## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-04.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: this image's dependency list comes from an SBOM its publisher attached, which nothing verifies, so we will not report it as a clean result.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: this image's dependency list comes from an SBOM its publisher attached. It names packages and versions but not whether each is deprecated, still maintained or linked to its source, so there is nothing we can fairly grade.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to aarondpn/redmine-cli).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 262 tokens (~262/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the Redmine MCP server?

Redmine runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e REDMINE_SERVER -e REDMINE_API_KEY -e REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES ghcr.io/aarondpn/redmine-mcp:2.18.0. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add aarondpn-redmine-mcp -- docker run --rm -i -e REDMINE_SERVER -e REDMINE_API_KEY -e REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES ghcr.io/aarondpn/redmine-mcp:2.18.0
```

This image reads REDMINE_SERVER, REDMINE_API_KEY and REDMINE_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES. Set them in your client's env block for this server; docker run -e passes each one through to the container.

- [security] Stability: Stability not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no schema to compare.
- [security] Tool safety: Tool safety not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no tool text to scan.
- [functional] Schema quality: Schema quality not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we have no schema to assess.
- [functional] Capabilities: Protocol version not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar), and its server did not start in our sandbox, so we never saw its MCP handshake.

## Common questions

### What is the Redmine MCP server?

Redmine is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.aarondpn/redmine-mcp. Work with Redmine issues, projects, time entries, wiki pages and more. Read-only by default. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/aarondpn/redmine-mcp).

### Is the Redmine MCP server safe to use?

Redmine scores 51 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Redmine MCP server expose?

Redmine exposes 1 tool: setup_status. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 33 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Redmine MCP server still maintained?

Redmine is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Redmine MCP server under?

Redmine declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
