How do I install OpenProject?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

The publisher lists these environment variables: OPENPROJECT_URL, OPENPROJECT_API_KEY, OPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN, OPENPROJECT_MCP_READ_ONLY, OPENPROJECT_MCP_ADMIN_TOOLS, OPENPROJECT_MCP_DISABLE, OPENPROJECT_MCP_PROFILE.

What transport does OpenProject use?

OpenProject runs locally over stdio.

When was OpenProject last checked?

OPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN — OAuth bearer token used instead of the API key (OAuth deployments)
OPENPROJECT_MCP_READ_ONLY — Set to 1 to serve read tools only
