Following my previous article Adding a Playwright MCP server to Warp, here is another MCP server I find useful in my daily use of Warp. Not a lot of people are still using Redmine, I guess, but honestly it works, it's open-source and it exits for 15 years, so some people made a MCP for it.

I chose this one, based on recent activity and downloads.

Here are the steps to set this up.

Note: I didn't set it up with npx, but you probably could for convenience.

• Clone the repo
• Create an local .env in the directory where you installed the tool and fill the REDMINE_API_KEY and REDMINE_HOST values in there.
• Open Warp
• Ctrl-Shift-P and type "MCP"
• Pick the "Open MCP Servers"
• Press the "Add" button
• Paste the following code:

  {
  "mcp-server-redmine": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
      "<local-repo-directory>/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
      "REDMINE_API_KEY": "",
      "REDMINE_HOST": ""
      },
      "working_directory": null
    }
  }
  

The MCP server will start automatically and you can now retrieve a Redmine bug report from Warp and ask the agent to fix the bug in one prompt 😁
