Redmine MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to Redmine. It exposes your Redmine instance's projects, issues, time tracking, wiki pages, and files as MCP tools. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
