Description

To make it easier to integrate Redmine with AI agents, Redmine provides MCP server functionality.

Precedent cases

Actions #1

Updated by Tolga Uzun 3 months ago

This would be a great feature. The current implementations of Redmine and MCP require a user-specific API key for setup. This is a limitation because when an administrator wants to configure this feature and integrate it into their agent platform, there needs to be a way to authorize users individually, ensuring they only access the information they’re permitted to see. For example, Notion MCP uses OAuth to authorize users without requiring long-term API keys. We can leverage Redmine’s new OAuth provider feature to achieve the same user-level authentication.

Actions #2

Updated by Tolga Uzun 3 days ago

I started developing a Redmine MCP server that uses Redmine 6.1's new IdP feature providing Applications: https://github.com/tuzumkuru/mcp-redmine-oauth
Instead of running it on your own machine, this mcp app is run on a server and lets specific redmine users authenticate through oauth and use redmine within their authorization without a need of an api key. I believe this will provide an easier way to use the MCP especially for non-dev users. It is like the Notion's MCP functionality.
