Rillsoft Project MCP server

Rillsoft Project MCP server

Deutsch

Rillsoft AI is the AI gateway to Rillsoft Project, the specialist solution for multi-project resource and capacity planning in mid-sized industrial companies: an MCP server built into Rillsoft Project 10, on top of its scheduling engine – not on top of a task list.

The server runs inside the visible, running Rillsoft Project on Windows and exposes the open project to an AI assistant or a script over the Model Context Protocol: project structure and schedule, roles, people, teams, machines and material, candidate search and staffing assistants, capacity analysis, baselines and plan/actual comparison, progress and status date, the resource pool, undo and redo.

This repository contains documentation and client configuration only. The server is part of the Rillsoft Project 10 desktop application; there is no package to install and no hosted endpoint.

What it is not

collaboration.

• Not a task, to-do or Kanban tool, and not a platform for chat, wiki or team

Project as a whole – product, editions and pricing are on www.rillsoft.com.

• Not a standalone AI product or chat plug-in, but AI access to Rillsoft

workload and the critical path; the AI reads the result.

• Not an AI that schedules on its own: Rillsoft Project calculates dates,

the open Rillsoft Project. Rillsoft sends nothing; what your AI client sends is governed by its provider's privacy policy.

• Not a cloud service: the server is reachable on 127.0.0.1 only, inside

changed.

• Not a team server: there is no remote access.
• Not a portfolio editor: portfolios can be opened and evaluated, but not

Set up

set the active switch and leave read-only mode switched on for now. Alternatively start RillPrj.exe /mcp (port 3928) or RillPrj.exe /mcp:8123 (another port) for one session. Check: the status line shows "running on port 3928".

1. Enable the server. In Rillsoft Project open Settings → MCP server,

1. Connect your AI client with clients/generic.json:

{
     "mcpServers": {
       "rillsoft-project": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3928/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

With an API key set in the settings, use clients/generic-api-key.json (Authorization: Bearer ). The format follows the MCP specification; field names may differ per client – your client's documentation is authoritative. We have verified the connection with Claude and Codex. Check: the client lists the server's tools – in read-only mode only the read-only ones. /mcp is exact, /mcp/ is a 404.

status: dates, progress, open conflicts, in five paragraphs.* Shipped industry examples with synthetic data let you try it without your own projects.
