The Problem

Every time you open Claude Code, it's a blank slate. You re-explain the project. You re-describe what's done. You remind it what's next.

ProPlan fixes this with one word:

You: continue

Claude: I see we were working on the auth middleware. Last session you finished
        JWT validation but left the refresh token logic incomplete. 3 tasks are
        in progress across Phase 2. Want to pick up from there?

One word. Full context. Every session.

What Makes ProPlan Different

There are memory tools for Claude. There are project management tools like Linear and Jira. ProPlan is the only one that does both — inside Claude's tool context.

	Linear / Jira / Notion	Claude's built-in memory	ProPlan
Visual dashboard	✅	❌	✅
Lives inside Claude	❌	✅	✅
Structured roadmap	✅	❌	✅
Reads your codebase	❌	❌	✅
Claude updates it	❌	❌	✅
Syncs across machines	✅	❌	✅

Quick Start

npx @proplandev/mcp@latest init

That's it. The setup wizard will:

1. Ask local (SQLite, zero config) or cloud (syncs to the web dashboard)
2. Write your .mcp.json automatically
3. Create a CLAUDE.md so Claude knows to call get_project_status on every session start
4. Update .gitignore so your data isn't accidentally committed
5. Optionally update your Claude settings to skip approval prompts for read-only tools

Then restart Claude Code and type start.

Session Lifecycle

Session Start — get_project_status(include_handoff: true)

• projectGoal — your north-star goal for the project
• lastSession — summary of what was done last time
• recentTasks — tasks worked on recently
• tech_metadata — codebase structure and stack

During Work — after each task

• update_task_status — mark progress with a short note (required)
• add_note_to_task — log observations without changing status

Session End — add_session_summary

• What was worked on
• Decisions made
• What comes next

Dashboard

ProPlan includes a web dashboard at project-planner-7zw4.onrender.com where you can:

• See all your projects and their completion percentage
• Track phases and tasks visually outside of Claude
• Generate your MCP token for cloud sync
• Share progress with teammates or stakeholders

Local → Dashboard

1. Run npx @proplandev/mcp@latest init → choose local
2. Use Claude to build your project — create_project, update tasks as you go
3. Run export_to_cloud with your MCP token from the dashboard Settings
4. View your projects at project-planner-7zw4.onrender.com

Dashboard → Local

1. Sign up at project-planner-7zw4.onrender.com
2. Go to Settings → Claude Code Integration → generate an MCP token
3. Run npx @proplandev/mcp@latest init → choose cloud → paste your token
4. Open Claude Code — your projects sync automatically on every session start

Tools

Read Tools (auto-approvable)

Tool	What it does
get_project_status	Status for one or all projects. Pass include_handoff: true for full session resume context in one call.
get_project_roadmap	Full roadmap. summary_only: true for a lightweight view.
get_next_tasks	Next pending or in-progress tasks ordered by phase → milestone.
get_tasks	Filter by status, phase, or keyword. Up to 500 results.
scan_repo	Directory tree + structural code analysis. Persists tech metadata when project_id provided. Hash-cached.

Write Tools (approval required)

Tool	What it does
create_project	Create a project with full phase/milestone/task structure.
update_task_status	Update status with a required note (max 150 chars).
add_note_to_task	Append a note without changing status.
add_task / add_milestone / add_phase	Add items to the roadmap. All support dry_run.
edit_task / edit_milestone / edit_phase	Rename or update. All support dry_run.
delete_task / delete_milestone / delete_phase / delete_project	Delete items. All support dry_run.
rename_project	Rename a project.
set_project_goal	Set the permanent north-star goal shown on every session start.
add_session_summary	Save what was done this session. Capped at 10 — oldest dropped automatically.
export_to_cloud	Sync local SQLite projects to the web dashboard.

Skip Approval Prompts

The init wizard offers to do this automatically. If you skipped it, add this to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "allowedTools": [
    "mcp__project-planner__get_project_status",
    "mcp__project-planner__get_next_tasks",
    "mcp__project-planner__get_project_roadmap",
    "mcp__project-planner__get_tasks",
    "mcp__project-planner__add_session_summary",
    "mcp__project-planner__update_task_status",
    "mcp__project-planner__add_note_to_task"
  ]
}

---

Manual Setup

Prefer to edit .mcp.json yourself?

Local mode (SQLite — recommended to start)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "project-planner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@proplandev/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Data lives in .project-planner/db.sqlite in your project. Nothing leaves your machine.

Cloud mode (syncs to the web dashboard)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "project-planner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@proplandev/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TOKEN": "your-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your MCP_TOKEN from the dashboard Settings page.
