Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Connect AI assistants to Easy8 — read and update projects, issues, and comments.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: X-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 the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: X-Redmine-API-Key

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

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http easy8 'https://{easy8_host}/mcp' --header 'X-Redmine-API-Key: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

The address contains {…} parts that only you know (such as your account), so copy it and fill them in.

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easy8": {
      "url": "https://{easy8_host}/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Redmine-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is Easy8 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: X-Redmine-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Easy8 MCP Server

Connect your AI assistant directly to Easy8. The Easy8 MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and any other Model Context Protocol client read and update your projects, issues, and comments — using your own Easy8 permissions, against your own Easy8 instance.

The server is built into Easy8. There is nothing to install, host, or maintain — you enable it in admin settings and point your AI client at https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp.

Status: early access. The protocol surface and tool catalog will expand in future Easy8 releases.

Supported clients

The Easy8 MCP server speaks the standard Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP, so any compliant client works. Verified setup instructions below are provided for:

  • Claude Code — see Claude Code setup.
  • Cursor — see Cursor setup.
  • Visual Studio Code (GitHub Copilot) — see VS Code setup.
  • Claude Desktop and other stdio-only clients — via the mcp-remote proxy, see stdio clients setup.

Any other MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers with custom request headers will work out of the box — point it at https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp and send your Easy8 API key in the X-Redmine-API-Key header.

Before you start

You need three things:

  1. An Easy8 instance you can reach from your AI client (cloud or self-hosted).
  2. MCP enabled in Easy8 administration: *Settings → AI → Enable MCP → Save*. MCP is disabled by default. While disabled, /mcp returns 404 Not Found.
  3. A personal Easy8 API key. Generate it from your Easy8 user profile. The MCP server uses standard Easy8 API authentication and inherits all of your account's permissions and project visibility.

That's it. There is no separate install, no extra service to run, no OAuth app to register.

Endpoint and discovery

MCP endpointhttps://your-easy8.example.com/mcp
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthenticationAPI key in the X-Redmine-API-Key request header
Discovery cardhttps://your-easy8.example.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json

The discovery card is public metadata advertising the transport and capabilities. The /mcp endpoint itself still requires MCP to be enabled and a valid API key.

What the AI can do

The current tool catalog focuses on issue and project workflows.

ToolWhat it does
easy8_projects_listList visible projects. Filter by name or free-text query, paginate with limit / offset.
easy8_issues_listList visible issues. Filter by project, assignee, status (open / closed), subject, due-date period, or free-text query.
easy8_issues_getFetch one issue by ID, including metadata, description, and comment count.
easy8_issues_comments_listList issue journal notes, newest first.
easy8_issues_createCreate an issue. Subject and a project selector are required. Supports tracker, description, assignee, priority, status, dates, and custom fields.
easy8_issues_updateUpdate an existing issue. Supports field edits and appending a new journal note via notes.

Tools are discovered dynamically via the standard MCP tools/list method, so your client always sees the live, up-to-date schema.

Explore all tools in the official developers documentation for Easy8 MCP server: https://developers.easy8.com/AI/mcp-server/core-tools/

Example workflows
  • *"Find all open issues in the Q2 marketing project assigned to me and summarize what's blocked."*
  • *"Read the latest comments on issue #1842 and draft a status update for the customer."*
  • *"Create a follow-up task in the Onboarding project, assign it to Petra, due Friday, with the right tracker and priority."*
  • *"List every issue in the Helpdesk project closed last week and group them by tracker."*

Client setup

Replace https://your-easy8.example.com with your Easy8 URL and YOUR_API_KEY with your personal Easy8 API key.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http easy8 https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp \

--header "X-Redmine-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or your project's .cursor/mcp.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "easy8": { "url": "https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp", "headers": { "X-Redmine-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to your workspace's .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "easy8": { "type": "http", "url": "https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp", "headers": { "X-Redmine-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Claude Desktop (and other stdio-only clients)

Claude Desktop does not yet speak remote HTTP MCP natively. Use the mcp-remote proxy. Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "easy8": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://your-easy8.example.com/mcp", "--header", "X-Redmine-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" ] } } }

Restart the client after editing the config.

How it works

The Easy8 MCP server implements the standard JSON-RPC methods of the Model Context Protocol:

  • initialize — opens a session and returns server metadata and capabilities.
  • tools/list — returns the live tool catalog with full JSON schemas.
  • tools/call — invokes a tool with structured arguments and returns a structured response.
  • ping — health check.
  • notifications/initialized — accepted as the standard post-initialization notification from the client.

Full method-level reference, request/response examples, and error semantics live in the Easy8 developer documentation.

Security and permissions

  • Your permissions, your data. Every tool call runs with the permissions of the API key owner. The MCP server does not bypass Easy8 authorization, visibility rules, or required-field validation.
  • TLS in transit. Always use HTTPS for /mcp.
  • Treat API keys like passwords. Don't commit them to source control or share them in chat. Rotate from your Easy8 user profile if leaked.
  • Off by default. Easy8 administrators enable MCP explicitly per instance.
  • Use a dedicated service account. Create an Easy8 user with only the permissions the integration actually needs (often read-only) and generate the API key from that account instead of from a personal admin account.

Troubleshooting

`/mcp` returns `404 Not Found` MCP is not enabled. Go to *Settings → AI → Enable MCP* in Easy8 administration and save.

`POST /mcp` returns `401 Unauthorized` The request is missing a valid API key. Check that the X-Redmine-API-Key header is present and that the key has not been revoked or regenerated.

Tool call returns a permission error The MCP server enforces Easy8 authorization. Check the permissions of the API key owner on the project or issue in question.

`GET /mcp` returns `405 Method Not Allowed` Expected. The endpoint is JSON-RPC over POST; GET is not supported when MCP is enabled.
