Redmine MCP Server
A local MCP server for accessing a corporate Redmine instance. By default the server is fully read-only; an optional flag enables a limited set of write operations for issues and time entries. It lets AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, etc.) work with issues, projects, members, versions, wiki, attachments, time entries, and reference data.
Quick Start
This documentation covers installing and connecting Redmine MCP Server itself. Installing and configuring the AI clients themselves is out of scope here.
or build it yourself: ./gradlew bootJar (see Build). A Docker image is published as well.
- Install JDK 25+.
- Download redmine-mcp-server.jar from the latest release,
- Obtain REDMINEURL and REDMINEAPI_KEY (see Configuration).
- Verify that the JAR starts (see Smoke Test).
- Add the JAR to your client's MCP configuration (see Connecting to an AI Client).
For Claude Code that is one command:
claude mcp add --scope user -e REDMINE_URL=https://redmine.example.com -e REDMINE_API_KEY=your_key -- redmine java -jar /path/to/redmine-mcp-server.jarArchitecture
The server supports only the stdio transport.

└─────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └──────────┘The AI client launches the server as a child process; communication follows the MCP protocol over stdin/stdout.
Tools
By default the server exports 32 read-only MCP tools. When REDMINEMCPWRITE_ENABLED=true is set, 7 more write tools are added.
