OpenProject 17.2 Adds MCP Server for Secure AI Integrations

Mar 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 25, 2026

OpenProject, an open-source project management platform, released version 17.2 with a new MCP Server as an Enterprise add-on. The server exposes OpenProject's APIv3 resources as MCP-compatible endpoints, enabling secure, authenticated connections from LLMs and other MCP clients.

This brings AI agents into project workflows without sacrificing data control. Rather than exporting data to external AI services, teams keep project information in OpenProject while AI systems query it through the MCP interface. The Enterprise add-on includes administrative UI support for configuring and monitoring these connections.

Teams on Enterprise plans can enable the MCP Server to let AI agents access project data contextually — querying work packages, tracking progress, or generating reports while respecting existing permissions and authentication.
