AI Solutions Overview

Use the Plane MCP server to integrate with Plane

Introduction​

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized interface that enables AI models to communicate with external tools and services. When combined with Server-Sent Events (SSE), it provides a powerful mechanism for real-time data transfer between AI models and external systems.

Alpha

The Plane MCP Server is currently in Alpha. Some aspects of the API may change. While MCP is standardized, it is also rapidly evolving. The Plane MCP Server aims to provide a stable implementation for developers to build robust AI-powered applications. Please send feedback to engineering@plane.so.

Using the Plane MCP Server​

Follow these steps to integrate with the Plane MCP Server.

Claude.ai​

  • Open Settings from the sidebar on the web or desktop app.
  • Scroll to the Integrations section and click Add more.
  • Enter the Integration URL: https://mcp.plane.so/sse
  • Click Connect to link your Plane workspace.

Claude Desktop​

Add Plane to Claude Desktop by updating your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.plane.so/sse"]
    }
  }
}

VSCode​

Connect Plane to VSCode by editing your .vscode.json or mcp.json file:

{
  "servers": {
    "plane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.plane.so/sse"]
    }
  }
}

If you encounter issues with Plane Auth, run the following command in your terminal to remove stale auth tokens, then restart the server. MCP Remote servers are still experimental.

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth/mcp-remote-*

Activating the Plane MCP Server​

After setup, when activating the server, you will be prompted in your browser to connect your Plane workspace to the MCP server.

When prompted to authorize, click Approve.

Next, choose the workspace you want to connect, review the permissions, and click Accept.

Congrats!​

You have successfully connected your Plane workspace to the MCP server!
