This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Put your own value in place of <P4PLAN_API_AUTH_TOKEN> (JWT bearer token for the P4 Plan GraphQL API. Forwarded as Authorization on every tool call). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: P4PLAN_API_URL (URL of the P4 Plan GraphQL API (default: http://localhost:4000)), P4PLAN_ALLOW_SELF_SIGNED_CERTS (Set to 'true' to accept self-signed TLS certificates from the GraphQL API. Default: false), P4PLAN_READONLY (Set to 'true' to expose only the tools that read (same as the --readonly argument). Default: false), P4PLAN_UPLOAD_DIRS (Folders upload_attachment may read files from, besides the workspace folders the MCP client shares. Separate several with ':' (';' on Windows)).

P4plan MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for P4plan MCP?
P4plan MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @perforce/p4plan-mcp was installed 93 times last week.
How do I connect P4plan MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @perforce/p4plan-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use P4plan MCP?
The npm package @perforce/p4plan-mcp was installed 93 times in the last week. Week over week that is -62%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is P4plan MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
