Claude Plane

MCP server and automation watcher for Plane project management.

Features:

• MCP server providing 40+ tools for Claude to interact with Plane
• Watcher that automatically triggers Claude when issues are labeled or updated
• Self-hosted Plane support
• Single config file for both MCP and watcher

Installation

git clone https://github.com/FishyF1sh/claude-plane.git
cd claude-plane
npm install
npm run build

Quick Start

1. Create config file

In your project directory, create plane.config.json:

{
  "plane": {
    "baseUrl": "https://your-plane-instance.com",
    "apiKey": "plane_api_your-api-key",
    "workspace": "your-workspace",
    "project": "your-project"
  },
  "watch": {
    "pollIntervalSeconds": 30,
    "triggerLabel": "claude",
    "triggers": {
      "onLabelAdded": true,
      "onReopened": true,
      "onNewComment": true
    }
  },
  "claude": {
    "prompt": "/fix-issue {identifiers}"
  }
}

2. Configure Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "projects": {
    "/path/to/your/project": {
      "mcpServers": {
        "plane": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "node",
          "args": ["/path/to/claude-plane/dist/index.js"],
          "env": {
            "PLANE_CONFIG": "/path/to/your/project/plane.config.json"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Control the watcher (optional)

The watcher can be controlled in two ways:

Via MCP tools (recommended): Ask Claude to start/stop the watcher using the built-in tools:

• plane_watcher_start - Start monitoring for labeled issues
• plane_watcher_stop - Stop the watcher
• plane_watcher_status - Check watcher status and logs

Via command line:

cd /path/to/your/project
node /path/to/claude-plane/dist/watcher.js

That's it! Claude can now interact with Plane, and the watcher will auto-trigger Claude on labeled issues.
