY=your-value --env REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=your-value -- docker run -i --rm -e REDMINE_SERVER -e REDMINE_API_KEY -e REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES ghcr.io/aarondpn/redmine-mcp:2.19.1

Fill in the empty values before running it.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • REDMINE_SERVER required env
    Base URL of your Redmine instance, e.g. https://redmine.example.com
  • REDMINE_API_KEY secret required env
    Your Redmine API key (My account -> API access key)
  • REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES env
    Set to true to also register create/update/delete tools

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Redmine safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: REDMINE_SERVER, REDMINE_API_KEY

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 –, and the latest version (2.19.1) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

redmine-cli

A command-line interface for Redmine project management.

English · 简体中文 · 日本語

Installation · Getting Started · AI Agents

Installation

Homebrew (macOS, Linux):

brew install aarondpn/tap/redmine

Install script (macOS, Linux):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aarondpn/redmine-cli/main/install.sh | bash

PowerShell (Windows):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aarondpn/redmine-cli/main/install.ps1 | iex

Or download a binary from GitHub Releases. Update with redmine update. More options: installation docs.

Getting Started

# Configure your Redmine server and API key

redmine auth login

List issues

redmine issues list

View a specific issue

redmine issues view 123

Log time

redmine time log

Script it: JSON output filtered with the built-in --jq

redmine issues list --project myproject --jq '.[].id' redmine issues get 123 --jq '.status.name'

Run redmine --help to see all available commands.

-o json prints machine-readable JSON, and -q/--jq filters it (strings are printed raw, everything else as JSON). Errors always go to stderr; in JSON mode they are a single-line {"error": {...}} envelope on the last line of stderr, stdout stays empty and the exit code is non-zero. See Output formats.

Using with AI Agents

redmine-cli ships an Agent Skill (the open SKILL.md standard, supported by 35+ agents) and a built-in MCP server. Both are vendor-neutral - pick the one-liner that matches your tool:

ToolOne-line install
Any agent (skill)npx skills add aarondpn/redmine-cli
Any MCP hostredmine mcp serve (then add to host config)
Docker (MCP only)docker run -i --rm -e REDMINE_SERVER -e REDMINE_API_KEY ghcr.io/aarondpn/redmine-mcp
Claude Code/plugin marketplace add aarondpn/redmine-cli then /plugin install redmine
Codex CLIcodex plugin marketplace add aarondpn/redmine-cli then /plugins (install Redmine from the added marketplace)
Gemini CLIgemini extensions install https://github.com/aarondpn/redmine-cli

The skill teaches the agent the non-obvious parts of the CLI (output formats, name resolution, pagination, common workflows). The MCP server exposes the same operations as typed tool calls, read-only by default, with per-group / per-tool allow- and deny-lists.

Full configuration, host-specific snippets (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zed, VS Code), and write-tool gating: see the AI Agent Integration guide.

Development

Local E2E testing against a real Redmine instance (Docker, supported on Redmine 4.2, 5.1, 6.1, 7.0): see e2e/README.md.
