# Plane MCP Server

> ⚠️ **This is a fork** of [makeplane/plane-mcp-server](https://github.com/makeplane/plane-mcp-server).
> For the upstream project's general setup, configuration and tool reference, read the
> [official README](https://github.com/makeplane/plane-mcp-server#readme) — most of it applies here too.
>
> **What's different in this fork (read this before using the Pages tools):**
> - The `page` tools (Pages API) were re-routed to Plane's **legacy `/api/` route** and authenticate with your
> **`PLANE_API_KEY`** sent as the `X-Api-Key` header. The upstream SDK hard-codes `/api/v1`, which returns
> **404** for Pages on Plane CE 1.4.2 (Pages live under `plane.app.urls`, not under `/api/v1/`).
> - **Your Plane CE server needs a patch first.** API keys are rejected on the `/api/` tree unless you add
> `APIKeyAuthentication` to DRF's `DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES` and to the view base classes.
> Get the patch + apply / bind-mount instructions here:
> **<https://github.com/Vincent-Wu-Haha/plane-ce-pages-apikey-patch>**
> - The MCP client env vars are the same as upstream: `PLANE_API_KEY`, `PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG`, and
> (for self-hosted) `PLANE_BASE_URL`. With the server patch applied, those keys now also cover the Pages API.

"""Pages, at workspace or project scope, their hierarchy, and their links to work items.

Every page action is scoped by whether project_id is supplied: with it the page
is a project page, without it a workspace page. The SDK has a separate endpoint
pair for each, so the branch is explicit rather than a default.
NOTE ON PLANE CE 1.4.2
----------------------
In Plane Community Edition 1.4.2 the Pages REST API is served ONLY under the
legacy ``/api/`` prefix (``/api/workspaces/<slug>/projects/<uuid>/pages/``). The
``plane`` SDK hard-codes ``/api/v1`` in ``plane.config.Configuration``, and the
Pages routes are not registered under ``/api/v1/`` at all, so every SDK call to
Pages 404s.

This module talks to the legacy ``/api/`` endpoint directly so it can reuse the
SAME ``PLANE_API_KEY`` as the rest of the connector (the ``X-Api-Key`` header),
instead of a browser session cookie.

IMPORTANT — server-side prerequisite
-------------------------------------
Out of the box, the legacy ``/api/`` routes only use ``SessionAuthentication``,
so an ``X-Api-Key`` request returns 401. To let the API key reach Pages, add
``APIKeyAuthentication`` to DRF's ``DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES`` in
``apps/api/plane/settings/common.py`` on the Plane server (one-line change, then
restart the API). With that in place this module works using only
``PLANE_API_KEY`` — no session cookie required.

Resolve the Plane base URL, workspace slug, and API key the same way the shared client does.

get_plane_client_context in plane_mcp/client.py reads PLANE_INTERNAL_BASE_URL first, falls back to PLANE_BASE_URL, and defaults to https://api.plane.so. It also takes the workspace slug and API key from OAuth or header claims when they are present. This module reads only PLANE_BASE_URL, PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG, and PLANE_API_KEY at import time.

Consequences:

  • A deployment that sets only PLANE_INTERNAL_BASE_URL produces _PLANE_BASE_URL == "". _page_url then returns /api/workspaces//pages/, and requests.request raises requests.exceptions.MissingSchema instead of a Plane error.
  • A client that authenticates with the x-api-key and x-workspace-slug headers or with OAuth has no PLANE_API_KEY or PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG in the environment, so every Pages call fails.
  • Import-time capture also prevents any later environment change from taking effect.

Read the values per request and reuse the resolved workspace slug returned by get_plane_client_context.

_page_url then takes the workspace slug as a parameter, supplied by the caller from get_plane_client_context().

Do not require PLANE_API_KEY for the SDK actions.

_require_api_key() runs before the action dispatch, so it also blocks set_collection, list_workitem_pages, attach_to_workitem, and detach_from_workitem. Those actions still use the SDK client, which accepts OAuth tokens and the x-api-key header through get_plane_client_context. A caller that authenticates by header or OAuth now receives a 401 "missing PLANE_API_KEY" for actions that previously worked.

Move the guard into the legacy branches.

Preserve list pagination and use the method supported by the legacy update endpoint. The list action advertises cursor and per_page but currently omits them from the request, so callers cannot page explicitly. The update action sends PUT, while the Plane CE 1.4.2 detail route supports partial updates via PATCH, which can cause 405 Method Not Allowed. Forward the list parameters and switch updates to PATCH.
