OpenProject runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 34 installs a week from npm. Last commit 14 Jul 2026.
Manage OpenProject projects, work packages, files, relations, boards, users, and notifications.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check OpenProject every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
OPENPROJECT_URL (Root URL of the OpenProject instance), OPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN (OpenProject API token), OPENPROJECT_PAGE_SIZE (Default page size from 1 to 100), OPENPROJECT_TIMEOUT_MS (Request timeout in milliseconds from 1000 to 300000), OPENPROJECT_AUTH_MODE (API-token authentication mode: basic for broad compatibility or bearer for OpenProject 17.2+), OPENPROJECT_ALLOWED_UPLOAD_DIRS (Platform-separated directories from which attachment files may be read; defaults to the process working directory).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
