🎸 Claude Desktop Integration

Configuration Location

The Claude Desktop configuration file can be found at:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you already have other MCP servers configured in Claude Desktop, DO NOT directly copy our example file as it will overwrite your existing configuration! Instead:

For existing Claude Desktop users:
- Open your existing config through Claude Desktop:
  - Click on the Claude menu
  - Select "Settings..."
  - Click on "Developer" in the lefthand bar
  - Click on "Edit Config"
- OR open your config file directly in a text editor
- Add our Claudeus Plane MCP server configuration to your existing mcpServers object

For new Claude Desktop users: You can copy our example config file:

# For macOS
cp claude_desktop_config.json.example ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# For Windows (in PowerShell)
Copy-Item claude_desktop_config.json.example $env:APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Configuration Examples

NPX Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claudeus-plane-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claudeus-plane-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PLANE_INSTANCES_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/your/plane-instances.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker Setup 🐳

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claudeus-plane-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--network=host",
        "--mount", "type=bind,src=/absolute/path/to/your/plane-instances.json,dst=/app/plane-instances.json",
        "--mount", "type=bind,src=/absolute/path/to/your/.env,dst=/app/.env",
        "mcp/plane",
        "--config", "/app/plane-instances.json"
      ]
    }
  }
}

🎸 Pro Tip: Make sure to replace /absolute/path/to/your/plane-instances.json with the actual path to your configuration file!

After Configuration

Restart Claude Desktop completely
Look for the hammer 🔨 icon in the bottom right corner of the input box
Click it to see available Plane management tools
Start shredding! 🤘

Troubleshooting

If the server isn't showing up in Claude:

Verify your claude_desktop_config.json syntax
Ensure file paths are absolute and valid
Check Claude's logs at:
- macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs

⚠️ Issues and Considerations

Current Limitations and Workarounds

1. Claude Desktop Response Limits

Issue: Claude Desktop's maximum response length can be reached during complex operations
Impact: Operations may be interrupted, requiring user intervention
Workaround:
- Configure Claude Desktop to break tasks into smaller batches
- In Claude Desktop Settings > Advanced:
  - Set "Maximum Response Length" to a lower value
  - Enable "Auto-split Responses"
- Use the Inspector UI for large-scale operations

2. Rate Limiting Considerations

Issue: Plane API has rate limits
Impact: Bulk operations might be throttled
Mitigation:
- Use batch processing features
- Implement appropriate delays between requests
- Monitor API response headers for rate limit info

3. Memory Management

Issue: Large operations can consume significant memory
Impact: Potential performance degradation
Best Practices:
- Monitor system resources during large operations
- Use pagination for large datasets
- Implement cleanup routines

Future Improvements

We're actively working on:

Improved response handling in Claude Desktop
Advanced rate limiting management
Memory optimization techniques
Enhanced error recovery mechanisms

The Project Manager's Anthem

by Amadeus & Claude

In Plane's vast space,
Tasks flow with grace,
AI's embrace,
Sets perfect pace.

Through Claude's might,
Projects take flight,
In code's delight,
All syncs just right.

A manager's dream,
Where AI and team,
Work upstream,
Like metal's gleam.
