How to Set Up and Use Plane Project Management
The Plane MCP Server connects AI assistants to Plane.so — the open-source project management tool — exposing over 100 tools that cover projects, work items, cycles, modules, epics, comments, time logs, and more. Through this server, LLMs like Claude can create and update issues, search across workspaces, manage sprints, and read project activity using natural language commands. Product managers and engineering teams use it to embed AI-driven project management directly into their development workflows without switching between tools.
Prerequisites
- A Plane.so account with an active workspace (self-hosted or cloud at app.plane.so)
- A Plane API key generated from your Plane profile settings
- Your Plane workspace slug (visible in the URL after app.plane.so/)
- Python 3.10+ and the uv tool installed (for stdio transport), or Node.js 22+ (for remote transport)
- An MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Generate a Plane API key
Log in to Plane, go to your Profile > API Tokens, and create a new token. Copy the key — you will need it in the configuration step. Also note your workspace slug from the URL.
Install uv (if using stdio transport)
The recommended local transport uses uvx to run the Python-based plane-mcp-server without a manual install step.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your MCP client config to register the Plane server. Provide your API key and workspace slug as environment variables.
Alternative: connect via remote transport
Plane hosts a managed MCP endpoint at mcp.plane.so. Use mcp-remote to connect without running a local process. This uses OAuth or Personal Access Token authentication.
npx mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.plane.so/http/mcpRestart your MCP client and verify
Restart Claude Desktop or your client to load the Plane server. Ask it to list your projects to confirm the connection is working.
Plane Project Management Examples
Client configuration (stdio with uvx)
Register the Plane MCP server in Claude Desktop using uvx and your API credentials.

}Prompts to try
Use these prompts with your AI assistant once Plane is connected.
- "List all open issues in the 'backend' project assigned to me."
- "Create a new issue: 'Fix login timeout bug' in the authentication project, high priority."
- "Show me all issues in the current sprint cycle for the mobile project."
- "Move issue BACK-42 to the 'In Review' state."
- "Summarize the last 7 days of activity in the platform workspace."Troubleshooting Plane Project Management
Authentication error: 401 Unauthorized when making requests
Double-check that PLANE_API_KEY is the full token string from Plane Profile > API Tokens. Ensure PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG matches exactly the slug in your Plane URL (case-sensitive). For self-hosted Plane, set PLANE_BASE_URL to your own instance URL.
uvx command not found when starting the server
Install uv first with: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh. After installation, restart your terminal and verify with 'uvx --version'.
The server starts but no projects appear when listing
Confirm the workspace slug is correct and that your API key has access to that workspace. If using a self-hosted Plane instance, verify PLANE_BASE_URL points to your API endpoint, not the frontend URL.
