name: openproject description: Use the OpenProject plugin MCP tools to inspect projects and manage work packages in a configured OpenProject instance.

OpenProject

Use this skill when the user wants to read or update data in OpenProject.

Before use

• Prefer the plugin MCP tools from the openproject server.
• Confirm connectivity first with server_info or get_current_user.
• If the task creates or updates work packages, resolve the project and type first with list_projects and list_project_types.

Workflow

1. Check connection state with server_info.
2. Discover the target project with list_projects.
3. When needed, inspect allowed types via list_project_types.
4. Use search_work_packages or get_work_package to gather context before making changes.
5. Prefer create_work_package, update_work_package, and comment_on_work_package for mutations.
6. Return the resulting work package id, subject, and API link in the answer.

Configuration

The plugin reads:

• OPENPROJECT_BASE_URL
• OPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN
• OPENPROJECT_ACCESS_TOKEN

OpenProject documents API v3 authentication with Bearer tokens, API tokens, and OAuth2. A personal API token in OPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN is the simplest setup.
