Project MCP Server

A versatile tool for constructing and enhancing your project management knowledge graph by adding new project elements, relationships, and observations.

When to use this tool:

• Creating new project entities (projects, tasks, milestones, team members, etc.)
• Establishing relationships between project elements (e.g., connecting tasks to projects, assigning team members)
• Adding observations, properties, or metadata to existing project entities
• Building the project management structure incrementally as your project evolves
• Organizing and structuring project data within your management framework
• Documenting project status, risks, and decisions
• Tracking project dependencies and assignments
• Creating comprehensive project timelines with connected elements
• Setting status values for project entities
• Assigning priorities to tasks and other entities
• Defining task sequencing and dependencies

Key features:

• Creates three distinct types of knowledge graph elements: entities, relations, and observations
• Supports various project management entity types (projects, tasks, milestones, team members, etc.)
• Validates entity and relation types against predefined standards for the project domain
• Handles batch creation of multiple entities or relations in a single operation
• Returns confirmation with details of created elements
• Ensures proper data typing and structure for the project management knowledge graph
• Enables comprehensive documentation of project structure and progress
• Supports status and priority assignment through entity-relation model
• Enables sequential task relationships through precedes relation

Parameters explained:

1. type: The type of creation operation to perform

• Accepts: "entities", "relations", or "observations"
• Determines how the data parameter is interpreted

2. data: The content to add to the knowledge graph (structure varies by type):

• For "entities": An array of objects, each containing:
  • name: Unique identifier for the entity
  • entityType: One of the valid entity types for project management
  • observations: Array of strings containing properties or metadata about the entity
  • embedding: (Optional) Vector embedding for enhanced semantic search
• For "relations": An array of objects, each containing:
  • from: Name of the source entity
  • to: Name of the target entity
  • relationType: The type of relationship between entities (e.g., "depends_on", "assigned_to", "has_status")
  • observations: (Optional) Array of strings with metadata about the relationship
• For "observations": Either a single object or an array of objects:
  • Single object format:
    • entityName: Name of the entity to add observations to
    • observations: Array of strings with new observations to add
  • Array format:
    • Each object containing:
      • entityName: Name of the entity to add observations to
      • contents: Array of strings with new observations to add

Valid entity types:

• project: Overall project container
• task: Individual action items or work packages
• milestone: Key project checkpoints
• teamMember: Project team participants
• risk: Potential project threats or issues
• decision: Documented project decisions
• resource: Project assets or materials
• issue: Problems requiring resolution
• dependency: Inter-element relationships
• meeting: Project-related gatherings
• document: Project files and documentation
• stakeholder: Parties with interest in the project
• status: Entity status (inactive, active, complete)
• priority: Entity priority (low, high)

Valid relation types:

• part_of: Entity belongs to another entity
• depends_on: Task dependency relationship
• assigned_to: Assignment relationship between tasks and team members
• responsible_for: Ownership of project elements
• created_by: Authorship relationship
• leads_to: Sequential relationship
• blocks: Impediment relationship
• reports_to: Organizational hierarchy
• collaborates_with: Collaborative relationship
• decides_on: Decision-making relationship
• impacts: Effect relationship
• has_status: Links entity to its status (inactive, active, complete)
• has_priority: Links entity to its priority (low, high)
• precedes: Task precedes another task (for sequencing)

Status Values:

• inactive: Work on the entity has not begun or is paused
• active: Work is actively underway
• complete: Work has been finished

Priority Values:

• low: Lower priority item
• high: Higher priority item

Return information:

• JSON response indicating success or failure
• For successful operations:
  • Success flag set to true
  • Details of created elements in the "created" field (for entities/relations) or info message for observations
• For failed operations:
  • Success flag set to false
  • Error message describing the issue

Error handling:

• Returns descriptive error messages for invalid inputs
• Gracefully handles type mismatches and formatting errors
• Rejects operations with invalid types

You should:

• Use consistent naming conventions for entities to facilitate relationships and retrieval
• Begin by creating projects before more specific project elements
• Add detailed observations to entities to enhance context and searchability
• Create relationships to build a comprehensive network of interconnected project data
• Document project status and progress through has_status relations
• Assign priorities to tasks using has_priority relations
• Use the precedes relation to establish task sequences and dependencies
• Assign specific team members to tasks using relations
• Track project risks with detailed observations
• Document decisions with context and rationale
• Update entity observations regularly to reflect current project information
• Check the operation result to confirm successful creation
